With nine national magazine features and seven television appearances, Amanda represents the older woman demographic unapologetically and works at finding them wherever they are in social media.

The Changing Faces of the Creator Economy

Location: Room 207CD

Friday, June 28

2:45 pm - 3:30 pm

Featuring: Avi Gandhi, Jerry Won, AyChristene and more

Just five years ago, the words "creator" and "influencer" conjured images of young, white, good-looking people producing vlogs, thirst traps, and gaming livestreams for similarly young audiences. Today, with 200 million creators globally and up to 35% of the US population involved in the creator economy, the faces of the creator economy have changed for the better — giving voice to the expertise, experiences, and interests of a broader spectrum of creators and consumers. In this panel, we talk to leading voices of underrepresented groups of creators to learn how the space is changing — for better or worse — and what creators can do to be successful both in spite of and because of their underrepresented backgrounds.
