#19 – How Does The Vibe Room Spotlight DMV Creatives? | Natasha Magino

Founder & editor-in-chief Natasha Magino is back to break down how The Vibe Room spotlights under-represented DMV talent—and why the new art-book series is her biggest swing yet.
  • From frustration to platform: launching The Vibe Room in 2017 on a $35K salary and a lot of grit
  • Bouncing back after the pandemic valley—re-growing the team and pulling 200-person turnouts again
  • The art-book pivot: fewer essays, more visuals, and a faster way to fund future issues
  • What real collaboration looks like—respect, bartering skills, and zero gate-keeping
  • Tips for keeping attention in a scroll-crazy world: show up, say your name, and host your own events
