The Responsibility of an Artist

Artists have a unique responsibility in society as they have the ability to inspire, challenge, and shape cultural norms through their work.

One responsibility of an artist is to create work that is true to their own vision and perspective. This means being true to oneself and not succumbing to external pressures to conform or create work that is popular or profitable, but not authentic.

Another responsibility of an artist is to push boundaries and challenge societal norms through their work. This can include tackling difficult and controversial subject matter and pushing the boundaries of traditional art forms and mediums.

Artists also have a responsibility to use their platform and influence to raise awareness about important social and political issues. They can use their art as a form of activism and raise awareness about issues such as poverty, inequality, and social justice.

Additionally, artists have a responsibility to give back to their communities and to support other artists. This can include mentoring young artists, participating in community art projects, and supporting small independent galleries and art spaces.

In summary, artists have a unique responsibility to be true to their own vision, to challenge societal norms, and to use their platform to raise awareness about important issues to give back to their communities and support other artists.

 April 29th 2020 and December 8th 2021. What a difference studying and spending all those hours on webinars and workshops trying to figure this out. Sometimes having to clear almost every word in an article just to know what the hell they're talking about. Trying to explain to friends and family why I was doing this and sometimes I was trying to explain it to myself. But here we are and I'm truly grateful.

Thank you to anyone that watched the early shows where I had a weak signal, choppy audio and all you saw was a blurry Puerto Rican with a goatee that changed colors!
The guests were always great and I know the value was there and it's the main reason I kept going. Now I've done hundreds of hours on interviews, Live streams, plus being a guest other hosts podcasts, and more. The future looks great and I thank you all for the support on this journey. we're just getting started. Love, JHS

Twitter CEO canceled.... here's why it happened..

 

Twitter failed as a viable platform because in its inception it was intended to allow everyone to express themselves freely. When it was realized that the majority of the people on there were becoming even more suspect to the intention of some political parties, it had to be stopped and redirected back to the original agenda. If you look at those numbers, the majority were interested in stories about corruption and demanded honesty from political figures. Many political leaders couldn't deliver and those that did speak their truth, whether you agreed or not, received the most attention, shares and exposed accountability that was covered up by mainstream media.  This was a no no and needed to be stopped and they did stop it by pushing buzz words such as misinformation, fact checker, social justice, white privilege and distribution of wealth. Well, it seems some are starting to pay closer attention and asking questions.  The majority is actually much bigger because of the condemnation of free speech.  As usually, the ones who do not want anyone to hear any other opinions but the ones that move their criminally charged agenda forward, have failed again. 

Twitter was a beautiful platform that allowed and even forced a person to be creative with their views and freely express it. It will be missed. I know it's still here but in the eyes and hearts of freedom lovers, it's dead and has been for a while.
