Every social media post should have a beautiful graphic. If there are two identical stories, the one with the beautiful graphic will always win.

Social media is social. We're looking to touch one heart at a time. With one great story at a time.
Of course, you decide which story you want to tell. For me, it's been very authentic, so sometimes I'm super happy, and I post four pictures one after the other; sometimes I'm busy, and I don't. Sometimes I'm sad, and I post a sad picture.
Social media is something of a double-edged sword. At its best, social media offers unprecedented opportunities for marginalized people to speak and bring much needed attention to the issues they face. At its worst, social media also offers 'everyone' an unprecedented opportunity to share in collective outrage without reflection.
Too many brands treat social media as a one way, broadcast channel, rather than a two-way dialogue through which emotional storytelling can be transferred.
Social media companies must combine their mastery of the latest in real-time, location based or augmented reality technologies in the service of clear and consistent storytelling.
To share a story is in part to take ownership of it, especially because you are often able to comment on a story that you are sharing on social media.
If somebody says your story is only published because you look nice in the photo, that maybe spurs you on to write.
It's too bad for us 'literary' enthusiasts, but it's the truth nevertheless - pictures tell any story more effectively than words.
As a visual storyteller, a lot is learning what to include so you're not being redundant between images and text.
If anybody reads a story in a magazine or book, different pictures compete in their minds.
