30 January 2021 (WASHINGTON) —
Social Media was the best blessing during the pandemic. It allowed us to stay
connected to our families; but most importantly, providing a fun distraction
from “the real world” of chaos surrounding us. Creating content, whether
professional or “just for kicks,” provided a mental escape, distraction and
break from the daunting darkness looming from Covid-19. Adversely, the need for
access grew… as social media users began to, unknowingly, transform their own
homes into content creation studios and instagrammable spaces. Internet
connection, eye-catching backgrounds, and even appropriate lighting quickly
increased in demand; leaving those lacking creativity or resources in the
background. Three, DMV Creative-and-Music Artists, Matthew “NLA Diggy” Diggs,
Dauvignon “NLA Dauv” Baylor and Davonne Phillip meshed their industry
experience, business knowhow, and pulse on trends within pop culture to open a
Covid-Safe space for the community. Stay Social USA is convenient, contactless
and opens February 1 at Arundel Mills.
Teaming up with BET Producer
Chris Bivins, and Visual Artist Jennifer Leaman to put their artistic direction
in motion, each of the three artists, now owners, quickly liquidated all assets
to conform to the times. Bivins says, “Stay Social is exactly what we needed as
content creators to easily express our creativity safely and conveniently. I’m
extremely excited to see what is created in our space. We might just be the
back drop for the next major batch of social media influencers.”
Open to the public at Simon Malls’ Arundel Mills location, at 2 p.m.
on February 1, Stay Social USA is the hub for all ages to develop and capture
their own photos and videos for Tik Tok, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat,
Instagram and more. No ring light? No problem. No wi-fi? No problem. With
interactive and eye-catching, artistic installations as your backdrop and our
technically trained concierge to assist, each Stay Social user commands their
own stage that Diggs says “feels effortlessly safe” at $20 per half hour.
Stay Social is the solution. Diggs says, “As a creative myself, I have
found it difficult in this current pandemic to find safe, available and
cost-effective means of creating my content. I only imagined what some of my
(younger) peers might have been feeling as well. We created Stay Social to
solve that problem.” He continues, “Bring your friends, family, a date, or just
yourself and your smartphone, and unleash your inner creator.”
