- Why is hosting Natty Light's Worldwide Commencement
so important to you?
- I was in college myself, and it's a lot of work.
And the fact that the class of 2020
is basically having their celebration taken away from them,
it's super important to me that they get to celebrate
all their achievements and get to have the moment
to look back at college and see how awesome it was.
I went to UCF for my first year
'cause it was a little bit closer to home.
And then I was able to get my AA degree finished there.
And then I moved over to Florida State.
But before I graduated, I think I had one semester left,
I went out to California and pursued that.
- So this is closer to your heart
because you also didn't get that traditional, big ceremony
that most college graduates get.
- Yes, and that's one of the things-
That's also why I'm super excited to be a part of it.
So it's a little bit selfish on my end
that way, too, but it'll be a lot of fun.
And for you guys that don't know,
it's May 14th, 7 p.m. EST, on Natural Light's Facebook page.
Be there.

- You made your first true impact
on the entertainment industry through
your hilarious videos on YouTube and Vine,
and now you're poppin' all over TikTok,
with more than 8 million followers.
What are the questions that you ask yourself
before you make a new video?
What are your keys to success on those platforms?
- I kind of categorize what type of content
I do on different platforms.
On Instagram, I'll do more longer form,
more produced content on IGTV.
Same with YouTube, it's more organic and challenges,
so it's easier to film,
but better editing on than say TikTok.
I'll repost some of my sketches on there,
but most of it's more of the TikTok trends
that are going on, and also just starting to
set new trends, or even doing more kind of
it's almost like Vine-style comedic videos.
So, Vine was an app that existed years ago,
but is no longer with us.
Basically just kind of creating for
a younger audience on that platform.
And then on Instagram just sticking to
what I love, which is comedic sketches.
And, you know, promoting awareness about different things.
And also just inspiring people to be optimistic.
- Now, of course, we're all stuck in the house right now.
We're baking and doing exercise
and I'm becoming a completely different person.
Do you have any hobbies that you've picked up
during this stay at home period?
- Oh yes.
I've set goals for myself.
So I hate stretching. I don't know why.
It's just like I love HIIT training,
I love high-intensity cardio, I love all that stuff.
But stretching is like my enemy, so in quarantine
I'm like, all right, every morning
for 30 minutes I'm gonna do yoga
and follow all these different yoga routines.
So I've been doing that and my flexibility has improved.
So I'm happy with that.
I've been learning some Spanish.
I've been working on handstands.
It's all super random and all over the place, but-
And then I'm also just studying a lot.
I like learning about different entrepreneurs,
what they've done, so I'm kind of like
looking at different business profiles as well,
which is fun for me.
- So how do you feel that you can best
use your platform during this time period?
- I think by just, you know, multiple ways
because I do do a lot of different things on my platforms.
And for me just keeping people in a positive mindset
is really important because
And I see a lot of people focusing on the physical,
which is great and I'm promoting, too,
of staying home, staying quarantined,
washing your hands, all that important stuff.
Donating to where you can, to the local hospitals,
to our first responders, and even to people
and families in need, the homeless.
There's so many different angles to where we can help.
And where we help offline, too,
and aren't necessarily posting about it everywhere.
But for me, I feel like the best way I can give back
is by keeping people optimistic,
keeping people motivated and inspired,
and also keeping people laughing.
- [Woman] Hello?
- Hi yeah, I just hit a dog on the road right there.
I'm just wondering if it's yours?
- [Woman] Oh my God, what's it look like?
- Um...
As long as you're taking the essential precautions
of doing what your job is as a human being,
and making sure other people are safe.
But then, from there, finding ways
to stay productive, stay inspired, and stay happy.

- She fell asleep.
Oh! - Victory!
