She personally identifies as a "social advocacy influencer," emphasizing her commitment to grassroots work and social causes beyond the confines of social media.
By challenging societal perceptions and redefining the influencer narrative, Anto Lecky aims to elevate the status and recognition of influencers, emphasizing their multifaceted contributions to various sectors beyond the digital realm.
