| Description | An artist website not only allows you to connect with others, but it also allows others to connect with how you self-define.

The stressful thing about social media is that once you post something it’s out there and can reach anybody; lack of content moderation on social media is harmful for everyone, but especially for marginalized voices. It’s not uncommon for right-wing folks to attack marginalized artists on social media. When you have your own site, it allows you to mold and hold your own narrative of who you are as a creator. Having your own site is honoring the portfolio of your creative journey, by giving it a safe home. This can also add an air of legitimacy when booking professional gigs. |
