Authenticity is the ultimate beauty

So how did the Internet help Hannah Stocking express herself? “I used to feel insecure and sometimes I still do. I am constantly and consistently working to improve my insecurities and wake up every morning trying my best to accept every part of me. I know I’m not alone with these feelings, so I try to present myself to my followers in all my different moods. Whether I’m being loud and crazy, or relax with no makeup on, I try my best to show that not everything you see on the Internet is ‘picture perfect” Hannah says.

According to her, what is important is that Hannah keep showing herself in the most authentic way and always embrace her flaws, uniqueness and imperfections. Being authentic is the real form of perfection.

Hannah loves Asian street style. The content creator says, “the fashion scene is so free and personal. They incorporate wild prints and colors, but also, they keep everything blended by throwing in black and greys to cut all the harsh colors. They also love good accessories such as bags and hats to elevate a simple everyday look. All in all, their style is very personal yet quirky and bold.” What’s more, Hannah looks forward for an opportunity to connect with content creators in Asia and learn more about the Asian cultures and traditions.

Hannah started creating on the day she met King Bach, Liane V and Destorm Power at a gym in North Hollywood. The three content creators invited Hannah to create videos on Vine, and the rest was history. Thanks to them, we now have Hannah Stocking along with her charming, witty, yet educational videos.

When asking about her European heritage, Hannah expresses her admiration its incredible culture. She is impressed with how Europeans can separate their work and leisure. “They take their vacations and time off very seriously,” she added. Hannah says this really taught her how breaks are beneficial for mental and physical health and well-being.

When the epidemic broke out, Hannah admitted that she took more breaks, and went to more therapy. At that moment, she realizes these mental breaks are completely crucial, especially when she is a creative person.

One advice Hannah would give for the GenZ and the uprising Tiktoker is “to stay away from negativity and drama and always be consistent with your work”.
