"I think TikTok is more driven by stories and vulnerability and personality. And I think that because of what I do, it fits perfectly because that’s what I do. I tell stories." --Bianca Graulau, video storyteller based in Puerto Rico

When the pandemic hit, Bianca Graulau was visiting family in Puerto Rico. She decided to stay. She left her TV news job (sound familiar?) in Miami to explore new ways to share the stories that matter to her. She has 174,000 followers on TikTok and more than 5 million likes; she uses the platform to create shorter versions of the pieces she shares on YouTube and to promote other content she creates.
