Those were the words of Lou Neria Maestre Putian, more popularly known as Mother Lou, who not only has 1.6 million followers but has also managed to rake in millions, thanks to a business that was inspired by the social media platform.
As the days went by, Mother Lou’s followers noted that her helper’s skin was gradually whitening. It was only a matter of time before Mother Lou’s business grew, and she is now making millions via TikTok. “One of my teachers gave me the name ‘Walking Sari-sari Store’ because I would sell anything and everything, so that I could finish my schooling. Even if life was hard for me and my siblings, we managed to graduate and finish our studies. I even graduated with honors during my elementary and high school days,” she related.
