Move over, world—Filipina dance phenomenon Niana Guerrero has arrived to stay, and she’s now earning acclaim as a global youth icon. The 18-year-old TikTok queen recently joined forces with actress Liza Soberano to become the newest brand ambassador for Australian cosmetics brand BYS. But the real highlight of the event wasn’t the makeup—though Niana did tease some exciting beauty content coming soon. Instead, the heartwarming highlight occurred when Niana reacted to her recognition as a global youth icon.
“Amazing and humbling,” Niana beamed, according to Philstar.com. It’s clear this recognition holds a special weight for the young star. “It’s a big – great – responsibility,” she emphasized, acknowledging the power she has to inspire others. But Niana isn’t fazed by the pressure. Instead, she sees it as an opportunity to empower fellow young people, especially young women.
In today’s world, where people both celebrate and criticize self-expression, Niana shares a powerful message with her fans. “You can’t really win everybody,” she says with a knowing smile. But that doesn’t mean you should back down. Niana encourages her audience to “make your own choices for yourself” and surround themselves with supportive friends. “Whatever makes you happy, at the end of the day, that’s what’s important,” she declares.
This isn’t just talk for Niana. The young star has walked the walk. From almost becoming a talent under South Korea’s powerhouse agency, SM Entertainment, to collaborating with international music sensations like Troye Sivan and Billie Eilish, Niana has carved her path, all while staying true to her passion for dance and creativity.
Now, with the title of global youth icon firmly in hand, Niana is ready to use her platform to inspire a generation to embrace their individuality and chase their dreams – with a touch of fabulous makeup, of course. Keep an eye out, because with secret collaborations and exciting campaigns in the pipeline, Niana Guerrero’s journey is only just beginning.
