@thecreatorclasspod: @herosheemaz has 3.5 million followers and more influence in beauty than creators ten times her size. Shima is one of the top creators in the world powering social media conversation around beauty. Number 6 by Earned Media Value globally. Number 3 by impressions. All from a platform smaller than almost every other creator on that list. The reason is trust. She built it by being brutally honest, even with the brands paying her. Especially with the brands paying her. That honesty has come with a cost. The Iranian regime banned her book. They banned her from going home. When her father passed six months ago, she couldn't attend his funeral. In this conversation, we get into the real cost of telling the truth, how she survived coordinated cancel campaigns, and what it takes to stay yourself when the world wants you to be someone else.
