Honestly, I have no idea who this person is. I wanted to learn more by reading the article but they lost me on "online influencer". Anyone identified as an influencer is an online cancer to me and I'm glad we didn't let it spread in Australia.

In my personal experience, she's mostly famous as someone that right-wing news can bring on and have their token woman and/or black person to tell all the trumpets that X thing is liked by women/the black community even when it's not.

She's listed as an influencer because that's what they bill her as and pay her for, but the influencing is secondary to that role. It's also an inevitable side effect because those racist trumpets can all go "oh shes one of the good ones" and do all the social media things and go "no of course I'm a good person, look at who I follow".

The only thing online I've ever seen about her from the black community is "race traitor for hire".
