Tonight I met a fellow media type for the first time (face-to-face) and we had a nice little chat. I really admire his work and am working to feature him on my other blog.
We talked about our mutual news backgrounds, and some of the work he's done that I love ... And during our chat he told me that he appreciates what I do, because there aren't many people around here truly pushing for the Underground Artist and giving them chances to showcase or platforms to have their story told.
See ... what I do is not for my ego, or money, or anything but the LOVE of artistic expression and wanting to see talented people from my hometown get the recognition they deserve.
And trust me, it's not easy being selfless in a city like this one. Especially when you barely get a thank you in return.
He said he wished there were more people like me.
Heck, so do I!!
Wouldn't it be amazing if we put our personal agendas aside and just supported the home team?
Instead of always vying to be the starter or MVP, just be a cheerleader or fan?
Or while on your quest to the top, stop to acknowledge and support those who are on the same journey and work so that we ALL can win???
No?
Too much like right huh?
Oh well ... a girl can dream can't she.
