Who are we?
Please Hustle Responsibly is written by Angela Hollowell and members of the Rootful Media team. I’m the founder of:
Rootful Media - a Durham-based media company built on Southern soul food, tequila, and a thirst for telling authentic stories. We help purpose-driven organizations reach their audiences through visual storytelling.
Honey & Hustle - a video podcast featuring founders in North Carolina (and sometimes beyond) and their entrepreneurial journeys, challenges, and wins.
YouTube Channel - where I share videos to help creators and entrepreneurs grow their audience and impact.
- - a newsletter community for fans of Black and Brown women athletes.
If you’d like to support my work and growing team while learning from me, keep reading.
Join Please Hustle Responsibly+
Please Hustle Responsibly+ (or PHR+ for short) is our premium newsletter membership. It’s built to make you a more prolific and efficient creative entrepreneur or professional creator. If you’re interested in tactics, strategies, insights, and stories from my journey and network, PHR+ is made for you. By joining PHR+, you’ll get access to exclusive content created for the professional creator. This is just the start of what PHR+ will grow to include.
Private podcasts. Monthly, quarterly, and annual retrospectives on the visual storytelling brands I’m building.
Seasonal creative sprints. Join us each spring and fall for 90 days/12 weeks as we host a creative sprint with prompts and frameworks to help you level up your creative production and business.
Member-only AMA sessions. Ask your questions and join me + a special guest as we answer them in a podcast and/or video.
Discounts on courses. We’ll be making courses and masterclasses to answer some of our most frequently asked questions.
For the price of a delicious craft beer or overpriced mocktail, you’ll get access to new content each month.
Write us off
Literally! PHR+ is highly actionable, so expense the newsletter subscription. Joining PHR+ can directly help you accelerate your career as a creative producer, creative director, chief marketing officer, showrunner, content creator, art director, brand storyteller, and head of creative – the possibilities are endless (and hopefully so are the creative budgets 😅).
To make the expensing process as easy as possible, we’ve created a template you can use to send an email to your manager. We’d love to have you in the community!
I look forward to connecting with all of you in our community newsletter comment section (which will always be free)!
