YouTube Description (I'm behind on Rumble, but I rather you stay on here to get it rumbling):

I had something great happen on one my YouTube channels, and ever since then people been freaking out. Go here if you are interested: https://www.instagram.com/aleshampeterson/.

Here's the advice I laid out.

Ok here's a lil tough love in this. I notice with some of these messages, y'all act like I did a godly act or parted the red sea. No. I just grew my YouTube channels. (And remember, I'm just starting my journey, chill out....). Nobody wants to be there at the beginning of your journey, but everyone wants a piece when you make a breakthrough.

This is a huge secret: Creatives: Don't listen to limiting beliefs, and get used to being disliked and misunderstood.

Non-creatives: Stop putting your negative beliefs on people because they are doing something or living a life you don't understand. Going silent is not support, & on some level you want to see them fail because they are going for their dream.

I didn't listen to anyone who messaged me from my past telling me that "you can't" do it. And now the messages are hella different. 722 messages are ridiculous, especially bc I've been off your radar this whole time. Here's the thing, you do not need me or my 'reels' or advice. You could figure out Youtube or anything on your own just fine. Don't kiss my butt, or pretend I'm some famous person lol. I'm not a guru or sage. I've been called the nicest things since my "breakthrough". I'm the same Alesha you've always known. I just had the guts to go for it. I'm very chill.

Instead of being sorry for words that you actually meant to say to me. Find someone who is a creative, artist, musician, entrepreneur, etc & back them. Leave your opinion out of it. Instead of supporting a celebrity you don't know, pick a local, a black business, poc business, someone you know trying to do something. If you like their product, BUY it. Instead of telling your actor friend that their job isn't legitimate, share their projects everytime they get booked (& they don't even have to know you are doing it). Bc if & WHEN that person becomes successful on some level, eating your words & having the mirror reflected back on you ain't so pretty. Just bc you can't see yourself making money with a creative venture, doesn't mean it applies to someone else. Be better than this & keep your opinions to yourself. Stop putting your negative limiting beliefs on other people. FIND YOUR PURPOSE.
