Seventeen cover

Mota appears on the cover of the October 2014 issue of Seventeen magazine. She talks about why she started her Youtube videos, growing up digital, and advice to girls trying to find a place in the world.

If YouTube isn’t your thing, maybe it’s a sport or something else you’re good at. There’s always something you can be the best at – you just have to look for it.
