Q: Let’s talk about your career! Did you expect to go viral in such a short amount of time?

After my dad passed away, witnessing my mom’s unwavering strength and determination in the face of adversity was truly inspiring. She had struggles, but she never made excuses. When I considered dropping out of college to help her with bills, she wanted me to continue my education while she held things together until I was able to help. I was Inspired by her resilience so I began sharing motivational messages on TikTok directed at women. I never expected it to gain such momentum.
Q: Did you mention your social media success to the other contestants on The Circle, or did youkeep it a secret?
Kyle: During the circle, I didn’t have a big following on TikTok or Instagram, my following was just fans from across the world from where I played basketball.
Q: What do you think is the biggest misconception about content creators?
Kyle: I don’t even see myself as a content creator because what I share is all about real life. Some creators use photoshop or post things that aren’t genuine. Everything you see from me is real.
Q: Is there any other reality TV show that you would love to be a part of?
Kyle: I would definitely like to be on another Netflix show like “The Mole” or something that is exciting and challenging.
The next batch of Season 6 episodes (Episodes 5 through 8) will be released on Netflix on April 24.
