Does anyone else feel overwhelmed lately?

With AI technology racing ahead, and the constant information overload we are living through, it seems like the world is changing faster than any of us can really process.

Here at The Skin Deep, we’ve been thinking a lot about how technology is reshaping our conversations, our relationships, and even how we see ourselves.

But instead of just talking about it in our own bubble, we want to hear from you, our community.

We’re working on a new video series exploring these shifts, and we’d love to include your voice. Your thoughts. Your honest reflections.

Here are 5 questions we are exploring. We would love to hear your answers!

What’s a question that you think is impossible for AI to answer?
In a world that is increasingly focused on digital interaction, what makes you feel most human? Can you imagine a moment? What were you doing? How did you feel?
If you could ask everyone on Earth to answer one question truthfully, what would it be?
What do you think is the value that The Skin Deep offers and why do you feel that's important right now?
How would you like to see The Skin Deep meet this moment of today’s challenges?

If any of those questions speak to you, we’d love for you to share your response with us in a short video. Answer one question or all five, totally up to you.

How to record:

Use your phone and film vertically
Frame yourself in the center
Hit record, wait 5 seconds, then start speaking
Begin with your first name and what city you’re in
Record a separate video for each question you answer
Be yourself: no need to be polished. We love the pauses, the reflection, the realness.

When you’re ready, just upload your videos through this form here. If we use your video we’ll be in touch to share a gift too. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us via email.

We can’t wait to hear what’s on your mind. Thanks so much for being part of this with us.

How Animation Taught Me to Be Human: One of the Most Powerful Forms of Storytelling

Animation is not just for kids, it’s one of the most powerful ways to tell a story. From Studio Ghibli to Attack on Titan, these worlds have shaped how I love, heal, and see humanity. This is an ode to the lessons I’ve learned and an invitation to feel them too.

The Ethics of Care: What Does It Mean to Truly Be With Someone?

We are living in a culture obsessed with fixing, solving, and advising. What if the most powerful form of care is simply being with someone?

When You Don't Know Which Way is Up

Here's what I’ve learned: when everything speeds up, slow down. When things get loud, quiet your mind. When you're flooded with conflicting signals—don’t react, root. Don’t reach for certainty—return to presence.

The Power of Witnessing: What {THE AND} Taught Me About Love, Empathy, and the Lives I Never Lived
