We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Diallo Duke a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Diallo, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?
I knew what I wanted for myself for a while now as a kid I used to always be into movies, shows, games, all types of media. That brings me to say I would put myself in the shoes of one of the greats along with my wild imagination just sparked a vibe and greatness in me.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
Creating Content Was Always A Thing For Me Even Though That Wasn’t The Name For It At First, I Started Posting Videos To My Facebook Social Media Page In 2012 Just As A Way To Post And Show What Im Doing Or Just Funny, Dumb Stuff I Used To Do With My Friends. I Eventually Started Doing Videos Like Hood News, Podcast Called Blunt Talk, Creating Whole Skits, Redoing Movie Scenes, & Much More. Converting To Instagram & YouTube Was Different It Made My Ideas Broaden & It Brought Me To Enter New places & Meet New People. I Continued To Make Skits & Short Funny Videos Also Running Promotional Services For Businesses, Artist, My Own Events & Hostings. I Am Most Proud Of My Growth In The World & Everything Around Me I Have built a lot of new Relationships & Have Creating Something I Can Be Proud Of.
What can society do to ensure an environment that’s helpful to artists and creatives?
More Creativity For Sure, Everyone may not have the same visions or goals but collectively can build on one another’s ideas and make gold. I also believe I Am the one that loves to bring everybody together for vibes and moments that can’t be redone or seen anywhere else.
We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?
Networking Is A Huge Part In Building An Audience & Having People Support Any Cause Your Into. I Networked A lot & Never Stayed Stagnant On One Goal I Always Had Many & Would Push To Finish One At A Time For Complete Access To The Next.
