For the second year, TIME has compiled their list of the most influential people on the Internet – a list that includes York U’s own Lilly Singh (BA ‘10). This unranked list of heavy hitters was put together by measuring each individual’s global online impact and overall ability to drive news. Here’s what they had to say about Singh:
“Indo-Canadian vlogger Lilly Singh is rapidly becoming one of the biggest stars on YouTube, both on and off-screen. As alter ego Superwoman, she is equal parts funny and motivational, which has helped her amass more than 8 million subscribers and over 1.1 billion total views. She recently landed a national YouTube ad campaign and released her first feature film, a documentary chronicling her 27-city world tour, on YouTube’s new paid subscription service; it’s called “A Trip to Unicorn Island,” a nod to her fans, known as Unicorns.”
