Welcome to Episode #9 of the Written in Melanin Podcast.

I'm an introvert. It's something I've known about myself for a long time. I know how to be social, but given the choice, I would much rather prefer to be at home with a book or a good anime to binge, spending my time not being perceived by anyone else. That being said, my personality doesn't negate the necessity of putting myself out there -- of making my name known and letting people know who I am, what I do, and why they should be supporting me. It's not easy so I'm sharing what I've learned about marketing and using social media to my advantage.
