Amani Richardson succeeds Chanel Tyler, the inaugural CIR, who reflected on her experience:
“Collective Voice changed everything for me and helped me become a full-time entrepreneur… The most rewarding part was witnessing creators' aha moments: when a webinar unlocked a challenge, when a new tool sparked monetization, or when a Q&A shifted someone's mindset from 'I don’t think I’m cut out for this' to 'I can now see a future in this.'” — Chanel Tyler
Richardson shared her excitement for the role:
“I'm honored to step into this role as Collective Voice's new Creator-in-Residence… I’m excited to share my first-hand experiences of securing brand deals, building a prestigious creator portfolio, and creating content that sparks joy. Having a seat at this table is a beautiful challenge that couldn't have come at a more perfect time.” — Amani Richardson
