In this episode, we sit down with YIYI, an upcoming Cuban artist fresh off her first performance at YTH Fest. Through her experience as a creative coming of age in the digital era, we explore how algorithms quietly shape self-esteem, influence beliefs, and curate the realities young people grow up consuming. From visibility and validation to identity and intention, this conversation examines the unseen forces behind the feed—and what it means for the next generation finding their voice in a world driven by data.
