According to Laderer, her art is very much based on her life experiences and is the byproduct of much trial and error. “My experiences and personal journey have been integral to what my art has currently transitioned into,” she explained in an interview with Ever Made.

“I spent years exploring art, learning from mentors and teachers,” she further relayed. “But, I got a little off track and took the responsible route, e.g. going to college for graphic design.” According to Laderer, it was only after graduation and the impending reality that this was it, that she decided to put her big-girls pants on and return to her original goal: making art, that is. “So I did it; I learned from everything I could get my hands on, put myself out there, and shared my work,” she says.

Combining her background in graphic design and fine art, Laderer aims to create positive change in the world, both ethically and ecologically speaking. “I think a burning planet, plastic straws, and social injustices suck,” she writes on her website. “That’s why I choose to work with people like you who believe in a more eco and socially conscious future.”

“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.”

Her many projects include book illustrations, textile & print licensing, stationery collections, and writing pieces about mental health and emotional well-being. But what really made us fall in love with Patel is her Instagram page which is an upliftingly wholesome haven in a sea of self-promotion and beauty gurus.

“I am interested in projects that add beauty to the world; help people feel more like themselves, and remind us of the oft-overlooked moments in our lives—because they are usually the best ones,” she writes on her website. “I am interested in exploring the intricacies of human connection, and I use my work to unearth the small yet vibrant stories found in everyday life. Like you, I have many worlds inside of me. I am sensitive but tough. I am pragmatic but free. I am a dreamer. ​I hope my work will always serve as a simple reminder: you are not alone.”

“What you can control lies within yourself: your thoughts and attitudes, your wishes and desires, and the perspective you choose to live by,” she adds in an interview with Freelance Wisdom. “We often blame our fear for keeping us from moving forward, but it’s our perspective of fear that truly holds power—it can imbibe us with strength and courage, or it can slowly destroy us. If you believe that everything that happens to you holds a lesson, you’ll be better equipped to find the lesson and learn from it. If you believe that there is purpose and meaning in difficult, you’ll find beauty in the obstacles you face.”
