Inclusive Media Initiative Creator Q&A: Miss Ibarra

Pixability’s Inclusive Media Initiative is our mission to support diverse creators and communities on YouTube.

YouTube has historically been a fabulous place to get gift ideas, general inspiration and DIY content. We had the pleasure of interviewing @MissIbarrasWorldArt, one of our fabulous Inclusive Media Initiative Creators who was formerly an elementary school teacher but who now teaches art to all ages on her YouTube Channel. She deploys a bilingual content strategy across her content both long and short form.
