"It's An Asset" with Fran Meneses

Guts N' Glory

Today we’re sitting down with Illustrator and Youtuber, Fran Meneses. Our sensitivities and doubts are unrelenting in their claim for our thoughts and time, Fran, during which, acknowledges this all openly. Finding a place on Youtube, her content touches on the varying degrees of being an artist and general human being simply finding their way in the world. And yes, there are sketchbook tours and stationery hauls and PENS - what more could one ask for!? Whether you’re watching Fran’s videos, or snuggled in bed with her *ehem* latest graphic novel “About To Leave”, they’re all expressions of someone who’s gone after their dreams, who invites you to do the same, and who’s created a space in which we might not feel so alone in doing so. We talk about how having a prominent online following puts you in the position of being a “role model”, and how this goes hand-in-hand with the imposter syndrome of being self-made.
