JoJo Siwa: While most regard TikTok as merely a platform for amusement, JoJo Siwa found a unique application for it: a safe space to come out. The 20-year-old viral sensation disclosed how she took to this popular platform, expressing herself through the lyrics of Lady Gaga’s anthem, “Born This Way” back in 2021. Despite being only 17 at the time, Siwa found solace in the online community. She revealed her belief that finding acceptance online, where like-minded supporters congregate, was simpler than facing the fear of rejection in the real world.
TikTok as an Artistic Outlet
In addition to being a source of courage during her coming out journey, Siwa also highlighted how TikTok serves as a platform for her creativity. In a world where influencers often face criticism and disregard, Siwa refutes the claim that anyone could do it, insisting that there is an underlying art to curating content on social media. Today, the young artist has firmly established herself in the digital sphere, constantly experimenting and adapting to its ever-changing dynamics.
Learning from the LGBTQ+ Icons
The “D.R.E.A.M” star didn’t forget to mention the critical role played by notable figures from the LGBTQ+ community in her journey. From collaborating with legendary musician Elton John for the Rocket Fund to drawing inspiration from the iconic Freddie Mercury, she acknowledged the significant impact these individuals have had on her. Siwa particularly expressed her admiration for Miley Cyrus, whom she referred to as an enduring icon.
Siwa, a rising star herself, is now eager to pay this inspiration forward. To those walking the path she once traversed, Siwa sends out a heartfelt message: “Embrace who you are. Understand that change, growth, and evolution are integral parts of life. Don’t confine yourself within a box. Never limit your potential.”
JoJo Siwa’s coming out journey, aided by social media, symbolises the power of digital platforms in creating a safe environment for self-expression. Her tale underlines how online spaces can be a sanctuary for individuals grappling with their identity, while simultaneously serving as a fertile ground for their creativity.
