Achieve You
Local Social Media Influencers Share A Message of Positivity With the World By Nicole Willis
A
group of five young content creators from Pensacola have gained tons of traction on the popular social media app, TikTok. Known for posting their wholesome interactions with strangers, triplets Cody, Stain and Brandon Rode along with their friends Ledarius Joshua and Kye Burton make up the creative collective “Achieve You.”
Their content revolves around honest and sometimes emotional interview-style videos in which the guys ask random strangers questions about their lives and loved ones, or play a game of truth or dare with some wholesome prompts added in for a fun twist. Think man on the street, but with more meaningful interactions. People across the country have started following their videos; in a short amount of time, the Pensacola locals have amassed around 2.5 million followers on TikTok and 132k on Instagram through their social media handle @toachieveyou. In 2019, the group began conducting their first interviews throughout the downtown area. After some time spent interviewing people throughout downtown, the group ran into a problem that made them realize it was time to expand by conducting interviews with people in other areas of the city.
