“I think you just have to space out selfies with not too many professional photos. Followers want to see you and get to know you. Posting consistently is important, and with captions I try to talk about what I’m doing. I use quotes, but only if they aren’t cliché.

Context: When you start about family, about lineage and ancestry, you are talking about every person on earth. We all have it; it's a great equalizer.
