So I started when I was 18 years old, so I was like very, very like young, like, I just, I always like to take pictures. Like, even when I was in high school, I was known for being a very promising like, like some would say, a set, but no, no, no, no, no, it's very.

If you want photos in the photos see photos like see it, you know, like you're not so yeah, I just, I don't know, I turned 18 and I was around a lot of girls who, like, were already doing it.
00;02;39;04 - 00;02;56;11 Unknown Like, I made friends with girls who were a lot older than me and fans when I was 18. I think it was like starting out ish because I was 18, like after Covid. Okay, because I'm still very young now. So yeah, I kind of just went into it. I was like, okay, I have like 20,000 followers on Instagram or something.
00;02;56;11 - 00;03;13;19 Unknown And I was like, okay, like I have a little something going on already. So I opened it and then I saw the money that I made from it, and I was like, there's no way. Like I woke up the next day and like one day after having my fans and I checked like, and I put the link on my Instagram and I looked at my account and I was like, there's no way.
00;03;13;20 - 00;03;30;15 Unknown It was instant. It was. It was insane. It was a lot like for me. It was a lot. I think my first month was like 16,000 or something like, like for me, it was just like, like that type of money was like, what the. Yeah. Like I was 18 years old. That's wild. That's such that kind money. Yeah.

So you're very confident, like, on your pictures, on your reels and all that stuff. You did say you like to take pictures. So I'm assuming that you've always had this confidence.
00;03;50;09 - 00;04;07;22 Unknown I mean, I've always believed in, like, you know, like, every girl has your insecurities and every girl has, you know, there's, you know. Yeah. Insecurities is the only way to put it. You just you need to always try to be confident. And there's even times when I'm not feeling it and I don't feel confident. But you have to, like, do your inner work.
00;04;07;22 - 00;04;22;12 Unknown And I mean, like, I'm like, I'm, you know, like, I don't know, like there's a lot of pictures from, like when I was in high school. It's crazy the difference between now and high school. Every single picture I took would only show my body. Okay? And my whole face is covered. Like I would put the camera in my face and oh, like my whole school's out.
00;04;22;12 - 00;04;41;00 Unknown But it was like the camera was covering my face always because I was like, insecure about my face. I had acne, like, I every time, you know, people don't even notice those things. Like, yeah, we think, oh yeah. Like they're going to notice my my one nails broken like nobody is noticing those things that you're stressing about. Exactly I think confidence is just yeah.
00;04;41;03 - 00;04;55;15 Unknown Right. But I would say I'm confident. But it does help. Like when you're on social media, you kind of get a boost, right? Because you have those people that are like, oh my God, you're so pretty. And then and then and then you're like, yeah. And then you get a hate comment and you're like, middle finger. I'm pretty.
00;04;55;15 - 00;05;16;07 Unknown Honestly, I handle the hate comments very well. Yeah, a lot of people with the hate comments like they let it derail them and stuff, like, I was like that when I first started, like it was very I would see one comment and it would be like, I would feel like what the like, you know, like, like I'm posting this half and then they still have things to say, like, you know, negative comments about this, about that.
00;05;16;07 - 00;05;31;24 Unknown But now I see it and I'm like, honestly, like, you're so unhappy with yourself that you're here on my page and commenting on my page. All these nasty things like going out of your way, like to do it the day you're boosting my engagement and you're just an admirer. Exactly like you just hating your own
00;05;31;27 - 00;05;35;21 Unknown silent admirer. I had, I had this one guy.
00;05;35;21 - 00;05;51;09 Unknown Like, I did a Q&A or something, and he just. I don't remember exactly what he said, and. And he follows me, you know, and he was just like. And then there, trolls actually do. And I was like, I posted him on my story, like his comment. I'm like, hey guys, this guy wants attention. Let's give it to him, you know, oh my God.
00;05;51;09 - 00;06;06;23 Unknown And then he goes like, thank you so much and blah blah blah. Most of the time they also put those comments because you don't reply to the nice, exactly what I want to be. And then let's see if she replies in the replies like, yeah, yeah, sorry, I've got that before. They're like, sorry, I didn't mean to be rude.
00;06;06;23 - 00;06;23;24 Unknown Goddess. Yeah, yeah, I just wanted you to reply, come on, I need you to notice me. And the message is like, you're like, you're you're ugly. Is it? This is not. I was like, you know, well, that's just ugly. Like you're a lighter. And then the I reply was like immediate, like, oh my god.
00;06;23;28 - 00;06;30;27 Unknown Yeah. I had like so prior to me, like what I post right now, I used to hide my face, okay.
00;06;30;29 - 00;06;49;08 Unknown And when I would film, it was like only up to here. Excuse me. And then I started posting my face. And this guy's like, your videos were way better when you weren't showing your face. He's like, you look like a monkey. And I was like, thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I would have made up my mind sentences.
00;06;49;10 - 00;07;05;07 Unknown It's not waste my time, but I should have. But yes, for sure. That would have been a good I should have been like, I love bananas. That's funny, that's good, that's good. You would have been like, do you want mine? Yeah. Or you fight with positivity. There was negative. Like is you don't don't let it face you.
00;07;05;13 - 00;07;21;08 Unknown Right. But I don't I mean, in the beginning it depends on what platform like I would be looking in I, I, I don't really like look much into it, but like on one platform I would get a lot more views than on another one. And then I was more of you means a lot more hate you. So. Exactly right.
00;07;21;08 - 00;07;38;01 Unknown So then I'm looking at I'm like like people like 80% of the comments are like super nice. And then that 20%. And I'm just like, I would tell him, why would they say that about me? Like, we're always going to he I know, I know. So I learned to just like I don't even if and I'm so easy I'm blocking like I just block and then girl I mean it there.
00;07;38;01 - 00;07;52;07 Unknown It's like your engagement just don't stop because I tell her to. It's like they're comments. Yeah, but no matter what you do in life, if you're a surgeon, the top surgeon in the world, you're the best. You're making millions of dollars. Somebody's going to hate. You're always going to hate no matter what you do. So who gives a shit?
00;07;52;08 - 00;08;10;15 Unknown Don't block him. Let it. Let him be. Take the engagement and then share them with kindness. Those people are always going to be there. And I always think like if they're not commenting hate stuff on your like posts, I don't think you're doing something right. Like right. Exactly. The more engagement you have, the more viral you go, the worse is going to be.
00;08;10;15 - 00;08;25;23 Unknown I had a video, I just put it in there and I do like shaking a little bit and there's like a bunch of people like those are out of control. This is amazing. And then there's like those people who are like so plastic, they're not even moving like, oh God, yeah, they're still better than your wife's. And you're watching my videos.
00;08;25;25 - 00;08;42;27 Unknown So yeah, but it's so funny, this one guy, I will, I'll say this and then we'll, we'll move on. But this, this is what I was watching a real the other day. And then this guy comments on like this girl, something like, oh you look at you, you have a has been and like you're posting this whatever. And then she goes, she responds to the guy, she goes Q bio.
00;08;42;27 - 00;09;02;08 Unknown And then obviously I'm like interested in what he wrote in his bio. And he's like, love big. You know, like, oh my god. Like and then you, you go in you and you hate on other people. So let our listeners know, are you a single gal? Yes. I am and what can a guy do to get your attention?
00;09;02;08 - 00;09;18;29 Unknown What do you look for in a guy? Honestly, for me, is like kindness. Like I don't care about money. I don't care about looks like I'm not a person who will chase after all those things, and they can be unhappy in my day to day life because I think, like, I have my own money, you know, I'm successful on my own.
00;09;19;06 - 00;09;43;00 Unknown I just want somebody who is going to be kind and support me, because the way my job is, like a lot of girls have issues, girls always ask me like, oh, how is a dating? Like, do you have issues with that? Honestly, I don't have issues with that because I don't put up with it. Yeah, anybody who is going to give me even the slightest bit of a problem in the beginning, I'm immediately like, okay, I'm not even going to, you know, explore this any further because this is my life, this is my job, this is my career.
00;09;43;02 - 00;09;57;06 Unknown This is what I love to do. Yeah. Like, I'm not going to change my whole life for you. And I'm not the type of woman to be, like, dependent on a man. Like, I like to have all my own things. I don't wait on anybody for anything. So, like, even if you're willing to pay my bills, like I don't care, like you, you can leave from one second to the next.
00;09;57;06 - 00;10;11;27 Unknown I'm always going to have my own. And this is the way I've been able to change my life and make the amount of money that I make and live the life I live and support myself and not depend on a man. So yeah, I don't have problems with that. Are the women. He's independent. Throw your hands up at him.
00;10;12;00 - 00;10;31;24 Unknown That's not a very good one. But that's amazing because you're still very young and you have that mindset. Yes. You know, there are a lot of women. Great, because there are a lot of women who literally just like, expect everything from a man and we'll suffer and we'll just, you know, go with the flow because they can't rely on themselves to to go by.
00;10;31;27 - 00;10;47;11 Unknown Like, I love being spoiled. Oh me too. You know, I love to be spoiled. Like I have my own money. But I also like, you know, I feel like it has to do with, you know, the self-respect for yourself because you're not going to be with a broke guy, and not wanting to be with a broke guy doesn't make you a gold digger.
00;10;47;11 - 00;11;04;22 Unknown It makes you a woman who I like. If you can afford me, go find somebody in your price range. Because. But else I'm not going to change my lifestyle for it. It also shows that the guy is not a bum. Yes, right. Like a guy who works, who shows up, who does what he has to do. Well, you know, he's going to be a man.
00;11;04;22 - 00;11;20;21 Unknown Yeah, he can provide for you if he wants to. Or you guys are like, she's a gold digger, man. Exactly. What are we digging for? Your mom's wallet like it? Also, when we started dating, you know, I was your sugar mama. You were my sugar mama. Like, that's okay, I had nothing. Did you get yourself up? But I was.
00;11;20;21 - 00;11;38;24 Unknown But the thing is, she knew, like, I'm an ambitious guy, so I had plans and shit, like, you know, shit happens in life. In life, I lost everything. And you lost the lost. Then I can't think right now. I have a list where I lost everything, and it was just a bad, bad place in my life. And you knew you saw through all that.
00;11;39;00 - 00;11;52;18 Unknown She's a good woman. You knew my potential. Her? Yeah, exactly. Showing your ambition. Still showing that I was seeing thing. I mean, I was in school and I was still knew how to use tools. I knew how to use computers. Like, I'm not stupid, you know what I mean? Like, and look, you guys now partners, I'm just making money.

You basically just need. You basically want a guy that you can grow with, and you guys can make money together and, you know, just just, be compassionate. Would you say that you're a lover or more of, like, a loner type of vibe?
00;12;15;10 - 00;12;35;27 Unknown I think a little bit of both. I can be very, very much a lover, you know, like when I have a partner who is invested in me, who treats me good, who I see, like, okay, this is going somewhere, definitely will be super lover girl. But I'm also like, you know, I don't just put every single thing I have in me into somebody else.
00;12;35;27 - 00;12;49;17 Unknown Like, I can also be a loner too. Yeah, I can go to the movies by myself. Like I can go do things on my own, like I don't wait on. Like I said, I don't wait on anybody for anything. Like I can be a mixture of a loner and then at the same time, like saying you can be the little clingy and cute.
00;12;49;17 - 00;13;08;09 Unknown Yeah. So don't get it mistaken. Are you a feisty, crazy Latina? Yes, a little bit. I mean, I'm not crazy. So where are you from exactly?

But what does a typical day in your life look like? Typical day. Okay, so it's usually a lot of reals. Oh, I'm like, you know, wake up. I always, like to do my skincare, go to the gym.
00;14;44;22 - 00;15;02;23 Unknown Sometimes I either go to the gym early in the morning or I see my trainer at 8 p.m.. It just depends on the date. And I usually film about 28 skits tonight. 38, 30 skits. Yeah. On my sketch days, 28 to 30 sketch. Then that's what I call organized. Yes. Usually that's on Tuesdays. Thursdays it's either I have two pages.
00;15;02;23 - 00;15;17;29 Unknown So that's the other page. I'll also do the same, take photos and do about like 28 videos or as many as I can for the week since I post 3 to 4 times a day while, And yeah, then I have my another day would be for fans like I kind of just every single day I have my my daily plan.
00;15;18;06 - 00;15;33;27 Unknown You know, there's things that go in between like gym nails, things like I have every day. There is something being worked on in there. Oh, of TV things that I, you know, I have to do like a so speaking of, of TV, what are some things that you do on there. Because I'm, I'm like trying to get on that or TV is awesome.
00;15;33;27 - 00;15;55;05 Unknown So you can throw these podcasts on of TV. Okay. We are we do we do.

00;15;55;08 - 00;16;19;11 Unknown It's honestly all about the thumbnail and you're looking super hot. Like they're not going to probably watch the whole thing. Like you won't be super beneficial for me. I mean, it will get your face out there and your podcast out there to a lot of creators. So I think that it will be more like that, like having creators that are looking at who's featured, seeing the podcast and also, you know, for your fans, fan's account will blow up with things like that and if you get featured consistently.
00;16;19;13 - 00;16;35;18 Unknown Yeah. So I used to do cooking videos, but I'm transitioning into something like a little bit of a mixture of like lifestyle slash cooking videos, things like that.

Sunday is like me time. Like I said, I'm not going to work. I'm not going to reply. I'm not going to like, this is my time. I spend every single day on the phone editing videos, recording videos, coming up with video ideas, doing research like looking at other girls videos, getting some inspirations, shopping for the outfits that I'm going to use for next week, planning my schedule, you know, doing things that are different like those weekends.
00;17;29;22 - 00;17;48;15 Unknown I don't want to be on my phone. Yeah, I don't want to be calling Fulan and talking about this for three hours. Like you want to be in the beach, lay down or go like, do something fun. I love doing busters, like things like that. Like go watch a movie. Okay. You know, so, does does getting your nails count as one weekend?
00;17;48;16 - 00;18;06;23 Unknown No, it's because that's a work thing, right? Yeah. I usually do one full day of starting in the morning. I would do my nails, my lashes, wax, facial. If I need to go do like, a tan or something like that. Yeah, I do all of that in one day. I work right, see my trainer and then usually that day is like blocked off.
00;18;06;23 - 00;18;25;23 Unknown I usually do that on like a Friday right before for the weekend. You're like fresh and just nice and fresh. At what point? I mean, I know you said that you made a big amount of money just like overnight, from your IG, but what was it like? I what point where you're like, okay, like, this is it.
00;18;25;23 - 00;18;46;23 Unknown I'm going to, like, focus everything. Was it at that exact moment that you're just like, dude, everything else. So it's pretty bad because I saw the money and I was like, wow, this is amazing. I quit my job and then I didn't take it serious at, oh, no, like, I, I started making money, but it wasn't like it didn't stay going up because I just did not do any like, content, like I wouldn't post.
00;18;46;23 - 00;19;11;24 Unknown I barely posted on Instagram like I barely did any of that until one day I was like, okay, I need to start posting a little more. I would post like, I started to post a little bit more, and then it was maybe like not even a it wasn't a long time, maybe like a year ago or something. I decided, like, I'm going to log in and I'm going to take this serious because it started to be like, well, no, maybe for maybe two years because I started getting features on defense for OSB.
00;19;11;27 - 00;19;27;11 Unknown So I started being very dependent on the features. I was working with some people that I was paying them a lot of money to like production, do the production of my all TV videos and things like that. I was very dependent on features. I was making stupid money, like not doing any social media like it was just doing those videos.
00;19;27;11 - 00;19;40;18 Unknown Once a month I would go film with them, they would post 4 or 2 videos and it would get featured very consistently, like the money was flowing. And then I started to be like, you know what? Like I don't want to pay these people anymore. I want to make this on my own. Like without having to pay these people a chunk of my money.
00;19;40;22 - 00;20;02;24 Unknown Yeah. So I decided, like, I'm going to start posting consistently. I started posting at first one time of day, then two times a day, and then I was like four times a day I'm going to log in. And ever since then, it's been like hundreds and hundreds of thousands of followers and growth, insane fans, revenue coming in without having to pay those people, without depending on features.
00;20;02;29 - 00;20;19;25 Unknown Every month. Like it was just I decided to log in and that's that's amazing. Yeah, I think this is a confirmation that we got to do oh, be like, I think this is a sign because we were literally talking about this. It's very good for like, yes, the podcast is fun and stuff, but like I really need to, to record it like you record it for.
00;20;19;25 - 00;20;35;10 Unknown Yeah, exactly. Just like throw mic on, all you need is a thumbnail and a nice, cute little video four minutes long. That's what it has to be, right? It doesn't have to be super long. That's honestly what put my fans like on the map. Like if to make, you know, I thought 16,000 was a lot. My first month with the old TV feature, I was like, what the.
00;20;35;13 - 00;20;51;19 Unknown I know I've seen some numbers and I'm just like, wow. Yeah. So and then that's why I decide I was like, I need to make this on my own without depending on these features. So now if I get featured now mixed with my consistency on my grind on my Instagram is like it would be, it would be nice.
00;20;51;19 - 00;21;09;01 Unknown Yeah. I love how organized you seem and how you know, she is meticulous and all that. That's cool. You have to take like a job. I've always had a job, like I've never been a unemployed loser as people like to be like, you're a loser. Fans and you're a loser like, no, I am a businesswoman. I am a strategist.
00;21;09;08 - 00;21;28;01 Unknown I have worked many jobs before. Like, this is not my first job. You know, you just have to be consistent and stay focused. Was there a point in time where you were like, oh, like, okay, you let's say you made 16 K your first month and then after you weren't consistent. So, you know, I'm assuming that it did go, oh yeah, I went a lot about like what the did I do.
00;21;28;02 - 00;21;52;05 Unknown Yeah. Like why did I quit my job or whatever. And I made like $5,000 and I'm like, oh my God. And I'm like, mind you, I wasn't doing anything at all. Okay. Nothing. My first like year, I did not show nothing, not even my nothing at all. And then I didn't post anything at all. I was like, honestly, I went through like a little depression phase and I was grinding like, yeah, I was not focusing on my chart.
00;21;52;06 - 00;22;09;29 Unknown I was not, I was not doing great. So then I was like, okay, what am I doing? Like, I did this and I'm showing my body and now you're putting my name out here and I'm not making ridiculous amounts of money, like I should be making millions. And then honestly, after I realized that I was like, I locked in and now I'm like, never looked back.
00;22;09;29 - 00;22;28;18 Unknown And I'm like, I'm so mad that I didn't grind as hard as I'm grinding now sooner because, like, my account would be five x what it is now. Yeah, but everything happened in due time. Exactly. Everything. In due time. I was not ready to show. Yeah. To show. To show. Exactly. Yeah. Because it's it's not easy. Right. And once you post something like there's this, there's no going back.
00;22;28;19 - 00;22;47;29 Unknown Especially when it's like that, that full blown, you know, oh you know what? I'm going to go and nobody's going to know. They're going to think I'm doing the same thing I was always doing. Doing leaked all over the place. Viral status I know. Yeah. So it was very like, oh, everybody's been waiting for this. They got it.
00;22;48;01 - 00;23;02;00 Unknown But that's also like a big misconception that a lot of girls have going into this is like, I'm going to go, I'm going to blow up. I'm a no money. No. And then, well, no, I'm at the money part of it where it's like, I'm going to make so much money, I'm gonna make millions. And then it's like, it's not that easy.
00;23;02;00 - 00;23;25;04 Unknown Like it took us a hot minute. You need to be right where we made a dollar from. Oh, I did get blessed at my first month. That's amazing. That's freaking one. It's good. It stayed high. Like, after that for a while. Like it did not. It stayed at maybe like 12,000, 14,000. But things like that. Amazing. But like for me it was like, if I'm showing this, I need to be making stupid money.
00;23;25;04 - 00;23;44;10 Unknown Yeah. So now I look at those numbers and I'm like, roots rookie. So but I'm very blessed. Honestly though, it it's you can be a little out of touch with reality sometimes doing this and making this type of money that sometimes I'll talk to people. I know and they talk about like their day to day job and the way they work so much and they make, you know, so little like.
00;23;44;10 - 00;24;02;22 Unknown And he just I feel like damn like, like sometimes we really need to take a step back and like, see how blessed we are 1,000%. Because it's not I mean, it's it's been a game changer. I would not go back. I would not go forward. What was it that you were having nightmares about going for that one? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00;24;02;22 - 00;24;20;09 Unknown So I used to be an electrician. And you know it's dangerous right. You see that you wouldn't normally see in what we do now, but you see people getting hurt and whatnot. And I used to hate it so much. And I would not go back and doing this now I feel blessed to have Nate. Thank you.
00;24;20;09 - 00;24;38;28 Unknown Thank you God like this is memories that he had to go back to work or like, go back to school or something.

But when it's, Like, when it's not that busy, it's good.
00;24;38;28 - 00;24;54;07 Unknown It's really. Yeah, I think, anyways, men just go there for, for the girls because, like, we have some people there for the food they don't even want to talk to there for the food. Yeah. Oh, really? People are really like the food. They're like a lot of families go like, it's sometimes not just for the. I mean, it's not that expensive.
00;24;54;07 - 00;25;12;03 Unknown It's not not, it's not at all. Yeah, exactly. That's why it was really annoying like when I. Well, while I worked there, like I kind of got it started to like the, the like getting money out of men when I went to Twin Peaks because it was like the bills are always very low. There's no tips included, like you need to get that tip out of them.
00;25;12;03 - 00;25;29;00 Unknown Yeah. And with the families that usually tip very good at families, usually into 20%, 22%, it really just depends on the family. Some families over tip, they give a really nice tip, but you're depending on those guys to like come in every day, be your regulars, be in love with you. And yeah, you know, give you a nice tip and you just form a real connection.
00;25;29;05 - 00;25;44;19 Unknown It's in person. Like a lot of my regulars there became I became like like family. Like I was like, why aren't you coming to see me? Like I was like, how are you? Like, it's you form like a real bond with them. They bring you flowers, they bring your favorite cupcakes, ice cream, like. But you know what they want, right?
00;25;44;20 - 00;26;04;20 Unknown A connection, you know, they want to see you. Yeah, yeah. But listen, they all got to see me very soon. Very soon after they all got to see me. I Twin Peaks around.

I don't do it as much.
00;32;18;14 - 00;32;36;22 Unknown It's very time consuming. I enjoyed it and I love all my Kik fans on there and everybody, like, I usually go on Fridays before I do my friends live. I'll hop on for an hour. Hey guys, we're transitioning to the fun stuff. Yeah, but it's just my goal is not to be on the camera four days a week, like streaming for six hours.
00;32;36;22 - 00;32;52;12 Unknown Just like that. I was being inconsistent with my fans and Instagram content. It was very hard to have a chat schedule and do that, and like it was just very complicated. So I decided to step back, go away from it a little bit. But I still, you know, did you like did you make good money on Kik? It was good.
00;32;52;12 - 00;33;08;05 Unknown There was days like you would it's just it's not like trans money. You still make very good money once you start getting very well-known on there. Like once I started getting my name, like, I would be in the top of every stream of my in that category, I would be like number one or number two. You start to make money.
00;33;08;05 - 00;33;25;23 Unknown Like it just depends on the day. And like there will be days where you don't make you make $200 and then there'll be days you're making $800, $900 like, and then I'll hop on vans live and then it's game over. Yeah. So yeah. How often do you go live on? Usually every Friday. Okay. Sometimes I'm a little inconsistent with this.

So you you've collab with J. Mack. Any other big names that you've collab with? Via the brand Danny and True Cade? I mean, the collabs with them. Yeah. I don't really do a lot of collabs, like, I'm, I'm kind of just stepping into that world now.
00;34;07;10 - 00;34;22;10 Unknown Doing collabs. I was always very scared, like very nervous. I'm like, oh my God. Like so in a camera with somebody you don't know very well. But I've been doing my collabs with people that I do know, like I don't just like a famous person on Instagram. I'm like, okay, let's do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I like to meet them in person.
00;34;22;10 - 00;34;38;11 Unknown Usually I meet like even experts. You can meet a lot of people in a form like relationship that for sure. Yeah. Violet is one of my very good friends, so, like, that was already going to happen one way or the other, but she was kind of like my first. I pop my cherry, her key and Violet. Yeah, I think I did see a post with you.
00;34;38;11 - 00;34;59;24 Unknown In true case, I'm assuming the other girl was Violet. Violet. Okay, okay, okay. And then J market was the last one and that's it. I'll probably I think I have something coming up again with Jay Mack, you know. Can't get enough of that. So Jay Mack are you listening. He's like I haven't seen him since his birthday. Yeah, but he said I was supposed to go nice.
00;34;59;27 - 00;35;14;01 Unknown Was, it was my sister's gender reveal party. Oh, okay. You couldn't miss that stay till late. And I was like, oh, my God. By the time I get there, it's going to be latest. I. I probably should have just gone because it was probably around the next time I see him, though he did tell me he's like, I want to come.
00;35;14;01 - 00;35;27;19 Unknown And then I'm like, what did you say? You got to come on the podcast, bro? He doesn't want to come. He says, no, no, no, no. But then he I think he had a few drinks in him and he's like, oh like, what did you say? He's like, no, no, no no no no. It's like I want to come.
00;35;27;19 - 00;35;48;29 Unknown It's like, you want to come. So you just got nominated for an X based award. Tell us a little bit about that. I what did you get nominated for? I'm nominated for rising social Media star of the year. So I was not expecting to be nominated for anything at all. I was actually checking for my friend Violet because she always gets nominated.
00;35;48;29 - 00;36;03;27 Unknown So I was like, I'm at the minute I see that. I'm like, let me check it out. And she won in that category. I'm pretty sure was the same one last year. Nine. So I was looking in. Then I see her, she was she's up running this year for I think like premier social media star. But I wasn't expecting it.
00;36;03;27 - 00;36;23;26 Unknown I saw my name and I was like, what the like at all? I was very shocked. I just woke up and I was like, what kind of okay, so they don't send you an email to tell you that you got nominated. You just went to go look for your friend. Me. Maybe they do. I don't know because I don't check my email super often, but I was literally just checking, like I wasn't even checking for me.
00;36;23;28 - 00;36;38;10 Unknown And I looked at it and I was like, oh my God, there's no way. Like, that's the biggest smile on my face. And what you're saying today is going to be a great day. I look up and I did my makeup and I made like 90 riyals and it went crazy. So that's definitely a good way to start your day, you know what I mean?
00;36;38;10 - 00;36;54;10 Unknown Like, you get acknowledged for something that you've been working. I've been working so hard for it. It's cool. Good for you. Let me ask you something. How do you find ideas for your reels? So I like to look at a lot of different girls content. I don't like to copy anybody's content. I like to be very original, so I just take inspiration from other girls.
00;36;54;10 - 00;37;09;26 Unknown You know, I don't like to copy and paste, so I like to make it my own always. I kind of just like if I'm doing something and I think it's like, just record it type of vibe. I've realized a lot of the public stuff does go to. So if there's any moment where I think like, oh, I look prettier, that was cute.
00;37;09;26 - 00;37;26;28 Unknown Like, I just record it like, that's it. I kind of just record everything. So do you ever get shy when you're in public and you have to, like, take a video that's a bit more, you know, dangerous. Yeah. You do. You used to get really shy. I would make videos like in the mall, which they always go so viral, like, really like you'll be like a guy seeing you.
00;37;26;28 - 00;37;41;15 Unknown It's very frowned upon to stare at a woman who wears. So when they're seeing a video, like, they can look at it for as long as they want. So I think that's why it goes viral, because it's like in public and they're looking at that, and when it's in person, they look at it, they're like, yeah, I can't look too much.
00;37;41;19 - 00;38;00;29 Unknown So I would get very shy. Like I would wait till there's nobody around. Yeah, same. But I broke out of that. I'm like, this world is so big. Like, when am I ever going to see this person again? Yeah. And even if I do see this person again, like what you're going to judge me for taking, you're going to remember that I, your memory is like if you're remembering that, like, I must admit, was looking good.
00;38;01;05 - 00;38;21;19 Unknown Like. Exactly. You must have, like, not many things to think about. Yeah, I remember what what what you saw me do at the mall. So you're doing you're doing very well for yourself. On or off on social media. Do you plan on staying in this industry or do you want to, you know, move into something else later on?
00;38;21;26 - 00;38;42;22 Unknown I think that I'll be in this industry for a very long time. I don't see myself retiring anytime soon. I'm 21. Yeah. So I just started. I just started off. And you have a long way to go. Exactly. And seeing, like, the success that I've already gone in, like at 21 years old has been unreal. I can't even imagine, like, when I'm 25, when I'm 30, like, I just looking that far.
