What influences you?
Fashion. Definitely being different, being authentic, and being a catalyst. Doing things differently to show people its ok to be different.
Most overrated?
The most overrated thing right now is this new wave of “influencers” popping up. Being an influencer is not just about having 100K followers on Instagram and receiving free shit. It’s about taking the influence you have over your following and being your most authentic self and using that influence to help others see the best in themselves. This buzzword “influencer” has the game so messed up that now it’s not even as respected as it was when influencer marketing first became a thing. Because of this, I don’t like to claim I’m an influencer. Yes, I work with brands, but I do more than just receive free product and post online. I operate as a voice for those who can’t be heard or don’t have the will to tell their story and I motivate individuals who were just like me, who couldn’t speak up for themselves.
Most underrated?
The answer could be anything… Believing in yourself is underrated. Truly being yourself and authentic is underrated.
What are you most excited about, right now?
Taking my business to the next level and setting up my own personal brand. I’m able to work with my best friend and partner. I have lots of stuff coming out next year that I’m excited about.
What’s next for you?
Traveling more. Doing a lot more work and consultations. Speaking on a lot more panels about how I became an entrepreneur and full-time blogger.
Bonus Question: Was that 5?
Like a drop of No. 5 and nothing else.
