What are Moments?

Moments are how to share messages, photos, and/or videos directly with your fans and the Cohart community. By posting Moment, you have the opportunity to shape your story, craft a narrative about your perspective, and showcase your works. These Moments will be showcased on the Cohart feed, enabling wider visibility, and on your personal profile, ensuring that you can connect with your fans and followers!
