Since nothing says youthquake like Euphoria, we have handpicked five cultural disruptors and “legends of tomorrow” who channel characters from the hit TV series.

Lesego “ThickLeeyonce” Legobane, 29, body-positivity influencer:

What is your superpower?

Having the liberty to be free and live my true authentic self.

What makes you a legend of tomorrow?

My persistence and consistency in my narrative of owning myself and being self-aware despite societal standards.

What makes you a cultural disruptor in your industry?

My entire brand challenges societal norms. I don’t go with the beauty standards that have been put in place, because I believe we’re all beautiful in our own unique way.

How have you championed body positivity?

Not to be arrogant, but I was instrumental in showing fat women that they too can rock a crop top and still feel sexy. When I started out, people would make cruel and malicious comments about my body, but I’m glad I didn’t listen to conventional standards of what I should and shouldn’t do with my body.

What is the biggest hurdle facing the youth today?

Seeking constant validation. We live in a social-media era where we are exposed to how others have “made it”, and that can put a lot of pressure on today’s youth, making them feel that they must achieve certain things at a particular age, and that’s not ideal.

How has social media changed your life?

It has offered me a platform to fully express myself. It has helped me build a community that helps to fund me and my career. But it has had a big impact on my mental health. Being a full-time influencer and YouTuber, my job requires people’s validation. I won’t get paid if people don’t like or view my content. The obsession to stay relevant can take a negative toll on you.

What’s that one thing you want to be remembered for?

 How I made people feel.

Who is your favourite Euphoria character?
