By now you've probably heard the news: Netflix is trying to buy Warner Brothers.
Politicians are fighting it. Unions are up in arms. Hollywood is spiraling.
And it's not just Netflix. Paramount is in the middle of a hostile takeover battle. The entire industry is consolidating, fewer buyers, tighter gates, more executives fighting over fewer chairs at the table.
The old Hollywood is literally reshaping itself right now.
And yeah, these mergers could mean a tighter marketplace for a minute.
But here's what I need you to understand:
This is not your cue to panic.
This is your cue to CREATE.
Because while the big players rearrange the chess board, something incredible has been happening quietly in the background:
You have more direct access to your audience than any creator in history.
The studios may merge, but your voice? Still yours.
Your platform? Still growing.
Your ability to tell stories and build community? Completely unchanged.
The power shift isn't happening at the executive level.
It's happening with creators like you who refuse to wait for permission.
So while everyone else is doomscrolling and catastrophizing, I want you to do something radical:
Go make something.
Write the script. Shoot the reel. Build the portfolio that shows what you can do.
Because no merger, no studio deal, no industry headline controls your creativity.
Only you do.
And that's always been true, we're just finally living in an era where you can actually do something with that power.
Keep creating,
Nicki Micheaux
