📚 Real Moment From Today’s Networking Event…
Today I was at a book signing + networking event.
I interviewed several authors who were selling their books. I told each one:
“I’m a videographer. I’d love to connect on Instagram. I’m going to piece these clips together and tag you so more people can discover your work.”
By the fourth author, I got a different response.
She said,
“Oh… I’m not really on social media.”
And she declined the interview.
Let that sit for a second.
You’re at a book signing.
You wrote a book.
You’re selling a product.
But you don’t want visibility.
That means:
- I will probably never see her again.
- No one beyond that room will know about her book.
- Her reach stays limited to friends and family.
And instead of getting frustrated, I realized something deeper…
This is why some entrepreneurs stay hidden.
Not because they aren’t talented.
Not because they don’t have something valuable.
But because they are uncomfortable with visibility.
🚨 Visibility Is Not Vanity — It’s Responsibility
Especially in our African-American community.
If we don’t connect…
If we don’t network…
If we don’t document…
Our solutions stay small.
Your book is not just a book.
Your business is not just a business.
Your story is not just a story.
It’s a solution.
And solutions deserve to be seen.
🎥 The Hard Truth
You cannot build impact in isolation.
Networking isn’t optional.
Social media isn’t “extra.”
Visibility isn’t ego.
It’s distribution.
And distribution multiplies influence.
🧠 Community Question:
Be honest…
What are some of your fears about:
- Having an online presence?
- Showing up on video?
- Networking with strangers?
- Being seen consistently?
