Hello, coffee done. Welcome to an educational informational personal episode of Coffin Alliance

here the podcast are we're absolutely sure we don't know everything I have your host Kelsey Sarah here bringing you another fun hot topic

Episode and I actually have a very fun guest this week. She is a personal friend

She is an actress and tiktoker with over a million followers. We became friends when she was on my teen versus adult series in Buzzfeed

And she has her own very popular series on food and autism on tiktok called a sd eats where she talks about all things from getting a diagnosis later on in life

How she manages life on the internet as well as confronting constant conversation about her body image and marriage from you know complete strangers on the internet

What she's here to talk more about today welcome to the podcast

It's so good to have you on where pals I want to reverse back in time back to how we actually met we met on the Buzzfeed as is series teen versus adult

Do you remember that day shooting?

Man, not really. It's more like a feeling. I remember the feeling. What was wonderful?

Oh good admiration just like obsession. I was like wow she's so beautiful. She's so talented.

Oh please you are so great and the Buzzfeed audience loved you.

And I think like jumping into my first question is we also had a guest right in actually about this that they wanted to ask you like how has being shaped as a teen by the public maybe not always catered to your best interest and just for those listening you how old are you now 23

You're like a full-ass adult grown-ass woman and when you're on Buzzfeed you were 18

Yes so technically I was a full-ass adult then as well. This is funny because most people didn't know like they just hired me because I look young

They really they they thought you know I think it's like not only your appearance but like how bubbly and like bright you are and I think people equate that and they sort of infantilize you

What's like your thoughts on what that situation is like on the internet?

So that wasn't even just the internet because I guess I started doing internet things when I was about 16 17

So whenever I talk about kind of my life it's funny because it hasn't been that long so far. It's been pretty pretty short and so things are

I don't even know how to put it whenever I talk about like my past I'm like I feel like it was yesterday and so prior to that you know it was my same history growing up in school or with friends or my family like it wasn't just the internet

I've probably been infantilized like as long as I can remember and I think that definitely shaped me as a person in a lot of ways

And I would say in a lot of positive ways honestly though because I always really appreciated it I always had very strong role models in my life and I always had a lot of people that really protected me and looked out for me
