The Language of Social Media
Woman yelling imposter at another.
I’ve never had social media.
LinkedIn in the past was for job leads, but I never posted a single thing.
I thought it was bold when my mother started her Facebook over a decade ago, my sister, daughter, and friends would constantly ask me to finally create one, but I never did.
When I launched Amber & Ash on Substack, I was in a new and slightly uncomfortable atmosphere.
It was unfamiliar like learning a new language and trying to speak with fluency.
It felt like I was the last one to arrive at a meeting, like a freshmen in high school, like the newly hired trainee.
I haven’t earned the right to be in that space, or have I?
So, I introduced myself with a 👋 Hi to everyone and a wave in hopes that no one would point me out and yell imposter.
And yeah, that link to my work in the chat forgetting the h before https:. I may need one of those stickers that new drivers have that reads be patient new driver.
Yet, I got here, typo and all, still learning the language of social media.
Thank you for reading The Language of Social Media.
