Part of what makes social media such a force to be reckoned with nowadays is that it helps connect you to your fantasies. From glamorized imagery to idealized lifestyles, social media often serves as one's escape from the real world. Over the years, that has brought on harmful effects but there are those that have proven to be helpful too. Take YouTubers, for instance. There are vloggers that show what it's like to live a certain way or in a certain place. Living in Paris, for instance, is the ultimate fantasy for a lot of people out there. These YouTubers help mold that fantasy into reality.
Let's be real for a second: despite how diverse, open-minded, and socially liberated France, especially Paris, has become, racism still exists. Racial biases still exist, even though it's not as blatant and rampant as before. So even in a city like Paris, women of color might still get the short end of the stick. It's already a city with notable crime rates, what more if you're a minority living here? Fortunately, American MBA student and YouTuber Tiffanie Davis proves that even black women can live the dream life in Chez Paris. With her joie de vivre, she proves that a single woman with dark complexion can still take control of her destiny in a bustling metropolis like the French capital.
Shayna Klee, more popularly known as The Purple Palace on YouTube, is a Paris-based visual artist and filmmaker. She chronicles her quirky adventures as a young creative in the French capital, even offering some tips and tricks on the side. From what the streetwear trends in the city to what the Paris art scene, beyond the famous museums, is really like, Klee offers a look into the different sides of local life here. She's also allowed herself to become vulnerable to her subscribers, sharing bits of her personal life and how stressful living in a city like Paris can often be.

Nora Aradi, or 'Nora A' on YouTube, is the personification of a social media influencer in Paris. Of course, this means that most of the content on her channel reflects an idealized view of what life is like in the city. Think weekly vlogs that chronicle her university life in Paris, fashion videos that show off trends and styles in the city and beyond, and clips of her modeling life too. This isn't to say that what she presents is simply a mirage of what living in Paris may seem like, but it is a more well-polished version nonetheless.
