Coming Up

While growing up, LJ faced two major turning points in her life. Pre-diabetic since she was in elementary school, after hearing the cold facts about the disease from her doctor, she decided that a change in her diet, to get healthier, was warranted since diabetes runs in her family. She also faced adversity at school from other students, who teased her for being overweight. For a segment on Under Dogs Collective, LJ created a video about bullying and discussed her pre-diabetic condition.

Lillee Jean, an artsy child, began creating stop-motion blogs for her American Girl dolls at a very young age as an early example of her interest in the arts. As she grew up, she began watching YouTube makeup tutorial videos, and became fascinated by the artistry that other artists had created using different techniques, textures, and colors. She eventually created her own YouTube channel, as well as self-published her tutorials on her blog (which she called "thaeyeballqueen") as well as posted looks to the Beautylish community forums.

She has evolved as an artist over the years, bringing not only her web-series, which can be viewed on both her website and her YouTube channel, but also her love of Cosplay, digital art, and lifestyle blogs to her fans.

Women empowerment. Enviornment. Online Bullying.

When she was a teenager, Lillee Jean was the target of an online cyberbullying campaign by a group of people who tried to isolate, stalk, degrade, threaten, and slander her. These cybercriminals repeated doxxing, called in fake police tips, and swatted her over and over again, believing they were simply "having fun" with the Internet. Her physical and mental health suffered greatly as a result of the irresponsible actions of these nameless, faceless individuals. Through her blog and websites, she has documented her painful journey of cyberbullying, as well as updated her fans on the experience. A number of articles have been written on her behalf on the subject and eventually she wrote her own Op-Ed piece for Medium Magazine about Anti-Semitism as well as online bullying in general. As a result of her desire to spread the word about this issue, she has addressed the subject to her fans, often doing Live content with them, to discuss actions towards the future as well as motivation.

Her other passion is climate change, and, spreading the word about the devastation we face as a planet if our ways do not change. She was requested by Choose Today, an Oslo, Norway company made up of entrepreneurs, engineers, and climate change experts, to help spread the word with a video and photo campaign in 2018. Additionally, she joined the UNFCCC in spreading awareness on the environment through an Instagram video. As a result of this experience, she created her own Instagram account called 1Change4Change to discuss plastic pollution in the world.

In Winter, 2021, she featured entrepreneur Shalini Vadhera on Instagram TV to discuss the company's upcoming initiatives to empower women in India to become independent of others and build sustainable futures for themselves. That same year, she teamed up with Inspiring Girls, for their #Thislittlegirlisme campaign, to inspire the next generation of young entrepreneurs

Lillee Jean believes in using her platform to hold conversations with her fans about issues that are important to her, as well as to them. In the aftermath of the pandemic, she urged her fans to stay safe by wearing a mask and practicing social distancing. She herself has received a full vaccination in the Summer of 2021.
