the experiences of her
family and friends. Li’s
clothing line has been shown in five New York
Fashion Week events and her clothes can be

@reggiecouz
After watching a few of his videos,
it’s clear that Reggie Couz’s ability
to combine his musical talent
with comedy is what makes him
stand out in the heavily saturated
digital space. Reggie established
his fanbase on Vine before he
successfully crossed over to
YouTube where his videos have
garnered over 64 million views. At
requests of his supporters, the
multi-talented rising star has plans
to create long-form content next
year which definitely makes Reggie
one to watch in 2018.
