Why I Left BuzzFeed 

Hi everyone! Here’s my “Why I Left BuzzFeed” video, which is just a LITTLE different from the other ones you’ve seen 🙃. What started as a simple video ended up with something I am truly excited about, mainly because it showcases a great culmination of teamwork (seriously, check out the amazing people credited on this video above!), passion, and love for storytelling - plus, you guys know me, I tend to be a little bit ~extreme~ 😜. Honestly, this has been quite a scary endeavor, to leave the stability of a paycheck to try to do something solo. Rather than talk about my dreams for this channel, I wanted to show them to you by making them a reality: performing stunts, showcasing diverse people doing badass things, and collaborating with people who just flat out love the work they do. I am eternally grateful for the support you have already shown me on this channel in just our first few weeks together. When you guys message, comment, and share your love, it inspires me to keep gunning for the next big thing, no matter how insane or unbelievable it may be at the time. As I say in the video, I have so much respect for my peers at BuzzFeed for continually inspiring me in my work there to go above and beyond. I realized that in order to continue raising the bar, I needed to try to do this on my own. I personally feel that this is clear in the video, but want to reiterate: the villains shown in the video do NOT represent BuzzFeed nor its employees, rather the fears and obstacles of becoming an independent creator. I’d much rather get on with my life and start kicking ass on this channel rather than dwell on whatever happened in the past. 😎 xx MK

I avoided watching this for so long because I thought I knew what I was going to get. I did not know what I was going to get.
