A Role Model for Gen-Z
Martin became a target of internet trolls and cyberbullying as a result of his celebrity and success. Her meteoric climb to popularity was marred by snarky comments and internet vitriol.
She founded the #Arielmovement in order to stop cyberbullying. She wanted to speak up and offer support to her followers who had gone through something similar. Martin is without a doubt the ideal role model for Generation Z.
Musical.ly Journey
In an interview with Paper, the TikTok star revealed that she joined Musical.ly when she was 14 years old.
After her home was nearly destroyed by a flood, her entire family was housed in one of her grandparents’ rooms. So, instead of attending summer camps, she and her brother spent the most of their spare time on Musical.ly.
