Karissa Rose is a 16-year-old with big dreams and goals. She was an All-Star Cheerleader for her entire life and then decided her real passion is acting, modeling, social media, and fashion. Some say I am an old soul with a huge heart. Throughout my journey in life, the good and the bad, no matter what I went through, I always live by the saying Everything Happens For A Reason.
HEY KARISSA! WELCOME TO ABOUT INSIDER. THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO CHAT WITH US! HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN AN INFLUENCER/SOCIAL MEDIA CELEBRITY?
I started about 2018, but it wasn’t until the start of covid that I decided that this is what my passion was, and to be honest, it saved me during the pandemic.
WHEN DID YOU FIRST REALIZE YOU WERE FAMOUS?
I don’t think of myself that way, but In 2020 I traveled the country, and at every stop, I was surprised at how many people came to see me and told me how much they looked up to me.
IF ONE THING YOU COULD CHANGE ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Honestly, I wish everyone would be kind to each other and stop comparing themselves to what they see on social media because not everything you see is what it seems. Everyone needs to love themselves the way they are because everyone is beautiful in their unique ways.

WHAT IS ONE MESSAGE YOU WOULD LIKE TO GIVE TO YOUR FANS?
Everything Happens For A Reason… I genuinely believe that, and even for me, some days are tough to believe that when nothing seems to be going how we all dreamed it would, you have to think that something bigger is out there for you, so trust the process.
