Everything In Conversation: The Tragedy of Child Influencers

Hello EIContent-obsessives, this week's deep-dive is on child influencers. Jessalyn Grace, now 18, used to post YouTube videos to her 1.5m online audience as a child. But the former influencer has recently shared the dark reality behind that smiley online veneer. Behind the scenes she was an over-worked, anxious child and the breadwinner of her family. In this new video, she's also accused her mother of financial, verbal and physical abuse and shared why she left her family home. Thank you so much for listening to this episode. We'd love to hear your thoughts in the Spotify comments and in our DMs – did you agree/disagree with our takes?
