attracted huge followings through videos that briefly translate cultural traditions and history for a
young and captive TikTok audience.

Spanish connect with one another on the platform through shared stories and experiences,"Kudzi

learning Spanish,so I made it my job to write records that bridge the gap between Spanish
speakers and those who want to learn but were never taught,"she said.
