We’ve been observing how content creators today choose to share which bits and pieces of their lives to share, and going through some reevaluations ourselves. So let’s talk about it - content creation and privacy - with our good friend, content creator & teacher Irene J. Kim! She dives deep into:

• what aspects of safety/privacy she is most concerned about
• times she's had to reevaluate how much she is willing to share, whether that's opening up more or drawing a boundary for herself
• and how her debriefs with collaborators and loved ones go when it comes to her position as a content creator attracting 100K+ viewers
