With the success of the content, Ju is reaching beyond her experiences, to be able to diversify the recommendations. For this, she relies on reports and questions from followers, media cases and routines from known people. “The suggestions that are not in my area of coexistence, I really try to discover them, I do research, I ask other women who experience such a reality and I collect all this to be able to talk about it,” she explains.

In addition to the videos posted on social media, the digital influencer holds sporadic conferences. For “the near future”, the idea is to expand the scope of its contents, teach its own course and carry out social projects with this bias. “I want to be able to bring information to as many women as possible,” she points out.
Threats, triggers and other challenges
Even with relevant and informative content, Ju also suffers attacks on his profiles. “The challenges are disbelief, ridicule, often from men, saying things like, ‘If you need this to get out of the house, better lock yourself up’ or ‘That’s overkill.’ It’s a disservice. I feel a little sad at times,” she says.
Ju also reports that she has already faced threats for sharing certain situations, especially in videos reacting to them. “There are people who go into politics and threaten me, insult me…”, she says.
Another major challenge for the digital influencer is the pressure to frequently address issues related to violence against women, often with reports and evidence in pictures submitted by her followers. According to her, “there are certain things that are triggers” and “cause anxiety and different feelings.” So while it upsets me that I can’t follow them all, I understand the importance of filtering topics.
“There are situations where I have to stop and think how far I can help, when that person needs deeper help, like a police station, for example. I have to know how to guide the woman to seek this help,” she reflects. .
To deal with such sensitive issues and maintain mental health, Ju performs therapy and even encourages everyone to practice.
