When Presley was 7 years old, she was a big fan of YouTube like
many kids her age so she wanted to start her own channel. She
talked her family into starting a channel with her and she started
posting a video every day. What started out as just a fun project
turned into a way for Presley to explore the world and learn more
about herself in the process. From covering social justice events
to teaching science and Japanese and interviewing celebrities, she
has been on quite a journey the past five years. Some of her
primary causes have become supporting LGBT causes and talking to
people about why she is still hopeful for the future even when
things look bad these days, and that's what she's here to share
with us today.
