The African Creator

We're finishing off the season with another deep conversation of the reality of the creator lifestyle.  Do creators package themselves according to their own terms or according to how they want people to see them?  Is this beneficial or harmful to their brands?  How could we find the balance of being authentic and still showing the best version of ourselves?  Tune in to hear us break this all down with our own personal experiences.
