Citizen DJ

The Library of Congress has just released the “Citizen DJ” app, which offers royalty-free samples for hip-hop enthusiasts.

One of the sole influencers offering a parental bend to their posts, Chriselle Lim confidently opens each video with “Hey kids, it’s me: your rich mom” and offers a refreshing variety of posts from on-trend skits on how she takes breaks from parenting  and fashion tutorials and ernest advice on marriage and entrepreneurship. She nicely balances straightforward candor with irreverent flexing to a growing viewership of 1.5 million followers.
