It's official, I'm an award-winning online influencer! I was just scrolling through TikTok when I saw that the British LGBT Awards had written a nice little paragraph about me. I was nominated in the top ten online influencers category which celebrates LGBT+ people that have used their online presence to speak out about LGBT+ issues or rights.
And I have to say, I was feeling pretty good about myself. I've worked hard to build my following and to create content that is both honest and funny. I'm glad that my work is being recognized and that I can help to de-mystify people's understanding of transitioning. So, if you're ever feeling down, just remember that you could be an award-winning online influencer too! Thanks for all the love and support.
