VizSense - Blog - VizSense Vizionary: Alex Morgan

How did you find the inspiration to start your page and take the leap as a content creator?

The netflix show premiering actually prompted me to be more active on instagram. We were getting constant messages about how inspirational our story was and how they wanted to hear more so we decided we would start producing more content!

What is your overall inspiration for your posts and Instagram feed?

Our feed is mainly focused on LGBTQ+ visibility and positivity because that is an area that is still lacking in representation. We aspire to be an example of healthy same sex love.

How did you get your first brand sponsorship, and who was it with?

It was actually for Neutrogena through y’all! It was through the email that is in my bio on my Instagram page.

What are the biggest lessons you’ve learned working for yourself and creating your own personal brand?

It is so important to have time management and content creation days. We are full time students and nurses so it can be really hard to set time aside for meaningful pictures and captions. We don’t want to just post to post, we really care about the message we display with our content.

What is your favorite part of being a content creator?

I love connecting with people from all around the world! It is such an inspiring thing to be able to hear stories from LGBTQ+ individuals that are each experiencing something different. There is also so much positivity out there that drowns out the negative comments and I love that we’ve fostered such a great community.

Who is your biggest inspiration in the industry and why?

This is a hard one! There are so many inspiring people out there that have created an amazing page with a fun and uplifting message but one couple I really love watching is @itsjustnicole___ & @itsjustmadi___ on Instagram and TikTok! They are both such genuinely nice people that welcomed us with open arms.

What do you wish people knew about influencers?

We work really hard!! I don’t even know if I consider myself an influencer just yet because I feel like I still don’t even know what I’m doing, but if I do know anything it is HARD WORK.

Where do you see yourself, as well as the industry, within the next few years?

I really hope to just connect with more people and keep spreading the message that LGBTQ+ love is beautiful and should be celebrated all year around. We would really love to work more with other content creators that share the same message as us to create even more of a community!

What is the best piece of advice you have for people who want to build their own social media brand and get started in the industry?

Just be you and interact with like-minded people that support your brand! Find a niche that works for you where you don’t have to work at trying to fit the mold. Above all else, just reach out to people and post content that you feel is true to who you are and people will appreciate that and follow along!
