New Yorker Anisa Benitez is Brand Manager for YouTube Music and has created a name for herself working in marketing at iconic brands such as Google and Time Inc. More recently, she decided to launch https://www.morebyher.com/home/, a platform dedicated to the advancement of female creativity, all about replacing the 'starving artist' concept with the #thrivingartist. Anisa is super passionate about creating a platform for women so that they don't need to question whether they can live and work as artists, and More by Her provides tons of examples of women living their best creative lives. Unfortunately we hit some major wifi bumps throughout this conversation, which really upset me because we touched on some very personal experiences. However, out of that hour-long convo I still have 30 minutes to share with you! We start off with Anisa explaining why, with so much on her plate, she decided to launch More by Her, and we also discuss the deeper reasons behind her going for the big chop.
