Ida, similar to the majority of the adults that joined the Tiktok in 2020, was reluctant at first.

She now has a community of almost 300,000 across Tiktok & Instagram and is still growing strong. She is now a Speaker, a Bestselling Author and a Tiktok & Instagram Reels Coach. She has helped other entrepreneurs, medical practitioners, social media influencers, authors and more, grow their audiences and promote their products using the strategies that propelled her to where she is today.
