Summary
Elyse Myers is a content creator and comedian best known for her viral storytime videos. Before becoming a creator, she ran her own web design business. Myers’s life changed when she started making videos during the pandemic as a creative outlet. When a video she made about a horrible first date went viral on TikTok, she earned millions of views and thousands of followers overnight. Her audience continued to grow as she shared more hilarious true stories from her life, posting videos and skits about everything from embarrassing childhood memories to her struggles with ADHD, OCD, anxiety, and depression. Today, she has more than 12 million followers across platforms who have dubbed her “the internet’s best friend” for her willingness to be vulnerable with her massive audience about her personal life. Now, she's going even deeper in her debut book, That’s a Great Question, I’d Love to Tell You, an open and honest collection of stories about growing up and finding love while navigating neurodivergence.
