We live in an era where everything is done through the social media platform and this influences everything. In my case, the media has influenced and I as a person have influenced others through the Instagram platform. I used this means of communication so that other people who, like me, had several extra pounds, could motivate themselves, help them to have good habits, and always look for the best version of themselves. I used and exposed my exercise routine along with the food I was taking and the product I was consuming so that others could see my progress and that helped me to obtain an extra income in my home.
