Unsighted talks white girl dancing and creating a joyful safe space online

We're so excited to have you here today

MASH 101 honoree. So I want to say, yes! I'm in it. I'm so locked in

I'm so locked in. Am I going to swear on this? Yeah, absolutely. , I'm so locked in

So I'm curious where this journey began for you with content creation

Yeah, yeah. Honestly, content was something I've always kind of done, even growing up

I would just make skits and shit like that. Um, but it's really, like, last year, I decided I was like, I want to post more than just, like

because I had my music, but I didn't want it to feel like I was always selling to people. Sure

And I was like, okay, let's show my personality. Yeah. And I told myself, um, because I had the Morgan J thing happen, and I was like, this is an

opportunity, and with this opportunity, I can't waste it. anytime I had like a viral video before or something like I didn't do anything with it I was

just like oh wow this hit numbers and I'm like I've learned I'm going to post every single day

multiple times a day from now on and I'm gonna double down and see what happens and um this is

what happened yeah well tell us more about the Morgan J moment for those who aren't first yeah

yeah yeah um so Morgan J was like um my first like breakout video because I was at this comedy show

and i was like being a dumb ass as i do and and he saw me laughing too loud in the background and

he's like you know what's wrong with this man why are you giggling like this and i was like dude it's

so funny and he's like you're so weird i'm like yeah i know and then we started like touching each

other not weird uh but like it was like it was like a fight um and then we were just like yo

this is a vibe and the video went viral as hell and now i was like and that's why i started

doubling down i love that and like your energy has been you've created such really wonderful

concepts about it i do want to talk about white girl dancing how did that come to had to be and

like where did you know like this is catching on so the white girl dance uh was basically like it

was it was a comment that someone had put and they were like show us your best white girl dance and i was like i so happy you asked because i actually practiced this you like challenge exception i was like oh my gosh pinned um and i went and i i hit it and everyone was like oh my god this is crazy and it was like

millions and i was like huh and then the comments were like do it again i did get millions and i was

like oh this is a thing now and at first i was just like oh this is something people like like

um but then once i started dancing with people and then i saw people start being like omg you

should do this here come to this city come to this country come here i was like oh people like

really want to do it with me yeah um and it didn't really hit that this was a thing until i went to

another city and i started meeting people and then i actually saw the impact it had on people

Because to that point, it was just like, everyone was like, I love it. But then I went to like New York and it was the first time like someone came to me crying

And they were like. Where were you at in New York when that happened? I watched a lot of the New York videos

Yes. I was in Little Italy. It was right before I did the large group white girl dance

I remember that one. And this lady came in with roses. And I was like, oh my God, what

She's like, this is for you. I just want to let you know how hard life has been recently

and like watching this video like every day on my feed gives me a break from how difficult

everything else is and that's what that means to me and I was like oh oh there's like more to this

yeah and then it grew from there and I started looking at it from a lot more than just haha

this is fun I was like oh we're like creating safe spaces I think there's something about the

freedom in which you dance and the freedom in which you laugh like truly because I think people

get like we because like cringe became such a thing and it's like people became afraid of

being weird or or being like goofy and like you know everybody wanted to be cool and what i think

is incredible is that you make it look cool to be like it like truly yeah i'm joyful and i'm

not going to feel bad about that or cringe about that or whatever thank you so what is it that you

love about like content creation and working on the internet before content creation i was in film like outside of like my music I was in film In what role Director director and producer Oh okay Yeah yeah yeah And an editor Always editing I have a background too

Ah, there we go, there we go. Down for the editors. And it was just like, oh, while I'm doing this, it's not necessarily film, but my goal

in film was to be able to like create stuff that would eventually impact people or stay

with people. and it's still a method of creation yeah and the thing that i like so much about content creation

is i'm basically doing the heart of why i liked film um just on like a a faster scale sure and

that in itself is still getting to like not that every piece that i do moves people but it like

it stays with people or it can be an inside joke at the dinner table like it's there's a way where

it impacts your everyday life and that means like I myself am able to put some kind of impact in the

world around me it's also been so exciting to kind of watch this grow where it was like at first you

were doing it alone and then we got to watch people be really excited the amount of people like videos where it's someone way in the distance like let's talk filmmaking let's talk depth of

field and how average women become track stars and like a lot of systems in heels

like i'm curious what it's been like for you is that has shifted and like you start hearing people

like screaming and like running at you because that i mean like i'm sure there's an element that's

exciting but there also could be an element of being like oh this is intense um strangely i think

it's because i'm weird like shit like that doesn't this doesn't like like raise too many flags in my

head but also because a lot of the times I sometimes this guy screams but like

majority it's like the screams of like a woman and like when I hear when I hear

that like instead of me being like oh my gosh she's coming to kill me I just

think like oh my god what's so fun what's happening and I started looking

around cuz I'm shocked I'm like what's the big deal what's the big deal and then they like oh my god I like oh my god what are we oh my god thing about and it like so many times I forget that like we screaming for this because I start screaming it like where and they like there and I like where you like what the moment they like you

you were the moment so you were one of our mash 101 nominees I'm gonna I'm just

gonna admit it you were one of my my recommendations I will say like when it

comes to music I'm deeply an emo girl like I'm not a white girl dance girl I'm

much more that I'm gonna headbang and look awkward but whatever yeah but those videos they just brought me such joy it was so lovely to see the way you've grown them so can

you talk a little bit about like what it meant to you when you heard that we wanted you to be part of mash 101 i was so confused i saw like mash 101 and i'm like like because i made 101 videos like

what are we what are we talking about and i i went and then i saw it was like like 101 top picked

and i'm like and i look at the list of other people on there i'm like how how am i hearing

and XLA. I'm just looking at the huge names and I'm like, like, like, like, like, like

I will say you were an easy one to get through the, through the vetting process. I was just like

I was like him and everybody was like, yes. Wow. Thank you. It's wild to me because I feel like

I keep feeling what's, what's, what's, what's the term where you're like, where you're like

I don't deserve this humbling or imposter syndrome. Imposter syndrome. I have so much of

that because it'll be like here top 101 and I'm like no like I'm not that I'm

not I'm not big enough like I don't have like millions like that like and then

I'll get like messages of people saying how I impacted their lives if like 15

seconds I'm like wow maybe it is a thing and then I forget and I'm like no no

they can't be it's not like that so it meant a lot because it was like a

a physical piece of proof to something that I don't tell myself. And that was huge

And then when I posted it, everyone's like, absolutely, of course, you deserve it

I'm like, what do you mean? It was, yeah, yeah. So it was very good to be given something that I don't give myself

Thank you. I love that. Well, we're thrilled to have you here. We think you deserve it
