In our season finale, we sit down with our magnificent Kontent Queens to witness the duo do what they do best, intersecting pop culture and social media with a flair and charisma uniquely their own. Kia and Vic discuss new social media apps on the horizon, celebrity turmoil, and creators who’ve experienced recent backlash.

To close out our incredible second season, Kia and Vic reflect on what it has taken to arrive at this momentous occasion—celebrating our decorated alums, the dynamic team behind the production, and the learnings and lessons they’re taking away from the last five months.

It’s been an incredible season, filled with insights, joy, comedy, and self-evolution. Don’t fret. This episode isn’t a goodbye, but a see you later while we sit down somewhere.

See you soon for Season Three.

The idea of your content competing amongst the millions of people on Instagram can feel like a daunting task. You may ask yourself, “How can I gain notoriety in my niche? How can brands discover me?” Interestingly, the key to thriving online might be spending more time living and creating offline.

In this week’s episode, we sit down with Besidone Amoruwa, an Instagram Executive in Instagram’s Innovative Partnerships Department, and the Black woman responsible for spotlighting Black beauty creators to gain heightened visibility on the platform. Our conversation is an in-depth examination of how to maximize trends online, utilize creator tools to grow your following, and how to set yourself apart and find success on both a micro and macro level.

Hey Kontent Kingdom,

The Kontent Queens are taking a quick break this week and won't be publishing a full episode today. This week is a Federal Holiday in the United States; more importantly, we need some time to rest, reflect, and reenergize. Making dope shit ain't easy, so we're going to go sit down somewhere. 

But don't worry, we'll be back July 12th with episode four and a very very special guest. While we're away, please be sure to listen to episodes one through three of this season, and if you have the energy and space, go back and listen to season one! It has tons of free gems that we want you to hear and learn from. 

We'll see you all next week! 

With Love,

Vic Styles and The Notorious K.I.A
