Christina Sledge was laid off in February 2026. What she did next became Episode 1 of So You Got a Message. From a $99 wedding to planning vow renewals, from wanting to quit to interviewing her heroes — Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Tamron Hall, Big Daddy Kane — Christina's story is about staying open even when the rug gets pulled. She closes with advice to her 21-year-old self: don't go the safe route.
