How did you first start on social media? 

I began my social media journey by creating my very first YouTube channel called “Sophia’s Reborns” when I was 12 years old. It focused on reborn role-play content. As time went on, I transitioned into the lifestyle niche and started my second YouTube channel. In April of this year, I launched my lifestyle TikTok and Instagram accounts. 

What is the purpose and goal of your blog? 

My ultimate goal is to inspire others to be confident and pursue their dreams. I share content about living my dream life at a young age, hoping to inspire other teens who watch my content. Additionally, I provide tips on how to achieve fast social media growth, aiming to help aspiring content creators learn and grow their own platforms.

How would you describe your style? Who influences your style? 

I would describe my style as classic, neutral, and sporty. Some of the influencers who inspire my style include Sofia Richie, Anna Sitar, and Hailey Bieber.

What are your career aspirations for the next 5 years? 

In the next 5 years, I want to establish my own business, potentially a cosmetics brand, and also launch an educational course.

What qualities do you look for in a friend? What activities do you enjoy doing with your friends? 

When it comes to friendships, I value support, trustworthiness, and someone who is there for me even when I’m busy or unable to hang out. My favorite thing to do with my friends is just go to Starbucks and talk. We will literally talk for hours about the most random things. I also love going to concerts together it’s a fun way to bond over our favorite artists. 

What are some of your favorite blogs? 

Some of my favorite influencers and bloggers include Anna Sitar, Spencer Barbosa, and Nicole Laeno.

What do you find most rewarding about having a large following on social media? What are the challenges you face? 

I think the most rewarding aspect of having a large following is the ability to connect with people who support me from all around the world. However, dealing with hate comments can be a difficult challenge.

What advice do you have for young teens struggling to find their personal style? 

I would suggest trying out new styles, experimenting with different brands and designers. By exploring various styles, you can discover what makes you feel confident and like the best version of yourself. Don’t limit yourself to trends or what’s popular. Embrace your uniqueness and be true to yourself. 

Have you ever experienced bullying? How can teens and tweens stand up against bullying? 

I have faced many instances where people doubted my success, criticized my content, and left hurtful comments. It’s important to remember that rude comments or opinions do not define who you are. You are much more than what others think of you. Be proud of your individuality and embrace your true self. 

Which clothing and makeup brands are your favorites? 

Aritzia is my go-to clothing brand. Rare Beauty and Charlotte Tilbury are my favorite makeup brands. 

What boosts your confidence? 

Getting dressed up and taking pictures really boosts my confidence. Sometimes all it takes is dressing up and having fun with Instagram photoshoots. I love getting creative with my pictures, and it gives me a great confidence boost.

Tell us something about you that you want people to know. 

I want everyone to know that it’s never too early or too late to start pursuing your dreams. Don’t let other people’s opinions bring you down. You are beautiful just the way you are, and I believe in you. 

What advice do you have for teens and tweens looking to improve their Instagram feed? 

Be creative and post content that truly makes you happy and confident. Don’t feel pressured to follow trends that don’t align with your authentic self. Express your individuality and showcase what truly resonates with you.
