“These poems have a relentless pace and cadence that leave me breathless every time. The work pulses with a defiant beat that grants no quarter – neither for the false opiate that is social media, nor Miz himself.” – Entrepreneur & UX Expert, Emma Jackson
It’s 2018 and the long list of negative side effects as a result of unbalanced and irresponsible social media usage is growing, pinpointing it as a negative contributor to depression, stress, self-esteem, sleep, relationships, addiction and anxiety.
“Too much staring at a cube
Googling capillary tube
Reading up on pointless news
Missing out on verbal cues…”
Fading, Social Media: Socially Mediocre by Misael Trujillo
Social Media: Socially Mediocre dissects the emotions, memories and experiences that modern society deals with daily whilst living our lives online; but, maybe more importantly, it starts a conversation that everyone should be having.
With over 10 years experience in the creative, events and social media industries as a freelancer and running his own businesses, Misael Trujillo approaches the topic with insider knowledge, intelligence and the rebellious nature that he’s honed after a lifetime fronting, playing, promoting, writing and touring with alternative rock bands. Misael’s multi-hyphen career approach also covers regular creativity as a writer, DJ, public speaker, photographer and videographer.
Alongside the self-published poetry book; which is available to buy via Amazon from 1st June 2018, Misael is also creating a series of YouTube videos, audio books and live performances which will complement the book’s content and make it accessible to all. This will be the first in a series of poetry books that looks to discuss and analyse sensitive topics that impact our modern lives from an honest and critical point of view. Special thanks goes to entrepreneur and UX expert, Emma Jackson for writing a beautiful foreword to the book.
Misael Trujillo is also co-founder and creator at KITSCH.inc, Food Scouts and frontman of alternative punk rock band @LarkhillUK. You can follow him on Instagram @MizTrujillo and on Twitter at @Miz_Trujillo to keep up to date with his creative work.
