Hey 👋🏽 My name is Natasha Younge, a woman of color and independent digital journalist living in the Greater Los Angeles Area.
I founded The Younge Hollywood Blast™ (1st place, Shorty Awards 2013 & 2014) on the Paper.li platform in direct response to the lack of representation in mainstream entertainment media about diverse emerging, independent talent and creators.
This passion project expanded to become a resource for a consistent micro-subscriber audience, nearly 5000 Twitter followers, and over 1000 Facebook fans for 10 Years!!
The flagship award-winning online publication on Paper.li highlighted diverse creators and creativity world-wide while keeping readers ahead of relevant business and industry trends related to entertainment every week.
Our community-driven social media projects and conversations have helped countless creators publicize their crowdfunding projects to millions of viewers...
And to ensure media access for all, I have interviewed, livestreamed, blogged, podcast-ed and amplified our creatives' works at little to no cost. This is, however, not sustainable. So I am working with my community members and supporters, new and original, to create a more sustainable model for our news going forward. It would be an honor to have you join us!
Your coffees make all the difference.
They sustain the digital journalism, help develop our innovative resources (workshops, industry partnerships, etc.) and improve production quality while we continue to grow this space.
They also keep me (Natasha) hydrated late-nights and weekends when I edit footage, geek out about digital journalism, or connect personally with all of our fans and creative friends worldwide.
Be part of our evolving growth!
If you like this community's content, our passion, my dedication and our vision, please support this space with a coffee. Thank you! 💖
