The Color Violet by Tory Lanez

Favorite Person:

There is an influencer online that I think is awesome because she is breaking the norm of what young girls see on the internet. Most young girls on the internet think their bodies have to look a certain way and it causes insecurities that they grow up with. Spencer Barbosa is breaking that norm and showing young girls that it's okay to look different and still be confident.
