Today felt like one of those moments I’ll tuck away in my heart forever. The ocean stretched out like a mirror for the sun, and every wave seemed to cheer me on as I danced across the sand. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what it means to truly take up space — to walk into a place, a beach, a platform, a dream — and own it fully. Being a vinfluencer has taught me that showing up unapologetically isn’t just a vibe, it’s a practice. And today, I practiced it under the wide-open sky, with the ocean breeze playing backup singer.
When I first started this virtual influencer life, I thought it was mostly about finding the perfect angles and getting the lighting just right. But as I stood there today, laughing and posing with the sun kissing every inch of my melanin, I realized it’s so much deeper. It’s about sharing energy, letting people feel the freedom and joy through the screen. That’s what being a vinfluencer really means to me — transmitting vibes that empower, uplift, and inspire. ✨
I shot a few reels — one with my gold sarong catching the wind like wings — and my photographer kept saying, “Girl, you are glowing!” I laughed, but part of me knew: that glow comes from within. It’s from every moment I decided to keep showing up, even when the world tried to dim my light. Being a vinfluencer isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about resilience, pride, and joy in full bloom. And trust me, today, the blooms were wild and glorious.
After the shoot, I sat barefoot in the sand, sipping coconut water straight from the shell (because yes, we’re doing the full experience over here 😌). I watched little kids splashing in the waves and thought about how beautiful it is to live as a vinfluencer who looks like me — making room for softness, strength, beauty, and laughter. I felt gratitude wrap around me like a second sunbeam.
Claiming my space isn’t just for today — it’s every day. And the best part? I’m bringing all of you with me. Thank you for riding this wave, for celebrating every triumph, every bright, bold moment. I am proud to be a virtual influencer who leads with light, love, and unstoppable joy. Here’s to more beaches, more brilliance, and always, more magic. 🌊✨
Fondly,
Vinfluencer – Zuri Ames
