Takin' a Break. Top Story - October 2023.
I have not been as active or reciprocal as I should be, and for that, I do apologize. However, I do not have the bandwidth or energy to focus my creative attention primarily on Vocal at the moment. I have missed your stories dearly, and I regret not being able to read as much as I would like.

I Found Success on YouTube. Then I Walked Away. Top Story - September 2023.
The Beginner’s journey Being a successful creator on any platform takes a lot of work. You toil away in the early days hoping to find traction, you tweet into the void, write for hours every day to no audience, film videos, edit, and publish to get a handful of views. It’s brutal. If you’re a creator of any kind, you know what I’m talking about.

It's Official! I've Earned Six Figures Writing on Vocal. Top Story - September 2023.
I. Am... In Tears!!! It's not the emotion I thought I would be feeling when this day finally came but it's also not unexpected because I am a softie and I just didn't...I honestly didn't think this would happen three years ago when I sat down in the middle of lockdown, crying my eyes out because I was so broke and didn't know what to do. It was the night I decided to take Vocal seriously.

The Facebook Group Vocal + Assist. Top Story - August 2023.
Many of us creators on Vocal Media belong to many Facebook groups for Vocal Media. While it is important to remember that Vocal does not run any of these groups, they play a crucial role in building community, sharing our work, and acquiring some reads. While there are several groups out there, I would like to highlight the group Vocal + Assist for this article.

Deep Dive Into the Creative Me . Top Story - August 2023.
My apologies Subhi Najar (Medium Writer) for my tardiness in responding to your latest Deep Dive as I'm late to the party once again. I'm still on holiday, so of course my writing has suffered, but I'm finally here.

Vocal Deep Cuts 6. Top Story - August 2023.
Hey! It's time for another edition of Vocal Deep Cuts. I honestly can't believe I've done five so far. That means, in the past, I've showcased 45 different creators. Thank you to everyone who has shown support for this series. As I have always said, I will only stop it when it feels like interest is dying out.

Happy Birthday Hip Hop . Top Story - August 2023.
I absolutely cannot believe that today, August 11th 2023 is the 50th birthday of Hip Hop culture. This means so much to me because Hip Hop plays such an important and positive role in my life. 30 of Hip Hop’s 50 years on this earth have been part of my very foundation and upbringing, so I have to write a letter expressing my love for Hip Hop, the positive impact that it has made and pay tribute to the Hip Hop artists who have inspired me.

I Feel Like a Bee with No Wings. Top Story - August 2023.
Hello my loves. I've been away for a while. Don't fret, I haven't been lost in the midst of writer's block. In fact, I've been lost within myself. I've been terribly unwell these past few months. I've spent many weeks confined to my bed, and then given medication to which I had an allergic reaction, too. My face flared up, burning red, like someone had placed two hot irons on my pale cheeks. It swelled and nearly covered my eyes - it was awfully itchy.
