    Who is SheRa Seven?
    SheRa is a self-styled “financial adviser”, social media influencer and author.
    Her field of expertise is counselling women over the age of 25 on how to manipulate older, wealthy men into dating them.
    She contends that once her followers have tricked these affluent men into dating them — using tactics including reverse psychology and barefaced lies — they should insist that they pay all of their household bills.
    Seven refers to men without vast amounts of money to spend on their partner’s expenses as “dusties” — these guys should be avoided at all costs, she teaches.

    Her advice includes hiding any insecurities you may have from your potential partners.
    For example, if you are feeling jealous because a man you are dating won’t answer the phone, SheRa says you should pretend you were calling because you had a flat tyre, but tell them that as they weren’t available, you had to get another man to help you.
    She also argues that women don’t need to take on domestic chores such as cooking and cleaning in exchange for this financial support, because a man with money can pay for people to do such menial tasks.
    The woman’s job is to be worshipped and look their best, according to SheRa.

    Sprinkle sprinkle!SheRa Seven
    However, she argues that the appearance of any potential male you might be looking to date is entirely unimportant — what matters is his bank balance.
    Seven follows all of her most sage advice with her catchphrase: “Sprinkle sprinkle!”
    What is SheRa Seven’s real name?
    According to her Instagram and Facebook profiles, SheRa’s real name is Leticia Padua.
    She is also often referred to by her fans as “the Sprinkle Sprinkle Lady.”
    Although she is very upfront about sharing her ‘financial advice’ with her followers, she mostly keeps her personal life out of the public spotlight.
    When did SheRa Seven first rise to fame?
    SheRa has been making YouTube videos since 2014.
    Seven currently has 582,000 followers on YouTube, and her videos have been viewed around 20billion times on TikTok.
    Her first book, which is titled Too Pretty to Pay Bills: Keys to Gold Digging Success: Tips on How to Have the Life You Deserve as a Woman!, was published in 2017.
    Is SheRa Seven married?
    Yes, SheRa is married to James Scott.
    According to his LinkedIn profile, James graduated from the University of Maryland’s Business School in 1980 and works for a tech company as a developer and integration specialist.
    SheRa has mentioned in her live streams that her husband is several years older than she is and also explained how they met.
    She said: “I was sitting there sipping on whatever I was drinking and my husband walks over to me, you know, and by this time I’m sick and tired of guys not being able to meet my standards, I’m just gonna be rude. Okay?
    “First of all, I didn’t want to talk to him because he wasn’t my type at all. He was not my type. Ladies, that’s why I say don’t get hung up on looks because that could be your husband.”
    SheRa went on to tell James he had two minutes to buy her a drink, which he did, but she said she couldn’t go out with him because she had work later that day.

    But not taking no for an answer, he paid her the money she would have earned that day, which changed her mind.
    Following some high-end wining and dining, SheRa was suitably impressed, and the rest is history. More

    And Johnny doesn’t just keep his brothers close to his heart, revealing that he carries a Feis Ceoil medal his father won in the 1930s when he is on stage performing.
    He said: “When he died, I lost my voice for a while and whenever I sing I put this on and I feel he comes on stage with me and it’s something physical I can touch.

    TikTok MENA on how digital and social media innovation is growing in the region

    Lifestyle

    by Camille Macawili
    1 hour ago

    At the forefront of content creation lies TikTok with its innovative social algorithm that allows large traction within seconds.
    To understand more, Emirates Woman speaks to Hany Kamel, Content Partnerships Manager TikTok MENA on digital and social media innovation in the region.
    What do the first 30 minutes of your day look like, your morning routine?
    I usually try to wake up early to give myself time to get ready for the day. I have my breakfast and listen to some music just to set the mood for the rest of the day and before I get to work. After this, I spend a few minutes scrolling through TikTok. It inspires me every day to see new and upcoming creators sharing authentically with their audiences or even trends that have started on the platform. I  always discover new talent through this medium.
    Can you talk us through your career and how you ended up in your position as Content Partnerships Manager with TikTok?
    Previously, I was a journalist in Egypt, where my work had always included investigating interesting and niche topics that I would then develop into stories, and this has been my passion ever since. I joined TikTok four years ago with the aim of exploring new stories and talent through the lens of TikTok, helping nurture and showcase the incredible creative talent we have here in the region.
    How does your role drive the business forward and what have been the clear goals?
    My role is quite diverse. It includes planning a variety of in-app activations and engaging campaigns for the community, music selection, and working on user management for the platform. I dedicate myself to leveling up the content in the MENA region by exploring unique talents in every category on the platform and helping them grow their talents and elevate their content.
    I feel privileged to have the opportunity to work towards these goals and help to drive the business forward and reach exciting milestones. At the end of last year, we worked to enhance the entertainment narrative for the community. Since we have an active community of movie lovers and TV series reviewers, we launched #WhatToWatch which is an entertainment hub on TikTok that not only highlights reviews but also inspires and celebrates some of their favourites. We also managed to create partnerships with movie festivals across the region. This helped us to level up the young filmmakers to use their talents and skills in the movie-making industry.
    How is the MENA region interacting with content on TikTok, how do you keep innovating to ensure the content is fresh and engaging?
     TikTok’s prominence in the Arab world is expanding due to the platform’s one-of-a-kind approach which prioritizes engaging and authentic short-form video content. The content you see on TikTok is easy to create and discover, and users feel comfortable on the platform engaging with one another, becoming part of unique communities both locally and globally, and of course, being entertained.
    In order to ensure the content is fresh and engaging, users need to feel safe expressing themselves. To foster a welcoming and supportive community, TikTok has various app settings that allow individuals to control their TikTok experience, in addition to our Community Guidelines, which work to safeguard our users. We have also introduced various safety controls and campaigns available on the platform, including Screen Time Management and increasing the age to go LIVE to 18 years and above.

    TikTok has become extremely popular, especially in Saudi Arabia – what do you think keeps it relevant and people posting?
    People come to the platform to create and engage with diverse and welcoming communities; giving us a unique position in the market. This has led to authentic connections, grassroots movements, and the birthplace of culture, created by communities on the platform. Every community can find its home on TikTok and I believe this is one of the key reasons the platform has become popular in Saudi Arabia. All kinds of interests, such as gaming, food, fashion, sports or even cultural occasions like Ramadan, which are all very relevant to the Saudi audience, are represented on the platform.

    Have you had any mentors to date and what knowledge did they impart?
    My father has been my mentor since day one, he is a self-made man, he taught me how to be honest, how to respect others and how to always speak my mind no matter what, he was (and still) inspires me to do better and how one should always seek opportunities and develop themself no matter what. When I was a journalist he used to talk to me about everything, now that my work is a bit different and complex to understand he still feels proud anytime he sees my work or hears about it, and this is my biggest motivation everyday.
    How do you maintain clarity in your work life and work practice?
    I maintain clarity by having a clear goal set in place throughout all my projects, and through constant communication with my talented colleagues. We are all committed to working towards a shared goal – namely, inspiring our community to create meaningful and authentic content, and further nurturing creative talents in our region, and this goal fuels everything we do.
    What are the top 3 tips for someone who is downloading TikTok for the first time?

    Engage with content that you enjoy and would like to see to have a better viewing experience on your For You page.
    Explore our various communities, ranging from #BookTok to #MomTok to #TechTok, to find like-minded people or discover new interests.
    Don’t be afraid to start creating. TikTok’s assortment of creator tools ranging from Duets, Stitch, Effects, and Sounds make it easy and fun to join the conversation.

    What piece of advice would you give to someone entering the Social Media career space?
    The number one piece of advice would be to create content that is authentic, spontaneous and genuine because people want to see and engage with real-life experiences that are relevant to them.
    This is “The Innovation Issue”, what does innovation mean to you?
    Innovation is a driving force of economic growth. It means creating new ideas, products and services that have the potential to solve problems and improve our lives. To be innovative to me is to be creative and think outside of the box by coming up with ideas that can benefit the community and create new opportunities for them; for example how some of our TikTok creators turned their passions into careers as content creators, proving how it such a powerful tool that we need to embrace and encourage.
