During my time as a Talent Coordinator at Scale Management, I ghostwrote an essay for our client, Giannina Milady Gibelli, the breakout star of Netflix’s Love is Blind for Playboy Magazine.

After the first season of Love Is Blind aired in 2020 and rose to the top of the cultural conversation, with Giannina emerging as one of the series’ breakout stars, Playboy Magazine reached out with an opportunity for Giannina to pen an essay opening up about her experience in love, sex, and dating.

While Giannina was excited at the opportunity to be featured in Playboy Magazine, she was not confident in her writing ability, so I was tasked with writing the article on her behalf in her voice. I conducted a sprawling phone interview with Giannina, transcribing key quotes and absorbing her tone and voice to write this essay as her.

The resulting essay I penned as Giannina is copied and linked below:
