#11. In this episode I answer your favorite IG series, "What Would Koko Do"? I started WWKD back in May 2021 after my "No-Coffee-Walk-Date" video went viral and I couldn't even imagine it will become such a big part of my online brand. It's safe to say WWKD is not going anywhere, as a matter of fact - I will be dropping WWKD episodes every weekend!
