  • Turner Livingston turned his passion into a plan through his fall internship with @tyrusdivine. 👕👞
 
As a senior digital marketing major, Turner completed his internship alongside fashion brand owner Tyrus Divine Hosley @tyrushosley, gaining hands-on experience in entrepreneurship, branding, and creative leadership. Turner contributed to professional fashion projects, including assembling style portfolios for NBA athletes’ pregame outfits, and gained valuable insight into how to avoid costly mistakes as a business owner.
 
The experience also helped Turner refine his own journey as an entrepreneur as he prepares to rebrand his clothing line under a new label, Overlook, with a clearer strategy and stronger vision for the future. Reflecting on the role of clothing, Turner shared, “For me, it’s an expression of yourself. And as a believer, I think people can see a difference through us. Clothing can be a beautiful conversation starter.”
 
For Bushnell students preparing for internships, Turner encourages them to seek opportunities that align with their interests and pursue mentorship intentionally. “Find something you’re interested in and passionate about,” he advised. “Work with someone who can really help you grow in the field you want to be in.”
 
Great job, Turner!
