At Fohr, our mantra is that influencer content needs to either educate, entertain, or inspire. For these influencers, they definitely fulfill the inspiration category.

May marks Mental Health Awareness Month. We recently shared a survey with thousands of creators on the topic of mental health and well-being to gain a better understand of how working as a creator professionally makes and impact.

It's not all negative. In fact, 79% of respondents stated they believe social media can have a positive impact on mental health. We believe it's due to creators that promote helpful, informative and inspiring content regularly. Here are 7 examples:
