'I quit my job to start a pole dancing career - I became addicted straight away'
When it comes to finding the perfect career, it can be difficult to pin down your passion, and for Akila Cristiano she was left feeling uninspired after battling countless jobs in a bid to find the right fit. "I worked as a receptionist to sales and social media, literally everything you can imagine I've done it, but nothing stuck.
I was going from job to job, either quitting after a couple of months or getting fired because I just couldn't put my heart and soul into anything," Akila exclusively told OK!
But everything changed when Akila, who hails from London, was introduced to pole dancing. "I started around five and a half years ago and then opened my studio around three years ago.
For me, pole was new, and it felt like a novelty when I first started, and my ADHD brain thought it was really exciting. I went to a class, and I just became addicted straight away - I thought, 'I need to do this forever'.
