I paused long enough to ask myself: If I wasn’t already an artist, would I still choose music as the life I want to build today? 💭 I think I finally know my answer 🙇‍♀️ The purpose is still there. The desire to create and impact people is still there. I’m just realizing the vehicle may have changed 🚗 And everything I’ve been learning here—ownership, business, funding, positioning, relationships, systems, showing up and following through—is helping me see what else might be possible Im forever grateful for everything AMP has taught me—and I’m definitely not going anywhere. 🥹🙏🏽 This one is personal. Press play.

Hey, what’s up AMP family👋🏾 Iwas testing out the branding images again and decided to create a few visuals of where I see myself in the next 2–3 years with music, using the guidance and knowledge I’m gaining from this experience.although I do know hard work and consistency opens these types of doors. I’m willing to put the work in, I have a true message behind my music. Here’s what I came up with! -Big Chunk

I told y’all before DELTA FEST that for these two days, I was putting my regular content schedule to the side because my assignment was simply to SHOW UP. And I genuinely don’t think I understood what that was going to mean until I got there 😮‍💨 For two days, I sat in rooms listening to conversations about philanthropy, community development, access to capital, entrepreneurship, AI, workforce development, infrastructure, procurement, the creative economy and what it actually takes to build and scale something that creates lasting impact 🔥🧠🙇‍♀️ I heard directly from funders, technologists, community leaders, bankers, entrepreneurs and people who are actively shaping economic development across Mississippi and the South. And somewhere in the middle of all of that… I stopped feeling like I was trying to figure out how to get into the room and started realizing that Between Worlds BELONGS in these conversations. 🥹💙 I NETWORKED, y’all. 😂😂😂 And I learned something hilariously simple about myself: “Hi, I’m Paris.” THAT WAS IT. 😭 I had been overthinking how to approach people when apparently all I needed was an opening. Once I said hello, everything else came naturally. I made real connections. People approached ME. I exchanged LinkedIns and business cards. I met people in technology, business, media and community development that I genuinely want to continue building relationships with. I also attended an incredible conversation on new careers and businesses in AI, healthcare and education with Dr. Nashlie Sephus and Phil Chow. During Q&A, I got the opportunity to ask about something I’ve been thinking deeply about: as AI becomes more powerful, what happens when the models, infrastructure and data are concentrated among a small number of companies—and what role can open-source AI play in distributing access and opportunity more broadly? That conversation gave me even MORE clarity about what I want Between Worlds to teach. AI literacy cannot stop at teaching people how to prompt ChatGPT.

Hey AMP Family! I hope you all had an amazing 3 day weekend. I am noticing the week of posts from last week are looking a little light for the homework assignment. And that's OK! Now my question is, did you all need one more week to complete it? Don't forget this is supposed to be a year long course condensed into about half of that, so I want to be mindful of the time it may take all of you to come up with that many days of content. So being that I don't see most of everyone caught up, I am going to make an executive decision to postpone tonight. But I want to know in the comments, is one more week enough time? If so, let's revisit the next lesson next Monday! ~Tiffany

Hey AMP family! 🖤 This is my Day 1 video from my 7-day content plan. My biggest question is: does this feel natural when you watch it? And if this came across your feed, would the opening make you stop scrolling and keep listening? I’d also love any quick feedback on the lighting, sound, framing, or anything you think I could tighten up before I record the remaining six Trying to find that sweet spot between intentional and polished, but still feeling like me. 🧬✨
