My name is Nicky and I used to work in the entertainment industry for 3 years on the social strategy & marketing side before I ever became a Creator.

EVERYTHING feels like extremism, and we have completely lost the idea of nuance. To like some things, dislike some things, and still be a fan. Now it feels like everything is a team sport-- where you have to endlessly defend your team.
