Project #2 #SLHSme

Launch yourself or your brand You all have skills, loves, something that motivates you. Use this time to launch yourself or your brand.

You are all at a different place. Someone like Khai has been building their brand (Self Love) for over a year now.

Most of you are talented and creative but have not done anything other than your assigned website and Youtube channel. It's time to change that and launch yourself or a brand for a product or media that you create.

Assignment: Launch yourself or your brand.

Take what you love to do. Drawing, photography, filmmaking, music, watching Netflix, sports, cooking, eating snacks, social justice, hiking, stargazing, etc. Start making content. Put your work out there but now do it with a plan. Don't worry about being good, don't worry about what others will think, just start. The idea is that you might get noticed six months from now or years from now. You can launch a named brand, like Self Love, Beautiful Places, or you can launch your personal brand, YOURSELF!, like Ms. M has for her professional website here.

Start by creating a video that shows what you love to do.

The video can be promotional or Vlog style.
