TLDL: - I love AMC nachos - You don't need a $4000 Mac to edit. Just buy a $50 hard drive and stay frugal when starting your channel. Look how far I've come without all the bells and whistles! - I'm grappling with moving to LA or NYC to stay "connected" and "relevant" but I like pursuing a career in a normal place. It's wholesome and I feel 0 pressure to be anyone I'm not. - The tea was hot in 2020 and I'm not afraid to speak my mind. - I remember to water my plants nowadays

[@TitusBogba]

Yess those Nachos are life but one time the cashier only give me 1 cheese.. me: girl stopped playing with me 🤣🤣🤣

Im totally with you except the latter....I cannot and will not speak my actual mind because I may never get pushed by the algo gods like you did lol 😭😭😭

[@crwii]

To your 3rd point, I’d say both of your concerns are valid. I am currently trying to grow my channel from Virginia Beach (where i work as a naval officer) so i often feel as though I’m not connected with other creators because no one is out here 😂 So my question to you is: how do you overcome not being connected while living in a normal area when starting a channel? Thank you for your time. -Ced

Kelly I was literally JUST re-watching your 'you need to start a youtube channel" video, reminiscing about the time when I first saw it. i didn't have a channel at the time but now I do. I have 160k subs now and if it weren't for you I don't think I would have started when i did or blew up as fast. I cant believe how much youtube has changed my life. thank you.

[@ilostmyjacket3997]

Heyy Madisyn, I love your videos!! I found your channel when you had 15k and I was sooo happy to see you reached 100k recently! It's crazy you're at 160k now!! You deserve it girl!!

[@KellyStamps]

Wow! I will for sure check your channel out. It’s amazing seeing the rapid growth. I still remember the days when I was excited to get 1000 views on a video.

[@delmundl]

[@LatashaBrown]

Wowww this gives me hope. Congratulations on both of your successes

[@ChloeCara]

Omg your growth is SO inspiring!! Love that Kelly played a role in your success too 😍

[@no.reply_]

Kelly, I just wanted to say that you didn't need to put a black square to make a difference, It's amazing seeing a 'quirky' blk girl living her life because as a blk woman the only content that is expected is politics, social issues, and trauma. Keep being who you are

[@KellyStamps]

You nailed my thoughts

[@acivilright]

100% agree. Also every view you have doesn't always have to be public. I love horror movies and dramas, but I also like comedies. This channel is like my comedy. And also, people who are all Veruca Salt about success you're having need to take a few deep breaths. There are many folks in the world that try everyday and may never see material manifestations of success. But occasionally, you do. The Veruca Saltism is just immaturity.

[@sw-hg8eq]

Off, so true!

[@velvetstorm4563]

Thank you! I just love seeing other black women live their life how they want to, without every aspect of their life revolving around politics activism/protest.

[@candylove49]

AMEN! It feels good to see a carefree, funny young black girl. Not everything has to be about drama, stress and twerking. Blk people are not a monolith!

[@Wetesk53]

Please don't ever let anyone guilt trip you into speaking on political issues, there are already more than enough black youtubers handling that and honestly it's tiring and played out at this point. I've had to block a few content creators just for my own peace of mind. Living your best life is more motivating and comforting than anything/anyone else I'm subscribed to right now.

[@1ditl]

Trueee!!! I couldn't have said it better 😩.

[@fendybendy6466]

yeah, i think that we should talk about the things that we find important, but there are so many that do that type of content, and then they will often overlap in topics (often according to what's popular on instagram or twitter to talk abt lol) that it's like they r just regurgitating the same stuff... it feels less like a deep discussion after a bit

[@caitlintaylor5406]

Right, just seeing people be humans is nice

[@zaink.7243]

I get that it can be overwhelming (I 100% believe that all Black people don't have to speak on issues ALL the time & we shouldn't be guilt tripped into doing so. we're already experiencing/living it.) BUT speaking on those issues will never be "played out". Black people speaking up is how we're able to - & have the rights/freedoms to - live the lives we want. like, for example, how Kelly(& other Black ppl/poc) have *access* to traveling/living in all these places w/o being in too much fear for their lives. (even our past activists & revolutionaries have emphasized how joy & rest are important & how Black people, especially Black women, living their best life, how they want, is an important/significant act in & of itself. not everyone is the same. some speak up all the time & some less but it will never be played out.)

Regarding your poll at the end of the video: I don't live in the US and don't ever plan on it, so I don't care much about LA and NYC or whatever. I find a lot of that content is about spending tons of money on bougie stuff no one needs. (not that yours was ever like this, but I just mean you're hella interesting wherever you are so it doesn't matter to me)The content I find most inspiring and enjoyable are videos from creators that are BALANCED. As in, yes show me the aspirational dream girl I strive to become, but also talk openly about your struggles, mental health, and especially the journey of how you got where you are. I like to learn and be entertained and feel a little jealous of your lifestyle all in one. Whether it's about doing KZbin full time, or someone who also has a day job, that's what I enjoy the most, is stuff that inspires and educates me.

Kelly is so right about her doing more for the black community by just existing and being herself. being radically thyself is the greatest protest. side note shes really helping the black YT community, that place is just soo.. have you seen it? its ridic.

[@JulianSteve]

The last two sentences of yours is out of place, but I get your point of view. Not all Black KZbinrs are “ridic”. There are a lot of Black KZbinrs making amazing content, especially the smaller creators. We are not push as much in the algorithm (and must improve on things relating to growing on KZbin)💯

[@kelechiii_]

@@kelechiii_ whether she’s black or not doesn’t really make a difference because she’s right. I never subscribed to Kelly because she’s black, but rather because her videos are entertaining, relatable, and her sense of humor is appealing. Her account doesn’t always go back to the fact that she’s black and acting like a perpetual victim 24/7 like most black youtubers or complaining about the opposite gender (which is all that the black KZbin community has become).

[@jill8980]

@@kelechiii_ didn't know people needed to show their black card for a nonffensive or non controversial option. Jeez Respesentation in media is enough, there were hardly any large black creators back when I was a kid. Even Vine Era it's was King Bac and others basically being a minstrel for clout and AAVE being used by non AAP solely to be funny or edgy. Being yourself having thay representation is enough. There shouldn't be some pressure to condom or to what anyone think a black person should be. Black card can't be revoked and we should just let a person just *exist*

[@theater1014]

For the poll, I think you should do what makes you happy, a city doesn’t make a good content creator, there’s so many content creators who live in nyc & la but you are so much bigger than them & more entertaining. This is just an idea, if you do want to move back to nyc, you could live in New Jersey and do aviation school there and occasionally visit nyc. Plus you’d have the best of both world, cheaper living (than nyc) in New Jersey and seeing your pilot journey & content creator stuff in nyc.

[@KellyStamps]

Great advice!

[@al5603]

@@KellyStamps ATP has two schools in Jersey. One is at the Trenton airport which is about an hour from the city, but only about 10 minutes away from Princeton University which is the #1 ranked school in the country ahead of Harvard and Yale. And there's another one at the Morristown airport that's only about a half hour away from the city. Jersey makes the most sense. You have beautiful suburbs, flight schools, lower mortgages/rents and the city close by. Looking at the N.Y. skyline at night from Jersey is spectacular!

I love watching the evolution of your channel. You have exploded in growth while dealing with the loss of your dad and grandma, so it's a testament to your persistence and committed dedication to move forward in your life and enjoy and savor the harvest of what you have sown for yourself, even when it's bittersweet. To answer your poll, visit NYC, Boston, LA and such a few times a year for a boost to your creative umph and easy vlogging content. You already enjoy traveling, so you can see it as a chance to get your Eataly fix. Depending on travel restrictions, you can start planning to travel to Europe (Paris, Rome, London, Berlin, Amsterdam, etc.) and Japan (Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Sapporo, Fukuoka, etc.) and even Australia (Sydney, Melbourne, Gold Coast, Hobart for a visit to Tasmania, etc.). It would be amazing to watch your travel vlogs from there as you imbue them with your storytelling. Videos visiting your family members across the US may also do well.

I’m still amazed at how I usually end up watching each of Kelly’s video in its entirety! Congrats for setting trends young lady.

[@lizzy3690]

You’re one of the first youtubers I started watching consistently, mostly because of how independent you are and how different your style of content is from a lot of other people!!! I’m personally more interested in creators who live literally anywhere other than LA & NYC (although I see the draw) because they seem to over saturate youtube and other platforms. I will watch you wherever you live though!!!! ❤️

[@mo_nicole]

I’m not an aviation person and I THOROUGHLY enjoyed that little excerpt you did. I’m terrified of flying so watching and listening to you talk about it helps, somehow?

[@swamp-onion]

Kelly! I’m not sure if you’ll see this comment but one thing that came across very strongly to me as a viewer is your ability to trust your intuition and do things your way. I think it’s amazing how many people are coming into your life as you and your channel grow, and with that I can imagine how much advice, opinions, etc. is coming your way, too. If there’s *anyone* who could figure out how to get New York views being in Florida or even from the side of the road in the middle of nowhere or in sandbox, it is *you* ! Or whatever it is you’re trying to do, you’re so creative and you will find a way. Keep going and trusting yourself and following what feels true to you.

✨ This growth mindset is all I want in 2021 and for the future ✨ Thank you Kelly!

[@RosaDaniello]

I watch your videos because I like you as a creator and as a person. It's true that more "appealing" cities attract more viewers but as long as you can find balance in the type of content you're making I think you'll be making the right choices for how you want your life to be and which direction to take (both metaphorically and literally lol). You're doing great so keep going! Btw, Another tip if your pc is lagging when you're editing is converting your files into proxy (BEFORE starting editing): it will run faster because proxy files are less heavy and once you're done with your editing you can just save your video with the resolution you want. (btw proxy files are not exclusive to final cut pro x, it's also premiere and I believe every other editing software)

[@thandisilec835]

[@catherinermoy1408]

The channels that I always come back to are usually the ones that are creators that have jobs outside of being content creators, but sometimes it gets boring when all of their content is centered around their job. I have never been able to hop onto the more gimmicky NYC and LA creator train for any sustained amount of time because it sometimes just feels like watching zoo animals. However, I like that as a full-time content creator you have more flexibility to provide us with a lot of spontaneity in your content. This channel and Micarah Tewers' channel are some of my favorites because y'all are able to be entertaining in whatever environment y'all are in, but you do sometimes take us along on field trips. I hope that there is a niche for content creators that live more practically on a day-to-day basis but still enjoy mixing things up now and again.

[@MissGoobiCh]

Kelly! I just wanted to say thank you. It's nice to see you grow this much in over a year. Your content was a huge comfort and motivation to me. I think you impressed...inception-ized??? the idea of starting a KZbin channel to me, I'm so glad I clicked that video of yours when KZbin slid it on my recommendations. I may not be the usual content creator with vlogs and stuff since I ended up with a different niche to focus on, but I really held on to your lessons at Stamp University. This vlog just made me even more excited. I didn't know how fun it is -- but also a tad stressful -- to build up the channel, create assets, think up of ideas on what to do next etc. I'm really enjoying myself, and rediscovering some things I thought I no longer enjoy. It's really nice. Thank you and as for the poll, I'm all for taking it easy. I think seeing you become a pilot will be more interesting, and in that regard location won't matter as much. But for answering sake, I prefer the latter option.

[@itschandelen]

You’re doing a fabulous job, Kelly. I do want see creators in an area that’s not in NYC , LA or even my city, Atlanta. It feels relatable and makes taking the leap into the KZbin space more attainable. Everyone shouldn’t have to be in their 20s and living in a popular city for their channels to do well. More balance would be great to see.

[@KellyStamps]

Good points!

[@FoodFiend]

In regards to your poll, I think you have an advantage being somewhere different. You're close to Miami which also has a "scene" or things to do. You just got to go out and find it. I think it would be interesting to see more of the city, the restaurants or nightlife. Film the same things you did in NY and Boston but where you're at now. A balance of filming more of your new city *with* the same content you're doing now in your apartment would set you apart from those cliche NYC and LA vloggers. As always I appreciate your content and humor, whatever path you choose to take.

I’m a Harlemnite. Born and Raised in Harlem, NY and living in NYC. That’s what my content is based around. My weekly vlogs highlight my experiences in Harlem, The Black Owned businesses I frequent and the things my friends and I do being from New York. I started my channel because of Kelly and ALSO because I was tired of watching people show one side of New York…there’s so much more to my city that nobody is talking about

[@amirah2369]

You get interrogated by angry, directionless people (who really don't have much to be angry about, imo) to be a social justice warrior, but instead you choose to be YOURSELF which at the end of the day is way more valuable and, frankly, commendable. So many people, myself included, are just happy to find someone who is relatable, entertaining and unrelenting in their unique pursuits. I'm so glad you refuse to let people put you in a box. You're doing the kind of work that has a greater impact, in the black community especially, and hopefully forces people to step out the echo chamber and into reality. You truly are a gem.

[@stylisticfuture]

Hi Kelly Stamps 👋🏽! To answer your question: I’m not tired of seeing creators based in LA or NYC per-say, but it does get old. I do love the fact that you showcase the “unconventional” cities. To me, it shows there’s more to life than LA and NY(this coming from someone from LA and who has worked in NY). There’s beauty and uniqueness everywhere, you just have to go and explore - and I feel like some of your videos advocate for that! So I am down to see you in any city. Love your channel btw ☺️ looking forward to your En Route collab!

I would honestly watch your content wherever you filmed/lived, for me its more about you as an entertainer/philosopher. That being said, I currently live in NYC and have lived in most of the "hot" cities in America so its cool to see you vlog in other places that aren't on the radar.( ND and BAMA were personal faves) I also enjoy the NYC content cause i like to see how other people in NYC experience living here. There are literally millions of different worlds in NYC, its wild. Plus, i can luck up and find a new club/restaurant that i haven't been to.

[@ejerikahunter0105]

I guess you could say I like both? It’s is more relatable to see people with “real” jobs lives. Because there are more people who go to a job or have a “real” job than there are creators and that’s more relatable. However, I do like seeing the LA/NYC style vlogs more so for entertainment and just seeing what it’s like to be comfortable and have a great life. Hope this all made sense.

damn girl get that pilot’s license!! my whole family is in the airlines and so this chat felt like i suddenly got a cute quirky sister (but girl calm down i’m the icon in my family, not sure if we can share the spotlight)

[@NallahBrown]

Love this comment 😂

[@theaubreysmalls]

This comment 🥺

[@theaubreysmalls]

I personally don’t relate to the airline bits in Kelly’s videos but I love knowing that there’s a whole aviation community out there perking up their ears at Kelly’s pilot talks. It’s really cool to see different communities intertwined.

[@SashaRaquel]

@@theaubreysmalls totally agree! and like kelly said, I love getting to see youtubers go after other career paths or hobbies! its so interesting!

Shout out from Stuart FL Kelly♡ re: the poll, yours is the only channel that I have watched every video since I 1st watched.. trying to put my finger on why I so enjoy your videos.. I just do🤷🏽‍♀️.. I'll comment again if it comes to me.. don't care if you make videos in/about major cities.. not particularly fond of big city folk. I do however love that you have NOT used your channel to take a stand. So refreshing. Those of us who understand energy and law of attraction especially appreciate this. People are where they are. Keep being you and do what works for you. I'll continue enjoying your content no matter where you live or visit.

[@Laateedoe]

You had me at "full time meme". Watching till the end.

[@melissario6096]

It’s not your responsibility to remain relatable lol keep getting to the coin and shine on.

[@lauradoesart]

I like seeing you in different places because I love travel content. As someone who's lived in Florida for some time it's not surprising that views are low there, it's a slower paced lifestyle. I live in London now, and I get super motivated when I travel to Central London (it's the NYC of Europe) but I live in a quieter, kind of posh Borough where it's not as condensed but still super interesting. Maybe that's something to think about, living in an area that isn't overwhelming but still close to a place that motivates you.

[@kate-ne]

I hope you move to wherever you're happiest but I also want to say that I really appreciate you living in more low key places! To me, that content is more relatable. Aka me just chilling in the Midwest fo lyfe ✌🏼

[@StainlessladySparkle]

To whosoever reading this,Even tho I don’t know You,May God open financial doors for you Amen 🙏

[@EpicKate]

I really appreciate the honesty of the doubts about not knowing how things will turn out. Thank you for showing us the real parts of it. I have been hit hard with doubts lately and it's cathartic to hear someone as successful as you sharing this.

[@KellyStamps]

You’re welcome!!

[@tali.galaxy]

Speaking completely selfishly, as a south Floridian who is so bored here, I enjoy watching you make the most out of Florida and seeing things through fresh eyes. But I also really enjoy the travel videos esp to NYC since I grew up there. What I'm most looking forward to is the overseas travels you keep hinting to, so if you laying low and living in FL to pursue aviation will help you bring some bomb lavish overseas South Korea/Japan travel videos down the line I'm hype for that!! A good middle ground is the NJ sentiment I'm seeing in the comments, even though driving in NJ is pretty inSANE lol. But they got trains into NY so you should be gud.

[@tadi_unlimited]

I really love the growth you have managed to achieve and I love that you keep on growing .I love the consistency that you have and Iam veryambitious so seeing you achieve your financial independence and still pursuing your aviation studies is beautiful.I look up to you man .I am currently working on my degree and my self esteem.( I just remembered how awesome Stamps university is💕with the serious tone and spatula😄😄😄❤).I can't wait to independent . In the mean time during my study breaks I can live my fantasy through your channel .With school it's kinda hard to catch every new video as it comes but trust and believe I will binge watch all of them.Thank you for thr long video I really couldn't believe how it just kept on going ❤❤❤

[@Ojuolape]

As per the poll, I love watching creators with normal jobs mix in their creative lives (like myself).

[@mariapianapolitanodemajo1285]

For the poll: I just like you, don't care where you are or what you're doing for a living!

[@lifewithjessenia]

ugh another amazing video!! Honestly for me, i love all of the videos that you do. I admire you lifestyle, the fun in NYC, the funny entertainment in Florida. I love it all. You have an amazing way of putting humor into all if your videos and thats why i keep coming. You can move to Alaska, and ill STILL watch every video into full length.

[@anaze9417]

Still trying to get my channel off the ground, but I just keep watching all of your advice videos, taking notes and looking towards the future with patience. You taught me that this dream is achievable with hard work and strategy and i love you for it. Just know I’m always here if you need someone to talk to bc you helped me to grow so much as a person, I think I owe you my life 💖💖💖

[@MuseoftheGarden]

She got me with the “I see the cups in the corner of your room”😆😂

[@xcherrykinsx]

yes yes yes, you truly do so much by just being black and successfully being publicly yourself. every day you're inspiring other black people to start channels, pursue their dreams, and just generally thrive and that is so important.

[@roxxane92]

Regardless of what u post imma watch it every time. I just like the fact that im watching someone do whatever it may be that makes them happy! It gives me motivation knowing that as long as i do what i want i can do anything 😌

[@frostyausty7902]

I’ll watch you wherever you go and still be entertained. I can’t lie and say I don’t prefer the NYC videos but I think it’s because of how much we romanticized New York and LA also how much there is packed into those cities that we flock to content in those areas. I say it’s possible to be normal in those areas and I can honestly see you doing something like screenwriting or acting, if you full send I know you’ll go far!Hope you follow your heart!

[@alinedafonseca8854]

I live in NYC and I don't need to see anymore of it - I fully enjoy watching youtubers live normal lives because I'm trying to get out of here soon. But I will say, sometimes the Florida videos because you seem to want to preserve your privacy, maybe aren't as "exciting" as when you head out into other spaces. But I'll keep watching - cause I love the glow up. =)

[@michellenakayama36]

We need a storyline : Will Kelly get her nachos ? That’s what the audience wants to know 😆😆😆

[@nope10.4]

Looking back at this and realising dang, how far I have progressed in the Stampede University 😅. This is the first Stamp that Professor Stamps put on my record as it was my first video by her that I watched. Although I’ve only posted like 11 videos, I’m ever grateful for the vlogs you’ve posted to help us all grow as human beings and creators.

[@missymu333]

"A week in my life as a full-time meme." I felt that

[@tamirajohnelle4700]

Lmao you got that Beyoncé intro down-packed! That breathing🤣🤣

[@imsoyancy]

I love your NYC vlogs! But whatever makes you the happiest, I'll watch regardless.

[@karmen1265]

*names Russian figure skaters* "That's who I am internally, but on the outside, I'm just a potato." If Kelly is a potato, then I'm an ogre. I said what I said

[@doompii]

Your comment about chasing change made me want to share the idea of visiting Montana amongst your many travels one day! I mean, as a resident I may be biased :p but it truly is different from the majority of the states and the cities especially. Take a hike in beautiful Glacier Park, ride a horse, fly in a hot air balloon, give your thoughts on the complete 180 in scenery :0

[@SlowMorningDiaries]

People really forget that there's not just one way to be an activist! For your poll: I don't have a preference on where a creator is from! As long as you're doing you, I'm sticking around 🤎

[@pamford3285]

Love the variety of your videos and the honesty!! Keep up the good work 😊

[@chaos862]

I love to see you smile in videos. There, I said it. A happy Stamp makes me (us, I'm assuming) ...happy. And this used old envelope can't wait to see you blow through 1Mv - keep up the great work!
