All my homies hate META. My friend Brandon said that when I broke the news.
I have been posting multiple times a week across several Instagram and Facebook pages since I was 12. I invested in m.joy, mayaheemayahaa, and designsbymjoy with my passion for photography and videography. I never thought to think about how quick everything in the digital realm can be taken away, with one hack or forgotten password or in my case, a faulty AI flag.
I received an email that my account was suspended for child exploitation. I immediately appealed but was denied just as fast, receiving notice that the decision is permanent. All my pages were linked through the accounts center and were banned all together. I have no access to thousands of memories.
Okay sob story I know. However, there is a strange sense of calm within me. There is a deep knowing that A) everything will be fixed or B) I can now be mysteriously off the grid and start from scratch. However, there is nothing about me that screams secretive. Here I am already creating a website because I need somewhere to spill my thoughts and stories.
