I use my Instagram account as a platform to share fashion, culture and faith content.
My Instagram account has 1.8K Followers.
I also post interviews and updates on my freelance journey there.
My name is Cheyenne Darko, I am 22 years old and a freelance journalist.
I discovered my passion for writing during my first internship with Lloyds Banking Group and from there decided to start Pepper and get involved with different platforms that champion the topics I am passionate about. My writing niches include: faith, fashion and culture.
