Four to Follow: Full Groan Adult Edition
- /
Charlotte is home to thousands of Instagram accounts from Charlotte creatives sharing their work and their thoughts about the Queen City community. Many of them deserve more love and your attention. But, where do you start? Who do you follow? No worries. We’ve got you covered.
Each week, one of our guest experts will share four local Instagram accounts they think are worth your follows and likes — accounts they feel offer a compassionate, funny, inspiring or insightful eye on Charlotte.
This week, our Insta-Picker is Rebecca Henderson — copywriter, designer, actress, creative interventionalist and social sculptor. Rebecca will be the featured speaker at CreativeMornings/Charlotte tomorrow, but she’s been exploring the Queen City her entire life (that’s right … there ARE people who’ve been born and raised here), so she’s uniquely suited to be our social media sherpa today.
Here are her picks.
Dustin Harbin – @dharbin
“As someone who enjoys Good Things, having a glimpse into the mind of illustrator and masterful storyteller Dustin Harbin of is one of my tippy top treats in Instaland. Plus, getting regular updates about his very small charming dog Beans is truly icing on the cake.” – Rebecca Henderson

Hnin Nie – @hninstagram
“Honestly, if I had the money to have Hnin Nie fully customize every morsel of my life from socks to bookshelves to the insides of my eyelids, I think life would be made drastically better. For now, I will just have to be patient as she tenderly weaves her vivid, strange world into ours.” – Rebecca Henderson

Alesa Moore – @alesam6
“From her acapella covers to beat boxing accompaniments, I never fail to look forward to Alesa Moore’s enchanting vocal releases. Thankfully for us all, she has chosen to use her siren powers for good, rather than point our ships towards the rocky shore. I expect big things await her.” – Rebecca Henderso (NOTE: The post below was reposted by @maggierogers and liked over 133,000 times as of today.)

And … a TWIST ENDING …
Rebecca Henderson – @fullgroanadult
“HAHAHAH … Whoops! Me! Listen I gotta shoot my shot here. In the infamous words of Rabbit as portrayed but Marshall Bruce Mathers III in 8 Mile, ‘this opportunity comes once in a lifetime.’ I am a middle child, therefore my need for attention is like a black hole impossible to fill. Follow me! You may regret it, but I probably won’t!!!” – Rebecca Henderson
