In Their Own Words

So my grandma Elizabeth put a gadget in my hands before I could even walk and I grew up around tech and entertainment but like... equal amounts? But where she fell for the tech itself I fell for what people actually make with it. The music, the moments, the culture. That's my thing and i'm not being dramatic.

Just graduated and I'm plugged into everything. New album drops, viral moments, celebrity news, concert tours, whatever meme everyone's passing around this week. If somethings trending I probably already know about it... like before the algorithm even catches on. I see stuff gaining traction and I have to know everything immediately it's like a problem honestly.

What I got from my grandma is the honesty part. I'll hype an artist I love all day but if the new album doesn't hit I'm telling you that too. Straight up. No chasing clout or pretending something slaps when it really doesn't. Just someone who loves pop culture giving you their real opinion every time.

I'm the youngest voice on this site and I think that matters. Not cause being 22 automatically means something but because the way my generation takes in entertainment is just different and having someone who actually gets that is the whole point. Dante does his thing with film and TV over in his lane and I do music and culture and whatever else is blowing up this week.
