Story:
Follow Scottish TikTok sensation Kristen Scott as she leaves school at 16 and starts her journey as a full-time social media influencer. At only 13 years-old, Kristen began vlogging online, three years and several viral videos later, she has amassed over 700K followers on TikTok. In 2020, Kristen decided to focus on building her brand into a lucrative business that she can live off and hopefully allow her to move out of her parents’ house. Whilst living your life online offers many opportunities like Creator Houses, events and free clothes, it also comes with its challenges. Kristen reflects on her experiences with bullying, body shaming, unwanted negative comments from strangers online and now, in 2020 what it’s like to be a creator during a global pandemic.
Is Kristen ready to face this career head on?
