Another thing that’s helped Remi? Focusing on her passions. She said these include mental health, fighting for size inclusivity in the fashion industry, and growing her latest business venture: Fangirl.
After posting content of herself using a fan last year, the influencer saw others share similar videos of themselves with the hashtag #RemiMadeMeDoIt. Hence, the idea of Fangirl was born.
“They’re just like, ‘Oh my God, now I can use a fan. I was so embarrassed about being sweaty and out and walking around with a fan,'” she said. “I’m like, ‘Who cares? I do it.’ So I think it kind of started as a joke and a little trend, and then I was like, ‘I’m going to start this more as like a fun thing.’”
But after seeing the positive feedback, Remi discovered it could be something more.
“It’s making me more excited realizing it could be a real thing and it’s not a joke and that I did do this all by myself in the past year,” she added. “I feel like I’ve done so many collaborations with different brands, but this is the first thing that I’m really doing on my own and was fully my idea.”
