The Influence Community

This month, we’re recapping August and talking about something we’ve both been feeling lately: are we all a little too obsessed with trends, virality, and being told what to post?
We're getting into the rise of social media "experts", the importance of creating content that feels like you, our current IG + Tiktok thoughts, what creators should focus on right now, fall fashion, community Q&As and MORE <3
