Political Correspondent for Inside the Issues Amrit Singh talks to two social media influencers, Gia Fey and Jazzmyne, about why they decided to pursue social media fame.

They gave insight into how they use the different social media platforms, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, to serve their varying audiences.

Since they are continuously sharing an intimate side of themselves, they also receive negative criticism and can find it hard to read those types of comments day after day.

"You really have to stay true to yourself and not allow those comments to infiltrate your brain," Fey said.

Jazzmyne shared her original way of addressing people who leave negative comments.

"I'll only engage with people who are rude, if I've said something nice to everyone who has said something nice to me, because I'm not going to show attention to someone who's being rude and not say thank you to everyone that's been supporting me," she said.
