Hi all! I am BRAND new (pun intended) on YT so have some flexibility in crafting my brand and I want to do it intentionally. My name is India Witkin and I am creating content about food, travel, history, and self discovery. It will be very documentary style videos (vlogy style + talking head, explainers, interviews). I will have a food series coming out later this year that will be comprised of seasons (8 episodes posted once a week) that will be called INDIA EATS THE WORLD. I imagine this as a YT playlist. I am thinking of either calling the channel and my handle India Witkin OR I am thinking of changing the name of my channel and handle to My Name is India. Alternatively I can have my handle be @mynameisindia and keep the branding to just my name across. I am not a huge fan of my last name and constantly hear how confusing my name is to people ("wait india is your name??"). I know I need to center my name. What do people think!?

Hi all! Looking for a talented and affordable video editor for my YT channel who can also do social videos. Ideally someone abroad as I can't afford anyone in the USA... Save me from this hell of video editing PLEASE.

Hi all! New creator here! My name is India Witkin. I'm a born and raised New Yorker (yes, that is the totality of my personality - because, duh), I am obsessed with food, travel and history and I am starting a Youtube channel! I'm very new to YT, but I have a background in film, tv, video and podcasting. I work in the media industry as a producer/production coordinator and had a podcast series called "Eating America with India" from 2020-2021. The series was me exploring different immigrant diasporas around the U.S. through the lens of food. I am now LAUNCHING it as a video series called "India Eats the World". The first season is the America's and the second season will be around Asia. She's a global girlie!!! Very excited to be here and trying my best to power through video editing and scripting and strategizing but it's all difficult when I'm juggling a 9-5p. I'm looking forward to connecting with my fellow Grindstoners and getting inspired to do that damn thang! Sharing my Current / Dream state!
