Beautifully articulated article. I think if you're going to put yourself in the public eye, you got to be able to take the good with the bad and accept 1) you're not going to please everyone and 2) the trolls out there really have nothing better to with their lives. If you become a victim of these comments, I think it would take a very strong headed person to ignore. I don't see you as an influencer, I see you as my chief tester of products and a teacher! Being a similar skin tone to you, give or take a shade up or below, I know the product is likely to suit me too. Some of the products you recommend are not cheap and let's face it, not everyone has the budget, however, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be endorsing it just for the dollars. Authentic people on YouTube are not easy to find. Saddens me when I see little kids being paid an arm and leg because they play with a few toys... Is that clever move by the parents? Maybe, but let kids be kids. Content delivery, as you point out, is hard to maintain. Keeping followers engaged is not easy. Even with your personal vlog, you really do show a very vulnerable side to yourself. The pain you go through regarding your hair. It really stresses you out and I felt for you.

Hello Nina. I am sorry, but this is the only way I could find to address a current issue.

My credit card got hacked, and I am trying to update my card information so I can continue to be a subscriber. I have tried everything. I cannot even begin to figure out how to go about this. Can someone guide me through this?

And here I thought I was tech savvy. 🤦🏼‍♀️ 😇
