“My words are what I would say to my sister, my mother, or the women I want to protect,” he explained in an interview with the Newyorker. “Even after being hurt by a woman in the past, I understood where it came from and why she was the way she was as soon as I met her father, the man who had broken her heart long before she’d even known me.” 

Based in New York, Holmes had amassed close to 2 million followers on Instagram – an epic achievement by any standard. But his road to fame actually started on a different platform – Twitter. Having made his account in 2014, he began sharing epigrams and short, satirical poems made specifically for social media. Using Twitter first taught him how to say less while packing a punch. Now, his goal is to write 7,222 words per day.

“I came into 2016 with 251,018 followers,” he shared with the Newyorker. “I entered 2017 with 515,164. I am a workhorse. I think a lot of people in my industry are content with the ‘struggling artist’ ideology. I’m not. On any given day, my account brings in 600,000 to one million ‘likes.’ The object is to be seen or heard, and I make a lot of noise.”

“Your account should be growing, you should also be growing,” he stressed. “Evolving is the point. People bulls**t in our niche, they say follower count doesn’t matter but how in the hell do you expect to reach this generation if they’re not following you in some form or capacity?”

Now, years later and with more than 80k dedicated followers on Instagram, her words are inspiring others, both on and off-screen. “I’m not made of the kind of earth that buries,” reads one of her verses, “I’m made from the kind that resurrects.”

Her short, Instagramable, poetry is the kind that lingers on long after you first read it. “My poetry is very much a reflection of who I am,” says Reddy. “I started writing as a kid, simply as a way to verbalize feelings I didn’t know how to talk about – and while my writing has definitely improved since – I still write for the same reasons.”

“The greatest creators in the world are still in high school,” she adds, “we should be learning from them. One of the most frustrating parts of school for me was believing there was something wrong with my feelings because the adults I spoke to couldn’t relate, and I believe that’s one of the main reasons why kids don’t feel comfortable speaking up for themselves. Listening is key.”

Tune in.

“Get out of your own way,” reads one of her Instagram posts. “Get out of your head. Get it on to paper. Work through the doubt. Work through the unknown. Work through uncomfortable moments. Try things you are holding yourself back from doing. Make all the mistakes necessary for you to learn how to keep getting back up. It will help you in the long run.”

“It always seems impossible until it’s done,” reads another quote. “This quote is so encouraging to my heart to remember how I felt before I did it,” adds Holliday underneath her post. “Getting used to that feeling of being uncomfortable is actually the best soil for growth. My encouragement to you is to keep taking steps forward even if they are baby steps! Small progress is still progress.”

In 2019, Holliday received the Minnesota State Arts Board Artist Initiative Grant which was a great opportunity for her to showcase her work in the Minnesota community. And with more than 10k followers on Instagram, she has clearly inspired lots of people to take steps forward.

While I was in school, I took on any side project I could to get experience, and eventually, those side projects became more demanding than my full time job.”
