    Yeah she accepted those checks, but now she is recanting what she had done. Better now then never, eh? She is doing something Michael Jordan has not done publicly by using her social platform to send a social message. We often get caught into what other people are doing in their lives and try to emulate it. Black people are especially guilty of emulating things like players; ballers; dope dealers; athletes; or bad ? which is the case for women.

    Weak-minded people don't often wonder what self-disrespecting or shady ? that these false idols have done in order to get that "glitter and gold lifestyle". Weak-minded people just emulate the best way they can, by any means necessary. This chick just sent a social message that her charmed lifestyle is just a by-product of corporate product placement.

    Her point seems to be less about not emulating what's on Instagram and more about attacking the authenticity of what's seen there. Like who cares that she was paid to model an outfit or promote tea? That's a good hustle. She should be promoting that to help others profit instead of knocking it.

    We are saying the same thing bruh. Weak-minded people will think that she is really living that lifestyle and try to emulate. She let people know that these pictures are not authentic.

    Living what lifestyle though? Look at the pics she listed. One of her standing around in a dress. One of her sitting in the tub drinking tea. Those are innocuous pics. It's not like she's ghostriding a Bugatti or something. I agree with your sentiment. I just don't really think it applies too much to what this chick is doing. To me, it really just looks like a ploy for attention.

    You mean all those cars and houses in music videos aren't really theirs?

    This is no different than those porn chicks who "retire" then drop a mini documentary about the evils of the porn industry. She got paid to wear little to no clothes on and didn't see a problem with it when the money was coming in. There's nothing honorable about this.

    She is saying that she was presenting a dishonest lifestyle and now she's recanting. She was 15 & 16 when that ? was happening (which is pretty sick) and now she's obviously matured somewhat and wants to set the record straight. I'm not sure why anyone would have a problem with that.

    I don't think anything is wrong with it. I just think it's an attention grab.

    1) Saying Social Media isn't real because she did some modeling is silly. I seriously doubt her experience is typical.
    2) Of the pics she showed, it's not like she was portraying some larger than life lifestyle, so I don't really see the problem.
    3) There is nothing inherently wrong with what she did. So I don't see the point of speaking out against it.

    I don't know. It just seems pointless to me. Like if she has some deep point she's trying to make, she's failing at it.

    I think you're missing the point.

    I watched her YouTube video addressing her concerns and the gist of it was that starting at the age of 12 she idolized these social media stars and wanted to emulate them not knowing that it was a contrived, superficial and lonely existence. She lived for the pics, the likes, the shares and adds ..she went places for the photo ops, did things not to enjoy them but to share them with a bunch of faceless screen names. She thought it would make her feel whole but in reality it's all an empty facade.

    She falsely portrayed that she was living some fulfilling glamorous life and it was far from her true feelings.

    She was an attention ? who strived to be the best attention ? but she don't feel like that no more. She fails to realize she's still attention ? for stopping her attention ?

    But it sounds like she got to live exactly what she wanted. These social media stars don't really promote anything other than living for pics, getting likes, and getting paid for their online activity. That's what she did. Again, how does posting some random ass pics promote a glamorous life? Maybe the group of pics in the OP are a bad sample or something. Half of them are clearly not candid and the other half are just regular ass pics with product placement.

    Okay now think about it with an illogical and impressionable child-like mind. That is who she is speaking to..not that complicated to understand.

    Her website

    http://www.letsbegamechangers.com

    Looked her up on IG, she doesn't have one anymore, it's nothing but copycats.

    It's just a woman saying what people know; validation through social media to feel self worth.

    Essentially, she's doing the same through her campaign. I don't see what actual awareness she's bringing.

    What is an attention ? ? Someone attempting to draw attention to something or someone or themselves?

    If thats the case we're all attention ? , but some efforts are worth attention ? over.

    At least this has a positive message.

    Live a meaningful life. Don't be so superficial. Don't base your worth on deceptive goals.

    I see several.

    I don't think you're understanding what I'm saying. I'm not arguing against people being impressionable or foolish. Yes, there are kids out there who will buy into fantasy whether its on tv, movies, the net, whatever. I'm saying that going by her pics in particular, there is nothing there that is egregious. How does a pic of her sitting on the beach poison an illogical and impressionable mind? Maybe she said something in her video that was more poignant than what she's saying in the posts and demonstrating with the pics.

    No we are all not attention ? .

    The message isn't genuine she wants to be congratulated for doing something your supposed to do from jump...not placing value in superficiality.

    Its like the ? walk and Amber Rose. Its being used to highlight herself instead of the issue.
