Women in Psychology:
It is no secret that woman have never been portrayed as equal in society, let alone in the workplace. We have all heard conversation around the gender wage gap. Women haven’t persevered since the first gathering of women devoted to equal rights in 1848, only to be paid .81 cents for every dollar a man makes (uncontrolled study,) or .98 cents earned for every dollar that a man earns (controlled study.) To put that into a different kind of perspective, 25 percent of working women have reported receiving less compensation than a man doing the same exact job. For good measure, I’d like to add that 42 percent of women have said that they’ve experienced some form of discrimination in the workforce, while 20 percent of men said the same (payscale.com.) Are you still wondering why we might be angry?

The New Wave of Filmmakers on YouTube
A couple of weeks back, I started a podcast with my friend Shania Bethune, called “Making It: Women in Film” (shameless self-plug), where we sit down with women who work in the film and TV industry. We wanted to create a space where women could speak about and share their experiences and opinions, and where aspiring filmmakers could ask for advice and get answers relevant to their position and dreams.

How to Make Social Videos That Your Followers Will Want to Share
In some aspects, social video marketing isn't that different from the cinema industry. Don’t get me wrong: I’m not comparing The Godfather Trilogy to Kim Kardashian’s live streaming (at least not the first two movies). What I’m talking about is how there are many wonderful films out there that nobody knows about... and many run-of-the-mill pieces that have been a huge commercial success.

Creatd Inaugural Letter to Shareholders
We said the following 4 years ago... The entire evolution of digital media, and every individual technological advancement, is met with the same questions. Sociologically, every new digital platform is viewed through that same lens: “How can I have my voice heard on the internet? How can I make money on the internet? How can I scale the money I can make on the internet?” Corporate forces and legacy tech architectures do not necessarily advocate for a free, capitalistically-driven internet. It is not a particularly even playing field in the race to internet fame. However, it is also very early in the transition from analog to digital, and advances are coming at an exponential pace.

Two Years On: What I Learned as a Vocal Writer
I'm a serial blogger. I start a blog, write a handful of posts around that niche, and then abandon it when another idea hits. My writing lives across the Internet on Tumblr, LiveJournal, WordPress, and Squarespace. The random topics included vegetarianism, travel, music, and living the LA lifestyle. You name it, I probably wrote about it.

How to Use Pinterest to Write Screenplays
Social media is anathema to writers everywhere. I always thought that statement was true. That may be what you thought, too. In many ways, social media is a distraction from truly creating; it’s a black hole of time, energy, and inspiration.
