S7E8 - Lessons, Laughter and Connections (From Panels to After Parties): Unveiling our Experience at The 5th Annual Afros & Audio Podcast Conference <Part-2>!!

Have you ever wondered what it&apos;s like to attend a podcast conference, especially as an African, Diaspora, or a person of color? Well Sambaza and I&apos;s incredible journey at a recent podcast conference will give you the inside scoop as you join us in reminiscing about the electrifying in person experience we had. From celebrating our first IG live with a yogurt shot to panel discussions and lessons learned from our fellow Podcasters of color.Navigating through the conference, we realized just how rewarding it can be to channel creativity, even with limited resources. As we were confronted with the challenges of securing sponsorships and dealing with budget constraints, we discovered the value of networking and expanding our knowledge - all contributing to unique podcasting experiences. Attending the Afros conference, the importance of making connections and exploring creative advertising on a budget were invaluable lessons on the journey.Sambaza shares valuable insights from his 1on1 with Amy, our experience with  responsible and ratchet promotion, and the importance of consistency to one&apos;s brand. We also highlight innovative ways to engage listeners, such as using SpeakPipe to collect voice notes and merchandise for giveaways. Finally, what would a conference be without the afterparty? The vibrant energy, the chance to unwind, socialize, and build relationships made it an unforgettable experience. We had a blast creating content for social media, celebrating our journeys within the podcasting world, and gathering knowledge from different communities. By the end of it all, I was emboldened by self-belief, encouraged by the tremendous support from others, and ready to make my mark in the podcasting world and stages.This episode is a celebration of all those experiences and more, so come, join Sambaza and i on this recap!
