Mindset
“I luckily had a support system that was they took me this group of people in Miami and I'm so thankful for them my friend Kenny and Devin and they they literally said we're going out to dinner and at dinner they're like we know who you are we know your heart and what your intention is so remember that this is what's important when this happens and I think if you're going into the Creator sphere you have to make sure that you have that group of people for those days that people will come after you and it just rocks you”
Build a "remember-who-you-are" friend group
When you grow online, getting piled on is a when, not an if. Pre-build a tight IRL friend group whose job is to remind you who you actually are when strangers misread you in public. This is not a 'nice-to-have' — it's the only thing that lets you keep showing up after the first hate wave hits.
