I actually cannot link the Women's Health story because you need a membership, but it's titled "The Influencers are not Alright." This business is still fairly new and I think we will learn so much years from now. I'm honored to be part of this inception starting late in 2018, but man I will never get used to being videotaped in public and followed around! As mentioned, the excitement of studying has already helped me balance out the deep fry of my brain. I hope to continue this good mental health streak and never caving into the NYC it-girl lifestyle again. The more I get to know myself the more I despise this industry but want to help make a change.
I wish you could meet my auntie. She's a 65 yr old jazz singer who is a self starter, can never seem to stay in one place, and is full of adventure. I think of her every time you drop a video. Anyway, keep being awesome
Can u link ur outfit including sneakers ?? Pretty pls💕💕🥳💐🎄🌺🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

You are just a child of God and you are no better than the God that you served.
John 15:18-21
Jesus said to his disciples, "If the world hates you, be aware that it hated me before it hated you. If you belonged to the world, the world would love you as its own. Because you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world-therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, 'Servants are not greater than their master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also.
It is the greatest honor of all. Embrace it. God is with his beloved.😘😘😘 You have hater you are doing right😏😏😝😝
Advice from me, a TH-camr with 1.6 mill subs, who is your mother's age 😃: ALWAYS put God first Kelly, no matter the cost.
"The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever." Galatians 2:20
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5, 6
♥️🙏🏾
Amen 🙏🏽
Amen! The best advice ever!
Amen!
You're on the path to spiritual rewards and a better channel if you follow the advice of the lady with 1.6 million subscribers the correct way.
I'm not religious at all, but I think the brands that dumped you have shown poor judgement. Faith shared respectfully shouldn't be controversial. Thanks for telling the truth, and keep doing what you do best!!
I asked for an explanation and they gave me NONE. However one brand hinted saying that it’s because it’s embedded with hate in America and I’m accountable lol. But if you really look at history, it wasn’t until later on that it became wrapped in that southern evangelicalism and politics. There’s a documentary on TH-cam about this and I found it quite interesting. I just think it’s silly to group everybody and say that we all are spreading hate lol.
Granted this was during election time in 2020 but still
I think that brands have every right to drop influencers that don’t reflect what they represent. There’s nothing wrong with that.
@@midorimoon.1276 there is something wrong if theyre showing prejudice
I read contracts very carefully and this one didn’t mention anything about religion. But it did say that: the creator cannot promote violence, competitive brands or alcohol or hateful behavior. They literally deemed Christianity as hateful behavior. It was straight up prejudice. The irony 😡
I am not Christian, but I never felt offended about you talking about your faith. In fact, I thought it was interesting and I love your authenticity.
Historical Evidence for the Son of God Jesus Christ and his Ressurection:
Flavius Josephus 1st Century Historian - Testified of Jesus Christs Existance and Ressurection
Tacitus, Roman Historian wrote between 115 - 117ad - Testified of Jesus Christ's Existence.
Jewish Biblical Literature, Tanakh Period 70-200ad Sanhedrin 43a - Testified Jesus Christ Existed and Death.
You can believe Jesus was real and still not be a christian or just not religious, you can even believe in the resurrection .
I think the internet has caused people to not understand parasocial relationships and how to maneuver recognizing someone you think you know but remembering that they don’t know you. The internet is a weird place
!!!
The thing about parasocial relationships is exactly what TH-camr Tibees said she did not want to foster, so she kept her YT but shut down her IG and Discord accounts.
As a Christian you talking about things without filtering your faith or downplaying because of other viewers really helps me and makes me appreciate you more than another TH-camr in your similar bracket, the things that separate you makes you shine more as yourself truly, so thank you!😊
Yes I wish I talked more about it before! But I also was very passive until things started to get weird over the past few years. I still don’t attend church regularly but I enjoy reading the Bible. I didn’t find it interesting before but now that I am finally being tested everything makes complete sense!!!
@@KellyStamps I think it's quite common for people who have removed themselves from toxic Narcissistic families to get closer to God. I'm 3 years NC from parents and siblings and couldn't be happier. I pray everyday and get all the discerment i need to see and remove myself from toxic people IRL and online. Love your channel... Stay in the Truth and the Light!
@@KellyStampsbible in a year with Fr Mike Schmitz is good too😊
@@Thehugomacthat or pushed the other way. I ended up doing both and now that I choose not to associate myself with certain ppl who were abusive I’m being called hateful and not from God 🙃 never once have I prayed for ppls downfall or revenge but now I’m hateful. K
@@KellyStamps Before you read your bible each time, ask the Lord to open your heart and mind too whatever truth He has for you that day. ❤🕯
I once worked in Non Profit/Social Work, and during one of our safety meetings, our Coordinator said, “ don’t put anyone’s comfort above your safety. Your safety come first “. She was talking in about fieldwork, but what is life if not fieldwork.
This is important!
Wow...that needs to be put on t-shirts!
@@drebugsita I agree 👍
"I'm gonna be the odd one out forever" I feel that 100%😭💯
same
You’re so right about there being something demonic about becoming addicted to internet success
Ooh I have a LOT to say about people idolizing or having idols in general. I'm looked at like narcissistic psychopath when I say I've never had an idol or a celebrity idol etc. It's so weird to me for people to worship others. I think it creates an unhealthy obsession that can absolutely lead to safety issues for the idol, and unhealthy self esteem issues for the fans. I love enjoying the art, literature and talent of people that entertain or inspire me, but I don't think I'll ever understand devotions to celebrities or influencers. Be safe, Kelly!
Lmao do you even know the definition of narcissism and psychopath??
Agreed! I will always appreciate the work people put into their creativity, but I find it beyond weird to idolize/worship another human being.
This is exactly what I am like. My life is far too busy and valuable to me be so tied up or obsessed with celebrity or public figure. I'm much more focused on my own life, goals and dreams and sometimes I even feel a little sorry for stans because it seems they have no life of their own. Imagine your own existence just being worship of someone else?.
@@tessy28 agree 100%!
Yeah from a very young age I was warned about not idolising anyone or obsessing over anything, even though I hadn’t done it. I still don’t believe in idolatry, although there are details that can be admired occasionally, but beyond that, a full-on fixation is cringey, and more often than not, unhealthy.
Two things I’ve learned about college is
1) It is for networking, so take advantage and
2) You can go at ANY pace. My lab mates last semester was a 45 year old mother of 3 and a 30 year old military dude. I’m in my 20’s working towards a career I will actually enjoy and have the best use of my skills. There’s no right or wrong way to do college- something I wish I knew in high school
Hey I really appreciate you saying that. I've been waffling on whether to get my Masters and part of my hesitancy was this internal drive to compete with my cousins and finish it as quickly as they did. But I'm not them and they aren't me so I can take as long as I need. You really freed me up. God bless you for that advice.
Never go against God for the world Kelly👏👏👏👏👏
Beautiful quote !
💯 ...do not do it!!!
Yelp
Why not
Exactly 😁
I am so very proud of you for being upfront about your faith!
“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.” Matthew 5:11(NIV)
Continue to grow your faith and your channel! The Lord will keep you, who cares what others say!
Here! Here!😊
Amen!
Amen 🙏🏾

I'm noticing in the last couple of years a lot of people are doing the whole "living in my car/van life" vlog thing and some of them seem to have issues with people following them around and trying to approach them after figuring out where they were from their videos, so creepy. I think in the next few years we will definitely be seeing a lot of these kids from these "family" vlog channels speaking out against and suing their parents, so many of them are basically working to make money for their parents and they didn't sign up for that kind of life where they are famous and have no privacy.
I think about the sometimes!! The kid is not a prop and will eventually grow up! People do anything for coins I guess.It's so weird to me. Showing their school uniforms and everything.
I watched a video essay about this 🥺
@@Yocyndie where?
@@chaosswa-ee-ty5911 most likely from the internet analysis series by the wonderful @tiffanyferg
Making TH-cam videos is draining, exciting, terrifying, amazing, and exhilarating all at the same time. I can’t imagine the amount of “noise” you have to sift through as a larger influencer. But you got this girl ❤
Well said! Thanks for this comment because I couldn’t have said it better myself.
Exactly. I am not as big as you nor Kelly, but it takes a toll to put yourself out there. Then again, we must put ourselves out there because we have a voice, and willing to share something important. Whether it is important to us, your audiences, or both👏🏾‼️
I love that you've stuck to your guns and refuse to not be your authentic self. Keep being quirky. Keep talking about God. The Stampede is here for all of it!! Keep up the Good work 👏 🙌
Kelly We Love You for You.... There Is Not a Single Soul On the Internet Like You .. Just Be You! and We Love You
Thank you!!
There's nothing wrong with being a Christian! 🙂 Feel free to talk about God more if you'd like! 🙂
🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳❤❤❤👏👏👏👏
🎯💯❤️
‼‼‼‼
Yes, share your faith if you want. You never now who needs to hear about God/Jesus. 💙
💯
That bit on addictions is so true. I was legit just ranted about this on Twitter/IG and how this whole thing is a rat race with NO END. You hit 1k then you want 10k then you want 100k then 1m then 10m. It keeps going. Defff feel you on not wanting to be "famous". Getting approached by strangers is SO WILD.
It will never feel like enough! I kind of wish that social media never became a thing lol. But I’m glad that I’m able to participate and share these messages.
These are the conversations we need to be having with our audiences about being a creator. Shout outs to you for this topic.
I went through something similar. And I realized if I don't put God first in everything I do, everything falls. We can't idolize ourselves and worship God. And the whole world of social media is about worshipping yourself. What worked for me was leaving social media for good. I hope you can continue your authentic journey in your faith ❤️
As a Christian, I've been watching your videos for years (i forgot how long) so seeing you slowly talk about your journey with God and not being ashamed of it (esp rn at this era) makes me so happy! I've always loved your brilliant mindset since I've first saw your old videos and I just had a feeling you would be the type who would be both logical & philosophical when it comes to religion, which turned out true! (cuz u alrdy are brilliant like that with the concept of life!)
Im so thrilled that we have similar concepts when it comes to being a Christian (such as how I also don't often attend church since being a Christian isn't rlly about your good deeds, its literally about ur personal relationship with God and your heart for redemption; plus the Bible said so too, that its not about how many times you go to church or how many verses you memorize, its about how your heart is with God) (which is why Im wary of ppl who brag too much abt the amount of times they attend Church or memorize verses cuz..yk wat that means)
honestly i could go on and on about this, such as how its easy for ppl to call themselves a Christian but not actually be a Christian and yet other people for some reason don't get that and instead believe if this "Christian" is bad then all "Christians" are bad. Or how complex the Bible is and others take it too literally. Idk! Its so much but I would so love to hear all your thoughts on this someday if possible.
But anyways, just wanted to say I'm so happy for you, rlly! Sending love & prayers!
I'm Eastern Orthodox and I applaud you for being so open! Props to you for knowing your worth and your priorities! Thank you for talking about this so openly it's so relatable!
My family is Catholic but I'm not really religious. There are good and bad people everywhere regardless of religion. And we can learn things from anyone regardless of who they are or where they come from. Ms. Stamps, I've learned so much from you! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and life experiences. You keep doing you.
Hi Kelly, I do believe that you are strong for upholding your faith. It’s inspirational and I pray that God gives you the strength to keep pushing forward.
Kelly, I check in on your videos every once in a while, and I can say you are a breath of fresh air. You are filled with so much wisdom and grace, you are the ONLY person on the internet who’s audience holds the same energy as you. There are no wars, no negativity, no hate, and I think that is so fascinating and refreshing to see. You hold yourself with such confidence and I can tell by the comments on every single video that you have positively impacted so many peoples lives, even if in the smallest of ways. Keep unapologetically being you. I look forward to watching more videos from you.
“ I’m never quitting the internet, I’m just too good at this” - Kelly Stamps ( I love this statement! )
Great video Kelly! Love your channel and your transparency. 💜
I’m not a Christian, I’m actually agnostic, but I don’t mind people talking about their faith. I appreciate when people pray for me, it’s so special that they went to their highest power about me. I love seeing Christians who are actually letting the spirit of their God use them for good. I hate those who tell people they’re going to hell and that God doesn’t love them. Keep letting light shine through you and if you want to share your faith, then share your faith
This is a great life lesson in general. Be safe, set boundaries and be happy.
Girl I’m with you the struggle is real not buying açaí bowls daily
We have this place called Nektar in California and it is seriously the best bowl I’ve ever had. It’s not bitter, it’s not overly sweet and the local delivery is so fast. No soggy granola!!
@@KellyStampsFruit and acai bowls are so good for you though- what better way to spend money. Health is wealth. Travel and good food can take all my money 😄. While we're on the subject of travel, you should take a trip to the Bahamas, exuma specifically its incredible. Take a nice rest on a beautiful beach away from everyone. No working just peace and happiness. 😎
I’m more spiritual than anything- but never have I been turned off hearing you just mentioning your faith. In fact - you continue to be one of my favorite TH-camrs! Those brands need to reevaluate themselves. Wishing you all of the success 💕
I am so sorry that you have to deal with stalkers. That is so scary. I think it is brave that you keep on positing. I really love your content, but knowing how much risk it takes to go public with your life it truly is daunting. Take care of yourself and stay safe
You’ve always made your page feel like a hilarious and non-judgmental space for anyone who enjoys the content. As a queer woman with lots of Christian family, it’s really no big deal. Christianity isn’t hateful by default, regardless of the way many have weaponized it for their racist and homophobic agendas, especially in the US. What you said was super relatable and interesting, sorry you’re dealing with the repercussions of some bad people, you deserve better and I will always be here supporting you💜
There's always a confidence attached to declaring your faith and there's no cause for fear of being dejected. In every level as an influencer, there's a devil. You've got a very elastic body and i kinda appreciate that.
It’s so refreshing to hear you talk about your faith so openly ❤️ It matters and it helps people!
your fun/good/quirky qualities are abundant and I enjoy them via your videos but the faith thing made me love watching even more! I hope you're encouraged to keep strong in your convictions and never lose sight of what's important. You're doing amazing, sweetie.
You keep releasing videos the days I reflect on the insanity of being a creator, envy of others, and just trying to be yourself. Makes me feel sane (lol)!
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your honesty and vulnerability and willingness to let us hear your thoughts about your experiences. I learn a lot from you, and I admire your bravery. What you’re doing is important. Thank you for your work.
This video came at a nice time since I was feeling a bit down mentally but hearing kelly share her struggles and stay positive helps me feel better
One of my fave video from you. For what its worth, I’m proud of you. God bless you girl ❤️
realist creator on this platform! we respect and love u kelly, thanks for enlightening us as always :)
I’ve always loved your authenticity Kelly! Thank you for sharing your faith ❤️
Girl the way I’m on the same journey at 23! Going back to school and being ostracized for my faith and struggling. Proud of you! Never back down❤️
Really loving this grown woman era! You living your own life is truly an inspiration for me. I love when people stand in their own right, even if they don’t always feel secure in it and STILL stand for themselves. You go girl!!
You are so real and refreshing. I love that you've stayed true to that even after exploding into fame ♡
Thank you for being so open and honest! One of my fave things about you:) 🫂
you’re such a breathe of fresh air and literally inspire me constantly to keep being myself and not comparing to other people ❤
I really love how your channel has evolved as well as you 🤍 I started following you a year and a half ago and youve been giving such interesting and important insight about life as a young independent woman (i actually live alone since only a year ago!). But what made me want to stay for real (apart from your realness) is your openness about your faith since i am a christian as well and it's been such a ride when you live alone and you question things while meet new people. I am glad we have such a similar experience, it gives so much comfort 🫶🏻 Wishing you the best for the years to come and can't wait to see where life takes you! And how we can learn from your future experiences. Thank you for sharing your life and thoughts ❤ Rest assured there is always someone who will resonate with you.
hey wanted to say thank you, Kelly, for talking about your faith and staying strong... I think in another video you were talking about how things would work out well in a kind of magical way, and you were sitting in sunlight. it helped me through some tough feelings too. Have a lovely winter+ God is always with you
People are going to judge and criticize no matter what. Just keep doing you and be happy. As for the stalker thing, caution is necessary. Lots of weirdos out there.
Thank you so much for sharing your faith, standing your ground, and committing to genuine authenticity Kelly! Your strength is inspiring! Keep it up girl! 🔥🙌🏼
gimmie the reallllll!!! thank you for sharing! i love that you encourage us to try AND are honest in telling us about the hard parts too :,) both truths can exist at once!
Kelly, keep being true to YOU. It’s why the Stampede is here.
Sending ✨air hugs✨from San Diego.💞
Thank you your videos help me. it bothers me that status is such a powerful force. so many are viewed as low status despite having tremendous value. I wish people weren’t so petty and don’t know where to go from here.
you bringing the things done in the dark to light is powerful. we overcome by the Blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. I didn't know you were Christian (sorry, I've been offline for a bit) but this video is an encouragement. you deserve safety & normalcy. wishing you the best
KELLY, Im so proud of you!!! You did exactly what I was trying to tell you to do, if you ever even read my comment! A part time job, OR schedule a class or to just to plug back in to society. Also staying strong with religious beliefs. If these things work for you in the smallest way, it is totally worth it. We want to see you happy, fulfilled and living it up!
Replugging into the real world is exactly what all influencers need to do! This is why I barely talk to any anymore and my friends are people who go to work.
I love hearing you talk about your faith!
Love it when you talk about your faith - I’m here for it
Genuinely so happy for you!
Keep speaking the truth and being joyous in the success of being content with your content. 🙏🏿💯
Never miss a video from you - love from Hamburg and God Bless You Kelly!
Hey Kelly! Love watching
You have integrity, it's a gift. Keep staying true to you and thank you for sharing.
Love your journey Kelly! As a sis in Christ, YUP, we need you and this.
I just love you Kelly!! This was such an eye opener and the reality of this industry unfortunately. Keep being you and sharing your faith! We need your light in this dark world!
Hey Kelly! I love your videos and overall sense of being! On this topic, as content creator myself, it's always in the back of mind, to obtain and maintain is such a struggle when one gets to a certain point,so this video was much needed!
The fluffy piles of gelato fill my soul with delight! Keep on being you and let your light shine ✨ it’s refreshing seeing you slow up, step back and relax. Your next thing will be here soon enough, no need to rush it!
You're not the only one who believes in God
YEP
I love these glasses!!! And love your videos😊 live your truth girl, I admire you and your values so much
I’ve always related to you about some things you shared online and faith is also something I care about. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Kelly much appreciated. Yes there are some demons you fight as an influencer. I appreciate your candidness. We watch you for that exact reason. Love ya
Loved this video. Kelly keep living your truth and doing what brings you joy. Do your thing. And ... you're allowed to change your mind and switch gears. Embrace opportunities.
I stay watching your videos because I love your content and because you talk about your faith!
I LOVE when you talk about your faith 💚
Love the realness and love the humor 😂 always so fascinating hearing about the actual “life” of an influencer from “fans” to the unspoken rules online. Stay blessed! Stressless! Happy Holidays 🎉
Touching you?! 🤣🤣🤣 omg. My introvertness would freak out and become defensive 🤣
It happens to me a lot when I’m in New York City which is why I’m so glad I’m not there anymore. Summertime was the worst. There was one day when I walked until Whole Foods and a nice person asked for a photo with me. But then he proceeded to walk in my direction out of the store towards my apartment so then I walked a different way. He took my bag out my hand and he kept asking well are you going this way too? I said no and took my bag back. I ended up doing a whole lap around the neighborhood before he gave up. This is why everybody online becomes a hermit but that’s not who I am. I like going outside by myself. I need to change my hairstyle and get a new purse so I’m not recognizable.
It took me a while to understand that a lot of people were actually trying to be nice to me, but they were trying to hold me hostage. I had no issue carrying my bags lol. I started carrying mace all the time after that.
This is the realest. This job aint easy at ALL. And getting recognized in public is the weirdest. I have kids and it's happened to me while I'm out with my family. Being an "influencer" is not for the faint of heart at all. Keep up the great work. 👍
I think your originality, persistence, faith, and transparency are not only unmatched but a shining light in an otherwise seedy and sometimes lonely place (as a "public" figure). I look up to you and I hope you find a way to get all you deserve without compromise. And I think you will!
Thank you!! :D
The intro is absolutely ICONIC! 🤩 Yes, Miss Stamps!
Yes! Exactly! The overconsumption of social media is so detrimental to our health. We compare ourselves to ppl who have way more and we seek validation. For you, you kept checking your analytics become of money, greed, and validation
good luck with everything Kelly! thanks for sharing, I appreciate it. definitely will keep this in mind as an upcoming youtuber. this really helped me confirm that i want to only post as a hobby, because it seems like so much stress relying on it for income. also, i’m not religious but i really value your pov and appreciate your honesty!
Thank you for the honest info about being an uprising, popular influencer. I learned a lot about this and will take these things in mind when eventually making a TH-cam channel. Keep being strong.
I can HONESTLY say, this was one of the most refreshing videos I've ever seen on YT. It made me THINK about a lot (as someone who's actively trying to post more and still figure out life) but it didn't stress me out. The authenticity on your channel is just *chefs kiss*. I'm sorry you've been going through it with stalkers and brands, but ---*I have some kinda deep spiritual saying trapped in my head, but I'm exhausted so you know..fill in the blank* Thanks for keeping' it 1 hunnid!
When you said “this is so long I’m sorry” I was like no please this is literally exactly the stuff I’m so curious about that dosen’t get talked about a lot. I really like that about you - you tend to answer a lot of questions I have about what certain experiences are like that usually get danced around or dismissed as unimportant.
i love your content so much. it's so engaging, especially in the age of tiktok! keep it up kelly
On the school topic, if I had it to do over again, I would definitely rack up all the credits at community college, then transfer to a big school junior year. That will save you a lot of money.
Agreed! It's the best choice.
The earliest I’ve EVER been!!! Heyyyy, Kelly!
HEY
Love you Kelly Stamps. Stay strong in your faith!!
Kelly you are maturing gracefully! Looking amazing! Girly! 😍
Enjoy the channel Kelly. Keep being true to yourself, God bless🙏🏽💕
Yas Kelly thank you for being bold about your faith! So rare ❤️ we will be besties in heaven ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Kelly. Your entire channel is a course on "how to be successful on TH-cam". You always keep it 100%. God Bless you Beautiful!
And in life! Thank you
I’m sorry Kelly for the hardness you have experienced. Please take care of yourself.
You are not along, I love the fact you talk about your faith.. God blessed you
Can't wait for the flying videos. That should be really relaxing for you to focus on something specific like that.
looking forward to seeing ur new journey!
GOOD FOR YOU KELLY!!!!!! EVERY knee shall BOW!!!! Never give up that amazing faith because you already know that it's the ONLY thing in the end that matters. Our faith is priceless!!! God Bless!!
This is amazing! Yes girl, Integrity! I am so proud of you! Thank you for being authentic and for not compromising your spiritual beliefs. Continue to do what it takes to be the best emotionally healthy you regardless to what people/brands think about it. We see now more than ever that people are taking their own lives because they fear how their truth will be criticized. Keep living out loud but mostly keep your connection to God strong!
Ouh I'm loving this new direction for you! Super happy for you!
Thank you!
