As a young woman, I naturally look for people to look up to. I’m not too heavy on social media, but whenever I’m on there, I find myself looking at the same few people. It’s easy to follow along with certain celebrities, especially when they are constantly posting on their social media accounts and you can follow their lives as if you know them personally.
Savannah Montano is a 19-year-old entrepreneur from South Florida that I've been following closely since she emerged into the Internet. Now, she's not what I would call "famous" but she is definitely on the way to creating a small empire of a business seeing she has become more successful than most at her age. She has her own clothing line, website, and has a following of over one million people on Instagram, and over 600 thousand on Twitter.
She started off as a blogger on Tumblr, posted on the six-second video app, Vine, and created cute and bibbly YouTube videos of herself and her boyfriend when she was probably around fifteen years old. It seemed like her big group of friends blew up on the Internet world and everyone seemed to care about these people. They were stylish, wealthy, and they seemed to have pretty decent lives.
Savannah exploded with Internet fame far more than anyone else did. She's known for her small physique and her interesting but beautiful features. She uploads fitness videos and what she eats in a day to her Snapchat (savmontanox) because her following is obsessed with what she does in a day. She has recently turned pescatarian (diet of no meat, only fish) and has also cut out dairy and eggs. Montano is now shining a new light and using her following to introduce people to this new lifestyle of less cruelty to her body and the environment. She is vocal about how animals are harmed and is looking into going full-on vegan. This is no doubt the most exciting thing she has done so far. To use your high following for good is very respectful if I do say so myself.
Her clothing line, Disruptive Youth, was created sometime in 2014. Montano always had an interesting, decadent style, simple but also classy with some beach flare. Her style was so popular that she decided to create this website full of what she would wear when it comes to clothing, jewelry, and other accessories.
Now, she posts almost daily to social media. She uploads YouTube videos with her boyfriend, Jessey Stevens, who is a male model.
She is becoming one of the Internet’s most famous young adults, using her voice to spread positive messages and expressing herself through body positivity and genuine joy.
