byUBNGO
Chris Stanley is just a bundle of fun and positivity. He’s been heating up the content creator scene for over 5 years, becoming one of the first LGBTQ+ creators on TikTok to go viral, for a video featuring his mom reacting to explicit lyrics on a gay lip-sync video. From travel vlogs and meme videos to street interviews and heartfelt life sharing, he’s amassed well over 300 million views on his content, garnering the attention of Madonna herself. He is one of the fastest-growing queer content creators on the scene. And he does all the work himself. In this episode, we talk about his growing up, coming out, how he got into being a content creator, going viral, his love of the bear community, what the future holds in store, his message to his fans, and more.
