If you spend a portion of your time online, you likely have heard the term nepo baby. Even if you didn’t hear it, it’s rather likely that you have run into one in real life.
We say so because nepotism runs wild in nearly all areas of life, sometimes even unnoticed. That’s why today we decided to shine a light on it and share stories nepo babies themselves shared about this lifestyle. So, let’s jump in, shall we?
