I’m an overachiever and I want to be different.
The first post she remembers going viral is herLatina Mom InStranger Thingsvideo from July 2019.
Its now been viewed 3 million times.
I want to know people are going to remember, OK,shedid that.
Clearly, people remember her she has 1.5 million followers.
Ultimately, her creativity is what helps her content stand out among the echo chamber of some FYPs.
Her proud Latinx roots are her North Star when she brainstorms her videos.
Puerto Rico is a small island.
We don’t have much representation in present media and I love my culture.
Im so proud of it, she says.
If you’re Latina, you’re interested in the Latin side [of media].
Let me learn about the Puerto Rican culture too."
Below, Del Valle shares the last internet wormhole she fell through and her most successful DM slides.
What was the last Wikipedia hole you fell down?
I was obsessed with learning about his life.
You go on this wormhole and you just don’t come out.
Who’s your favorite person you’re following right now and why?
That’s really hard.
I’m going to say my friend @kodasteven.
He’s Puerto Rican as well and he just makes crazy, random content that’s just really funny.
What’s the best thing you’ve purchased on the internet recently?
I bought clip-on bangs because I wanted to cut my bangs, but I didn’t do it.
So I was like, all right, I’ll just buy a couple of clip-on ones.
Is there a person that followed you that you were most excited by?
And do you interact with them at all?
Yeah, recently, the voice of Kim Possible,Christy Carlson Romano, followed me.
It was really random, but I was like, “Girl, I love you.”
We talk every now and then.
She was my childhood, so that was cool.
Have you ever slid into someone’s DMs?
What came of it?
Then she responded and we actually met in person at a premiere.
It was super cool.
What’s the weirdest DM slide you’ve ever received?
Once, I posted this video about my height.
I remember my DMs pouring with men trying their pickup lines and the pickup lines were out of pocket.
