    Wow this interview was really awesome. Yvette is so down-to-earth and hyper aware about her positionality as a creative artist and how much artistic freedom she has. Critical thinking like that and self-reflection is really impressive and really deserves respect. She's so inspiring I love her so much fuck I'm in awe
    Edit: can't wait to see covet in Seattle!

    Yvette seems like a fascinating person. I think its great that she creates art because she loves it rather than because she feels she has to do it to earn a living. On the contrary to what she says 28:14, I think she knows a great deal about love.

She’s a guitar-tapping, key-flying cutie that’s got a great musical future ahead and can’t wait to see where the journey leads...cheers!!🤘🏻

      when people downplay theirself like that its usually an exaggeration of words and they might imply something else less "stricter", you can see she's trying to find the right and simple words to explain things. for all we know, she may have been emo-ish and in turn made her look like someone no one wants to deal with.

    Interesting that she's still not making a stable living at it; I'd consider her pretty successful. Makes you wonder how many talented people actually are. That said, she doesn't seem like the type to put a lot of focus on how best to monetize her talents.

  • @imranesmail23
    @imranesmail23 3 роки тому +1

    i find females are so wonderful in expressing how they see themselves and the world. Or at least, they have greater intuition into understanding themselves. I find for men, that intuition isn't as natural or innate and comes with honest learning. With our public schools failing to educate and technology/social media more and more encircling our lives, both genders will suffer, but men will suffer the most (at least directly, with females being more indirectly effected). Without having that innate intuition, they will be more disconnected from themselves. This inability to see themselves honestly will lead to an inability to communicate effectively, I feel this will cause a greater disconnect between the genders. This is only a current though I had and I don't mean to generalize. Please feel free to call bullshit.
