Over the last eight years of being on YouTube, I've seen so much progress. I think the reason for that is that a lot of young people are having open dialogue and honest conversations about social justice and human rights.

There was no Twitter when I was in high school, so I can't even imagine the pressures or the expectations of pursuing likes or living life in that kind of mentality.

I'm a firm believer in making it happen - no matter what 'it' is.

Everybody on YouTube starts with zero subscribers. You think of everyone you look up to or have watched for years or whatever, they may seem like this is their life now, but it wasn't always that.

I first discovered YouTube while browsing the web, and then I found people just talking into their cameras. I never even knew it was a thing you could do.

I just try to surround myself with good, positive supportive people who are trying to make the world better.

Julie Chen. She's my ultimate celebrity idol. I think she's one of the most amazing interviewers and hosts ever - and would kill to pick her brain. I am a fangirl of talent, so to see someone slaying the competition doing what I'd love to do, that's inspiring to me.
