In this video, I share my journey of feeling uninspired on Instagram and the internal conflict I faced as a new mom trying to find my voice online. I discuss my call with Meta and the advice I received versus what felt right for me. I talk about the shift to text posts on Instagram and the surprising positive engagement it brought. Additionally, I reflect on the challenges black creators face on social media and the importance of authentic self-expression. Lastly, I encourage creators to find what feels good to them, even if it goes against conventional advice.

UA-cam is definitely social media! lol Oh, and if I went buy my numbers in followers, I would have quit creating content a LONG time ago. Keep up the thoughtful content Tyler continued blessings to you and your family! ❤️
