For the next few episodes of the podcast, I'm focusing on the theme of 'getting visible'. Let's get visible! Visible! *Sang in my Olivia Newton-John voice* Increasing your visibility as a creator and business owner is important to the overall success of your business. I want to explore some ways that we can do that for ourselves and our creative neighbors. To kick things off, I'm sitting down with my friend Alisha Robertson of the Purpose to Service podcast and artist Christa David to have a conversation about what it means to be visible, especially as a black woman and creator. My hope is that conversation inspires you to decide how you want to show up online, expand your visibility, and set boundaries that work for you.
