A day in the life of a millennial freelancer who says the UK's corporate drinking culture pushed her to work for herself and prioritize work-life balance

Leonie Annor-Owiredu always felt pressure to succeed.

But with her first internship, she began to realize her impression of British work culture wasn't for her. At 8 a.m., she joins a Zoom group called"The London Writers Salon," a gathering of writers meant to spark creativity and hold each other accountable in establishing daily writing habits. Like many millennials across the UK and the US, Annor-Owiredu lives at home, and 10% to 30% of her income goes toward supporting her family — a responsibility shared by many young people of color in England, she said.

Her workdays are spent conducting pitch meetings with new clients, having recap meetings with current clients, and completing any projects she's working on. courtesy of Annor-Owiredu
