From Broken Words to Runway Lights: The Jessica Martin Story 💔→💫

They told me I'd never make it. A girl who spent her childhood stitching together secondhand clothes to avoid bullies certainly couldn't decode the algorithms shaping fashion's future. But here I am—Computational Linguist by day, Fashion Icon by algorithm—and this is how language became my revenge. 🖤

At 14, I wore duct-taped sneakers to school while translating my mother's medical bills from Korean. The other girls whispered about my 'thrift store couture'... until I started hacking their beauty standards with Python scripts. 💻✨ By analyzing 10,000+ outfit posts, I reverse-engineered the perfect viral look: 66.7% nostalgia, 22.1% rebellion, 11.2% vulnerability (the math checks out).

When MIT rejected me (twice!), I cried in a Dunkin' Donuts bathroom wearing a $3 lace dress from Goodwill. That dress later sold for $1,200 on Depop after I proved its stitch patterns matched 18th-century French courtesan garments. Take THAT, admissions committee. 👑

Now? My NLP models predict trends before designers sketch them. My closet is a neural network. And yes—that time I got death threats for 'ruining streetwear' with Baroque text embeddings was 100% worth it. 🏴‍☠️
