‘I highly recommend that every influencer do this, as most people on Instagram take it too seriously and are focused so much on their appearance.
‘I want my audience to feel like if I can do it, then they can too. I want to motivate them to be the best version of themselves, but also remind them that, in the end, we are all the same.’
