Doris Agyakwaa Brown, known widely as AJ Brown, has taken the social media world by storm in recent times.
With close to a million followers on TikTok alone and a significant following on other social media platforms, AJ Brown is a prominent figure whose influence extends far and wide.
In a recent address, she focused on the youth, particularly those in senior high schools in the country, to offer them some advice on responsible social media use.
AJ Brown acknowledged the vibrant presence of young people on various social media platforms, especially TikTok, where creativity thrives.
She stressed that TikTok, in particular, has become a favourite for many youth because of its engaging format and viral trends.
However, AJ Brown noted that this popularity comes with challenges because sometimes the content they share is inappropriate and above their age.“I see so many young people sharing content that is far too mature for their age,” she said.
“It’s important to remember that what you post online stays there forever. It can impact your future opportunities and how people perceive you,” she added.
AJ Brown also highlighted some negative behaviours she has observed on social media. These include posting provocative or erotic content, engaging in online bullying, and participating in harmful challenges.
She strongly advised against these actions, emphasising the long-term consequences they could have. “It might seem fun or trendy at the moment, but the internet never forgets,” she cautioned.
Drawing from her extensive experience as a content creator, AJ Brown encouraged the youth to leverage social media for positive purposes.
She advised young people to focus on content that showcases their talents, shares knowledge, or promotes positive values. “There’s so much good you can do with your platforms. You can inspire others, spread awareness about important issues, or share your journey in an uplifting way,” she explained further.
With her impressive following and years of experience navigating the digital landscape, AJ Brown’s advice comes from a place of understanding and care. “I’ve made my own mistakes and learned from them. I want to help others avoid the pitfalls I’ve encountered and use social media as a force for good,” she noted.
