i can’t stand a bitch that’s never wrong, and that’s quick to get violent with their language if they disagree. even if i agree with you most of the time. people are way too comfortable being condescending, disrespectful, and petulant to strangers or quasi associates

always been a dream to work with the legend eric johnson and @essence!! had so much fun experimenting with the team on these looks (many of them low key era-defining). one of my fav shoots ever! also, fun fact: after a full day on set, I went across town to pull an all-nighter

I’ve actually abandoned https://t.co/PI5oRJ6Vc0 at this point. As a journalist, I’m not the intended audience, it seems. Now, I take my audio recording and put it in Slack. Slack transcribes it pretty quickly and it’s a godsend 🙏🏾
i use https://t.co/Qa2PKPtQXf for interviews and at some point since i started using it it’s become an exclusively b2b product so instead of just showing me a transcript, it also creates an AI synopsis of the interview (usually unhelpful) and “action items” (always unhelpful lol)

Learning how staying in media and only engaging with current events through publications and social platforms prevents us from scratching the surface. Let media be an entry way, revisit as you’re give the opportunities. It’s ok to take breaks if you’re as good as you say you are.

I hit a wall in media. Not because it’s “not good enough for me” but it can only contain the imagination to a certain extent. Many of us can dream with more imagination than a budget will ever allow bc the budget doesn’t exist for all.
