Mwihoko Prince and renowned digital content creator Henry Desagu recently shared the reasons behind his decision to take a break from content creation, particularly on his social media platforms.
Desagu explained that he chose to step back and observe the industry because he sees himself as a leading content creator. He wanted to take some time off to watch trends, relax, and rebrand to align with the evolving landscape of content creation.
“When you’re at the top, you take a break. After six years, sometimes you need to refresh your ideas and see how the industry is evolving. With TikTok’s emergence, everyone is creating content, so you need to rebrand yourself,” Desagu stated.
He highlighted the significance of self-care and how this break is crucial for him to recharge and reconnect with his passion for comedy. The main goal of content creation is to make money, and if taking a step back helps him reset and achieve that, then it’s a necessary move.
“When you’ve been doing something for six years or a long time, you need to sit down, reflect, and assess if your strategies are working. What else can I do to monetize my content effectively?” Desagu explained.
What Desagu Has Been Working On
Despite his hiatus from regular content creation, Desagu assured his fans that this break is not a permanent farewell. He has been collaborating with various brands that require his full attention, which is why his personal content has taken a back seat.
“There are other projects… when you work with an artist, you get introduced to new things. I’ve been working with NGOs like Save a Life and Partners. We also provide wheelchairs and I do digital marketing and consultancy. I can’t keep doing the same thing; I need to create content that can reach a wider audience, not just in Swahili,” Desagu elaborated.
In a world where the pressure to maintain a constant online presence is immense, Desagu’s decision highlights the importance of self-care and the necessity of taking breaks. His candidness about his struggles will likely resonate with many who face similar challenges in their own lives.
