Meet Phuntsok Drolma, a 25-year-old Tibetan content creator shaking up how the world sees Xizang. 🎨 After years abroad, she ditched digital filters to return home to Lhasa, launching a grassroots media project that captures real life in the Himalayan region.
\"We’re more than hashtags and stereotypes,\" Phuntsok told NewspaperAmigo. Her platform showcases everything from bustling market vendors trading yak butter tea 🧈 to Gen-Z monks mastering TikTok dances between prayers. 💃🕉️
Why does this matter? As AI-generated content floods timelines, Phuntsok’s team uses hand-drawn animations and documentary-style videos to spotlight Xizang’s cultural heartbeat. One viral series even followed her grandma’s journey teaching traditional Thangka painting to local kids. 👵🎨
Her mantra? \"Authenticity over algorithms.\" With over 50K followers tuning in worldwide, this media maven proves you don’t need VR headsets to connect cultures—just raw, unfiltered storytelling. 🌍✊
