Queer creator and TikTok star Max Hovey takes a seat on our sofa to dish the dirt on how he traded in life as a “Facetuned Insta gay” for self-love and a renewed sense of purpose.
Tune in as Max shares how he intends to use his platform to be a voice for the underrepresented and eradicate the stigma surrounding mental health and body positivity. He also spills the tea on the darker side of influencer culture, wanting to become an influencer for all the wrong reasons, only to find true success when he started to share his authentic self.
Max shares all in this candid (and juicy) episode of The Outtakes!
