SUPERbrains
Itโs a bird! Itโs a plane! Wait, itโs the SUPERbrains!
We know youโve been expecting the ability to vote. However, one of our talented editors has left to pursue a new opportunity and we are currently short-staffed until we find a new editor. Because of this weโve not been able to get ahead of our content schedule as much as we had anticipated. The good news is that weโve got some really promising candidates so we should be back on track soon! We so appreciate your patience in waiting and apologize that we werenโt able to get you your vote this month. ๐งก

What We Accomplished This Month
Checkout Our Channel Trailer!
Some of you may have seen it already, but we released our channel trailer! Originally used for Jessicaโs AmazonTalk, we decided it would make for a great channel trailer in general! Wanna watch it?! Awesome! You can do so here ๐๐ How to ADHD | The Trailer
VidCon 2022
VidCon was finally able to happen this year!
Jessica and part of the team were able to go to VidCon! Picture montage? PICTURE MONTAGE! But firstโฆ we want to introduce some people to you!
We all know the smiling face at the very front, but who are the team members behind Jessica?
Glad you asked!
Right behind Jessica is Palestrina, our delightful, wonderful, and immensely talented Creative Director! Our videos, branding, and social media content have a lot of Palestrinaโs expertise and brilliance baked into them. We are ever so thankful for her direction!
And behind Palestrina? Some of you might think the hat feels familiar! Ever wanted to know who did our animations? This is the guy! Witty, fantastic, and just as talented, Stephen brings a lot of our videos to life with eye-catching graphics and animation! Weโd be lost without โem!
OK. NOW PICTURE MONTAGE!
