A confession, an inquiry, a gift.

Movement of Belonging has not been… ummm… moving much during the pandemic. At least not in ways perceptible to outside eyes. Behind the scenes, though, the simmer raised to a boil… a delicious new buffet of MOB programming awaits. But how to connect these new offerings with the humans who would be most satiated by them?

According to popular guidance, I am supposed to be on social media, lassoing Followers like virtual captives. More followers equal more sales, right?

A Confession. 🤫 My gut tells me that IG/FB mostly represent the opposite of a Movement of Belonging. I don’t want MOB to be on social media. Not like that. In fact, I notice after ten minutes of scrolling, I feel less accepting of myself, less Belonging - not more.

But how else do we connect in a One-to-Many kind of way these days?

An Inquiry. 🔍 What are other ways to build bridges, nurture relationships, and offer my work at a large-scale? Or is there a way to make a social media account a true movement of belonging?

This inquiry has been and continues to be very alive for me.

A Challenge to Me. ⛰️ In the meantime, i am hungry to get things moving. So, until an alternative reveals itself, I am going to attempt to utilize Instagram (and FB) to initiate new dialogue around Movement + Belonging, and hopefully generate some real-world discoveries together.

What could “providing value” look like on social media?

A Gift to You. 🎁 I have ideas on how the snazzy image carousels and 2,200 character limits could be worth your screen time. Last week, I made MOB’s first posts 🎉 including a quick movement-based experiment you can try at home. More ways to play will land this week.

I humbly invite you to check it out - and to stick around and explore with me this very experimental play in-progress. Your engagement and feedback quite literally will shape how this MOB grows and flows.

Have ideas for what you’d love to receive via a social media-delivered MOB? All ears I am.
