Matilda is a content creator on TikTok (@mechthild), YouTube (@mechthildistnichtmeinname), and Instagram (@matildajltt). At first, her main focus was on German rap lyric analyses in a “German class” style, but by now her content also includes pop culture, feminism, politics, and disability. The latter is something deeply personal to her, as Matilda was born with a hand malformation. This is why the (media) representation of people with disabilities is one of her heartfelt causes.
When Matilda isn’t in front of the camera, she enjoys being behind it – as a director or the creative mind behind a concept. In her current project, A Knack for Representation, she reimagined iconic film scenes – but this time with inclusive casting. Through her in-depth and well-crafted music analyses on YouTube, she has quickly made a name for herself in the music scene. She is especially passionate about discovering and showcasing new and emerging FLINTA* artists. She does this also with her video podcast „Feature mit Matilda“.
