So I don't want to divulge too many details here but we're planning on taking a short trip very soon. Actually, a series of short trips, like we usually do.
I'm excited about the break, but the middle trip is the one I'm really excited (and also nervous) about.
If it comes through, it could mean a significant boost in our scale of operations.
It could also mean more stories, more diverse representation, more ways of outreach, more awareness, and more ND lives impacted overall.
There's a shit load of work to finish first, though.
There's the two last AHKN S1 episodes. Then there's another pitch, which needs to happen before August 15. It's a really important pitch that we've been working on since mid-July, so really don't want to screw it up.
We've also been closely following some other media companies that are working in a similar space as ours. One of them is AJ Contrast. They're the Al Jazeera group's marginalized communities media outlet, and they do a lot of features on disabled folks. Really good stuff.
Other than that there's a DEI seminar in Andheri tomorrow. Aditi might attend it while the rest of us sit and work on the AHKN episodes.
Some of our followers are asking us what our next series is going to be. We kind of have an idea, but we definitely need to find more people to speak to before we can be sure. People who will give us good insight, like the AHKN subjects did.
Also, some people are really weird. There's this push-pull dynamic in social interaction that confounds me.
People are keen on collaborating with us, show us interest, write in, then ghost us.
More and more we're getting comfortable with not letting these things bother us.
Because our style of storytelling is damn cool, and whoever has seen our content will vouch for this one thing. Including this one person at the Cafe Arpan shoot who couldn't stop congratulating us for doing this series.
Anyway.
We crossed 2k on IG and are close to crossing 1.5k on YT. One of our recent IG posts got 1.6k organic likes, and a whole bunch of interaction. We literally had no idea people would relate so much to a topic so niche.
Guess that's the thing about social media - you never know what's going to work.
Also, we're quite pumped about this new AHKN episode featuring Savitri. It's got some really good insights, and it needs to be out there.
More now than ever.
That apart, there's about six more AHKN Chats - Autism Demystified episodes in the pipeline. Ready to roll out.
Composed one original for Savitri's episode. Have a whole bunch of good ideas banked, but I don't know when I'll have the time to sit and work on them.
Want to start working on those two albums as well.
Finished one good Domestika course, and am doing another one right now. I'll end with a line that the guy in the course said that rings so true with me:
'People who dedicate themselves to the world of ideas are usually constantly working on them or they're thinking of different ways to generate them.'
