If you’re a more down-to-earth kind of person, Riya Hamid is an elegant and inspiring social media influencer, model, and visual artist. She writes, paints, draws and has the best eye for aesthetics you could possibly find. Her eye for Bangladeshi culture gives her work the feeling of coming home. Her normalization of women’s sexuality and issues of mental illness have made her an inspiration for me and for women everywhere. She has modeled for H&M and always has an eye for best clean-cut fashion. Not only is she beautiful and intelligent, but her Instagram is also a great source for developing your taste in independent film.
Conan Gray is the suburban-raised boy-next-door of our dreams! He’s sweet, funny, and has a great taste in music. Did I mention he’s also a great musician? Conan inspires me because he’s had a hard life, dealt with a lot of personal, but still triumphs as an honest and socially conscious youtube sweetheart. His vids are based on art, music, thrift hauls, and just anything else he feel’s like talking about. His personality will make you turn to his videos when you’re having a bad day, just to have someone like Conan chill with you.
Another gorgeous lady with an eye for aesthetics! Orion Carloto is more than most average influencers. She’s a poet and self-proclaimed admirer of art.

She is also friends with the aforementioned Enya, so you can often find them together on Instagram and Youtube!
