We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Moly Gomez a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Moly thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Can you tell us about a time that your work has been misunderstood? Why do you think it happened and did any interesting insights emerge from the experience?

Being misunderstood is a feeling we all experience from time to time. It can happen in everyday conversations, when others fail to grasp your idea or perspective. For artists, this sense of being misunderstood is almost a defining trait. I’m not suggesting that artists possess some mystical power but we do see the world through a different lens. We notice details others might overlook and are deeply attuned to how things make us feel. It’s in these moments, when our ideas are mischaracterized, that we can find an unexpected advantage. Being misunderstood, in fact, can be a beautiful gift.

Moly, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

My name is Nohely Gomez, Moly is my nickname, I’m an Accountant by career, a Fashion Model & Content Creator, and a Full Time human who’s trying her best everyday. This is one of the most difficult questions to answer, talking about myself is not one of the things I’m always looking forward, I guess this when my shy side comes along to play but what I can tell you is that I love deeply everything I do. I love working in my field, I love teaching people “How to Pose” and how to get the best versions of themselves in my Workshops, I love every Photoshoot, every opportunity I have to work with a Brand, and I’m truly grateful with God and my family for every achievement I have so far. Each step forward feels like a gift, and I never take it for granted.

We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?

Social media is one of the most powerful tools we have to build an audience. I’ve always stayed true to myself, and I’ve found that when you show people your authentic self, the response is overwhelmingly positive. So, my advice? Be authentic, and remember that every new day is a fresh opportunity to try, grow, and connect.

What can society do to ensure an environment that’s helpful to artists and creatives?

We all have that friend who’s working hard to chase their dreams. Supporting them has never been easier, whether it’s sharing their business on social media or attending their events. Small gestures like these can make a big difference. Networking and showing support are key to building a strong, thriving community.
