Over the four years I’ve been on TikTok, I’ve accelerated my learning in subjects that I can actively apply to my life, built friendships with people I never would have met otherwise, and pursued my dreams thanks to the connections I’ve made. Some of the people I’ve met through this platform have become some of the closest people in my life. I’ve also witnessed this app transform the lives of so many people who may never have had the same opportunities on other platforms.

In the fifteen years I’ve used Instagram and Facebook, I haven’t experienced anything close to what TikTok has done for me. Growing on those platforms is incredibly difficult without spending a fortune on promotions or hiring a company, and I’m constantly bombarded with ads for products I previously searched on Google.

We will not go quietly into the night.
