Summary

Angela Hollowell highlights the story of Kinigra Deon, a fellow Alabama native and creator making family-friendly, scripted content on YouTube. Deon shares insights on features YouTube could improve, like allowing product placements, audience-specific A/B testing, and relaxing rules around depicting scripted content as real. She also offers a thoughtful perspective on why there aren't more women creators, citing factors like gender imbalances in film education, early YouTube favoring viral risk-taking content, and the lack of community for women creators. Hollowell aims to bridge this gap through initiatives like the PHR Creator Database.

Can't believe I've never heard of Kinigra... over 4M subscribers for a YouTube channel of mostly scripted content is incredible.
