hello!
Brooke Brodack pops on for a quick live stream in the middle of teaching an English lesson online, needing a moment to connect with her creative self. She shares the recurring conversation that happens with her students: they ask what she does, she tells them she is a YouTuber, they get excited, then she explains she deleted her famous channel and is starting over -- a cycle that has become a defining FAQ of her current life.
The brief video captures the strange reality of being a YouTube pioneer with one subscriber, working her way up from the very bottom while teaching English to fund the journey. Before she can say much more, a Cambly call comes in and she has to jump back to teaching -- a fitting snapshot of the dual life she was living in India.
