Question 1.

What was your first impression when you first heard the #Optimismyourfeed campaign?

My first impression was that I wanted to be a part of this movement. I've always felt that too much social media can bring me down, and I felt like making my feed more positive-centric can be empowering.

"Optimism your feed" boosts positivity on social media. As a researcher, I emphasize controlling our online experiences for the better so that we can enjoy the perks of the 21st century without engaging in the negativity.

I love the idea of Optimism your feed because it's so important to see positive and uplifting content that makes people feel good about themselves. I love that LG is really emphasizing this and focusing on helping make algorithms that much brighter and happier so that we can keep spreading positivity. Especially now, when we need it more than ever!

Question 2.

What is your personal ‘Life’s Good’ moment?

Knowing when to stop up and enjoy the little things in life. Breaking bread with people I love, enjoying the nice weather, it’s really as simple as that.

I try to have a “Life's Good” moment every single day! Every day that I wake up and I'm blessed to be alive, have a beating heart, and have the ability to smile or connect with others is a day where I want to tap into gratitude and remember that life is good!

Painting, whether a mural, canvas, digital art, or watercolor, is my time to relax and reflect. It helps me appreciate the positive influence my art has on people's lives.

Question 3.

How do you ensure your content positively impacts teenagers and the public amidst social media algorithms?

I try my best to spread positive, relatable messages so that anyone listening to it going through something similar feels heard. I use food as a medium to tell stories and make nostalgic recipes that people can try out; I want to teach many teenagers watching my video not to villainize food or feel ashamed of their cultural food.

I made a promise on my social media accounts that I would not use filters or Photoshop. I make it a point to be my honest self, and that helps me connect with my followers in a more positive, self-loving way.

Question 4.

What are your thoughts on LG's definition of 'Life's Good' as a life filled with optimism and courageously embracing challenges?

I agree, and I also try to push myself to my boundaries. Also, I found that taking on a big challenge helps me appreciate the small, beautiful intricacies in life, seeing beauty in the mundane.

I love this definition by LG because while we might not always wake up in a good and positive mood every day, we can find it by training the optimism muscle in our mind.

You connect with various people through food and cooking. What do you think is the appeal of food and how big of a role does food take in your life?

Good food transcends language and brings people together, creating dialogue and connections. Sharing a meal is the best way to get to know someone.

What differentiation do you wish to create from other food content creators.

I aim to innovate, build a food empire, and push the boundaries of food content creation, inspired by the LG campaign to bridge TV and YouTube shows. Thanks, LG, for this opportunity!

How do our social media feeds influence our mental health and well-being off screen?

Social media can impact our mental health positively by providing community and joy, but also negatively through misinformation and toxicity.

Do you think this initiative will actually make a difference and create a more optimistic, positive social media experience for users? Why?

"Optimism your feed" aims to bring more positive content to social media and reminds us that we can control what we see. I hope it helps people find optimism and break free from negative scrolling habits.

Victoria Browne gently smiling with her chin on her hand.

When you are feeling pessimistic, what helps bring you back to a more positive mindset?

I take a break from my phone, go for a walk, chat with a friend or my husband, and disconnect from the constant influx of information.

What keeps you motivated to continue spreading your positive influence based on your experience?

I'm grateful my work reflects who I am, allowing me to show up authentically and stay connected with my community. The ability to connect with thousands daily and share our personal journeys is what motivates and excites me.

What emotions do you wish your audience to feel through your magic?

I love to see wonder and amusement in their eyes, you can feel it in the comment section too, people asking if it is real, people sending all king of emojis.

Why do you create content in everyday places: supermarkets, streets, amusement parks, bowling alleys, gyms, homes, beaches and even gas stations?

My character is a Real Life Wizard, I create unexpected magical moments everywhere I go. It’s a totally different approach than the traditional magician doing tricks on stage

What do you wish the public takes away from seeing your content and feed?

I want people to believe in living a happy life and valuing happy moments. Additionally, I aim to show that art and creativity can transform our lives and perspectives.

You always include some text in your artwork. Do you plan the text in your artwork ahead of time?

I usually write and draw letters and words that positively influence people's lives, that bring joy and that enable them to see the good side of life.
