WHAT IF THE APPS SHUT DOWN TOMORROW?
Jazmin Jenay started HATTIE MAGAZINE, a “Black TV & Film PRINT magazine because I want generations after us to know who we are, and what we created beyond the digital timeline.”
“After working as a social media manager for the past few years I became extremely digitally fatigued but I couldn’t force myself to log out. The next casting, next connection, next opportunity most likely rested in me scrolling my thumb on social media. That left me wondering — what will they know of us if the apps shut down tomorrow? We need something that can be held, a physical record of our brilliance.”
Wow, this line: “what will they know of us if the apps shut down tomorrow?”
This is why we build websites, start magazines, and build creative communities. Yes, setting up a website is hard, but so is starting a magazine! We do these hard things because they are worth doing.
As Casey Barber said in a recent Escape Pod call, having a website is, “an investment in your sovereignty, and your autonomy, and your you-ness, honestly.”
