While the details of how you found your way to this big, blue space are all different, the end result has often been the same: You discovered people who liked what you liked. You unearthed interests you never knew you had. You found your community.
Everyone has their own Tumblr story. We wanted to share some of these community stories in our new series, Explore What You Love. Each one tells the story of a different Tumblr journey.
- Adam J. Kurtz (@adamjk), who built his career in art on Tumblr.
- Sabrina Rodriguez (@sabrinarguez), who uses Tumblr to connect with sci-fi fans all over the world with her incredible cosplay and comics.
- Marissa Rei (@marsincharge) and nukirk (@nukirk), who founded #TheBlackout (@theblackoutofficial), a powerful movement dedicated to (re)defining Blackness. It took the internet by storm.
- Maxwell Vice Tong (@maxwellvice), who didn’t just find his career path on Tumblr—he found himself within the welcoming fashion, art, and the LGBTQIA+ communities.
- Lexy Legassie (@harryfeaturingshawn), whose passion for bands like One Direction and 5 Seconds of Summer gained her beautiful new friendships.
