Olivia Julianna, 21, is one of more than 200 digital content creators who has been given media credentials to the Democratic National Convention this week.
She has over a million followers across TikTok, Instagram and other accounts, in an age where more young people are learning the news through social media.
But she never imagined that her "very working-class" upbringing would lead her not only to the DNC — but in front of it.
We hear from the Texas native ahead of her speech to the convention.
