5. She Believes In The Importance of Community
There are lots of successful people who like to believe they’ve accomplished everything on their own, but the truth is that everyone needs people from time to time.

6. She Loves Encouraging Others
It goes without saying that one of Julie’s main goals is always to keep people entertained, but that isn’t the only thing she hopes to do with her platform. She also enjoys being able to empower and inspire other creative people.

This is the ultimate goal”.

In addition to the work Julie has done in front of the camera, she has also had a very successful career as a DJ and radio host. She was a host for Apple Music’s Beat 1. However, she decided to step down from her position in 2021 so that she could focus on other ventures.

Julie has already accomplished lots of great things in her career, but there is plenty more she wants to do. One of those things is to start her own music festival.
