Hailey grew up in a Christian home. However, she never really took her Christian faith seriously. During her college years, she just followed the crowd and put aside her faith despite the convictions she felt from the Lord. Not until the pandemic happened. It was 2020 when her University had to close, and she had to stay home when she realized, “I actually want to change my life around. And I want to start living for Jesus.”
Becoming A TikTok Influencer
At that point, Hailey decided to stop being a churchgoer and rededicated her life to Christ. So, she let go of everything and started living for Jesus. And the moment Hailey did that, the former model also desired to spread the love of God to others. So, that’s when she came up with the concept of comedy and Jesus into her video content.
“I just want to live for Jesus,” she told the 700 Club. “And I want to let go of all that ickiness and just embrace Jesus and everything that He’s called me to be.”
Then, Hailey’s first TikTok video immediately shot up to 500,000 views after a few days. Since then, the Christian influencer has never stopped posting on the platform. She started getting attention and rose to fame.
Hailey also shared how she handled the pressure amidst her fame as a Christian content creator. Apparently, she came to a point wherein she associated her identity with the views and likes she got. She started to become insecure and doubted herself. As a result, the influencer tweaked her views a little bit. However, it would not get views. That’s when she realized she had to embrace and be secured her identity in the Lord.
