Working for Spinning Forward was a great experience as it taught me how to be self disciplined, motivated and ambitious to learn new and adapt to skills I am interested in including video editing and marketing. It was great working with others to understand how SOP's and a proper structured outline works to stay organized and make tasks such as creating video or Instagram posts simplified and easy to follow.

I learned a lot within this role! I learned how to balance multiple commitments and activities, as well as being overly communicative when working in a remote or hybrid setting. It helps your manager keep tabs on what you're doing and help them course correct what your priorities should be when working. Moreover, I learned a lot about the content creator space in the GTA and the obstacles that people of colour and marginalized communities face in said space. They are more vulnerable to systemic issues that can lead them to face more online hate and burnout than would their cisgender, caucasian, and neurotypical counterparts. I was able to create social content using tools and platforms that I had not been aware of prior, and I also was able to create standard operating procedures for incoming interns so that they could do their assigned work with a visual reference to draw from.

Working with Flavian at Spinning Forward has been an incredible opportunity from both a career and learning perspective. Spinning Forward's initiative to raise awareness about the challenges BIPOC content creators face has significantly expanded my understanding of algorithm bias and racial pay discrepancies. This newfound knowledge will be valuable in guiding future social media and marketing initiatives, as I'll be more mindful of these issues. Throughout this project, I've gained valuable experience in content writing and developing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Additionally, I've refined my skills in leveraging software and AI technologies to increase efficiency. This multifaceted project has provided me with insights into various career paths and has deepened my understanding of social media content creation.
