Excellent piece Kelly! Here here for this clarity and owning our own power and importance as artists. And also, creativity requires risk, something I think marketing and branding efforts would be against, somehow :)
Wow!! Just wow. I cannot believe someone asked you to pay to be on their podcast! Thank you for sharing this because...like wow. We should all remain vigilant 👀
Here's to this piece going viral! I appreciate how you wove together how becoming a personal brand puts us into a box, how dehumanizing that is, and how counter to real creativity. There's an element I'm mulling over about how person-as-brand has been an especially feminized sphere - how women have leveraged that for economic power - and how limiting it ultimately is... so much here!!
Girrrrrl the first time I was asked to pay to play I wanted to give up on the whole thing because how can I ever compete with people who are willing to drop serious cash for exposure. Thank you for bringing light to this topic !!!!

Oh, yes! I hadn't thought about how much more prevalent this is for women. That's such a great point.

And readers/listeners have no idea. It’s so hard to discern legitimate media and pay for play.
