🌀 The Reality of Being an Artist-Influencer in 2025 — with Arielle Estoria
It’s 2025 and everyone’s sick of social media… so what do we do now?
Today we’re kicking off season six with a conversation with poet, author, actor, and model Arielle Estoria. Over the past decade, Arielle has cultivated a multi-faceted creative career while growing her Instagram following to over 100K people.
In this vulnerable conversation, we explore:
- Arielle’s work as an artist & how social media turned her into an influencer
 - What happened for Arielle when supporting Black creators was no longer “popular”
 - The impact of social media trends on our identity + creative practice
 - The boundaries Arielle's creating to stay focused on her art in 2025
 - Plus! Arielle asks me if I miss anything about Instagram… and we chat about my newfound Youtube addiction 😬
