Influencers have become essential on all social media platforms by combining fun, creativity, activism and inspiration. Looking up to someone and learning how to not only update your closet but also learn about what is changing in the world makes influencers stand out and emphasize their purpose. Here are five influencers we thought you could use to change your view on the world and self.
@hodanyousuf (Hodan Yousuf)
Hodan Yousuf, a Toronto-based influencer (who gained a vast following from TikTok at first), is an inspiration by incorporating her love for fashion and being able to still express her faith in her attire. Yousuf uses mostly thrifted outfits focusing on masculine attire, making many of her outfits reflect men’s fashion and street style while combining them with feminine items to create a silhouette she can enjoy sharing with the world. If you’re trying to upgrade your style and understand the concept of being able to balance faith and fashion, Yousuf is the influencer to look up to.
