“To talk about how I became an “influencer” ,People classify me as one but I don’t see myself as such. I started getting the numbers because whenever people followed my account, I made it a point to follow them back. I’ve had a number of requests to be a brand ambassador but I’ve had to reject them for personal reasons. As I mentioned earlier I don’t see myself as an influencer, just a little girl who wants a place to have fun and nothing else.
