Hi. I’m Satta Sarmah Hightower, a former journalist turned freelance writer and content marketer.

Over the last 12 years, I’ve built a multi 7-figure solo business, using the storytelling skills I cultivated as a journalist to produce content for corporate clients and national publications.

I always tell people I became a freelancer by accident, but I’m now a freelancer by choice. I fell into freelancing in 2014 after back-to-back layoffs, while saddled with $55,000 in student loan debt and persistent doubts about why I had chosen a path with such career and financial instability.

More than a decade later, that unexpected career turn has given me greater control over my time, more flexibility for my family, and a path toward financial freedom.

That journey inspired me to write The Forever Freelancer, a practical guide for people who want to build sustainable careers that demonstrate meaningful work, financial success, and a thriving family life can coexist.
