I haven’t posted in over two weeks, not on here, and really not on any social media. Missing a week of posting, has been something that I’ve been trying desperately not to do since January, but ultimately, work takes priority over blogging, and I spent the last two weeks working, almost non-stop.

Where to Exhibit Work
When I decided to throw all my effort into making Chocolate Diamond Media my full time endeavor, I wanted to be strategic about how I did that. I wanted to make sure that I was spending money, but as importantly time in the right areas. One decision that came out of that, was to avoid YouTube.
Balancing and Breaking from a Branding Strategy
In January, I went through the process of removing video work that I thought looked unprofessional in it’s message and tone, because of how political it was. It’s not something I’m sorry I did, most of it wasn’t that good, but then I thought for the past few months that it served me best to keep this company apolitical, in order to not alienate potential clients. That I don’t agree with anymore. I will not use this platform as a soapbox to preach and lecture from (as it grows, because currently it’s not that large of a platform) but I will not try to remain ‘neutral.’ That’s the promise I’m going to make with you, the people reading this now, or prospective clients who are scrolling back through my posts in the months/years to come. I can work with people of differing opinions, and I will not lecture, but I will not remain silent when I feel that silence is complicity.
