I remember the night we broke up, I rolled a joint and smoked that loud while we talked about why it wasn’t gonna work. I turned to her and said, “You know I’m gonna be the next Oprah right?”
Okay, so maybe I don’t command an audience of millions (yet), but I just had the best week ever as a podcaster. The first interview episode of Season 5 aired this week and Sulyiman was the perfect first guest.
You can listen to the episode on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or Anchor.Fm
This coming Wednesday, 4/20 The next episode of the podcast airs with an interview with Peachcurls. I’ll tell you more about him and the episode next week so stay tuned.
In my orbit, a rumor was spread that ASAP Rocky cheated on Rihanna, the informant later took to the internet to apologize for publishing the information he had received. It got me to thinking about internet power, who wields it, and how. Twitter is a tricky space for the ego to navigate because it has a way of making you want to say outrageous things for the clout. When it comes to celebrities ppl who engage a large audience might want to be careful. Next thing you know you could be caught up in a slander case.
I know that I just want to build relationships with my connections be it online or offline and I want people to be able to trust me.
I hope that at the end of the day a lesson was learned.
This week I asked for donations from my connections on Instagram, Twitter, and Tumblr. I put up a ko-fi page to accept these donations and hallelujah! they came thru! I will have to continue to ask for donations/tips this year because so far I don’t make enough to pay myself and each week it’s a challenge to survive.
I am also beginning to seek sponsors for the show along with press. Overall things are growing, shifting and changing and i’m glad for the support that has come through this week. Thank you!
