It’s easy to rag on social media for its role in polluting our national discourse and taking away the sort of cultural empathy we used to have as a society, but the ongoing technological revolution has done some pretty amazing things too. For far too long, models were only a peg in the media industry instead of being actual stakeholders in what they created. Now sites like OnlyFans allow women to do more than just cash in—they have full control over their own destiny. They create the content they want to create and reap all the rewards.
To that end, few have taken advantage of this new reality more than Coconut Kitty. The striking model brought her massive Instagram audience over to the more adult-oriented OnlyFans, where she runs one of the most popular accounts. We spoke with Coconut about her various artistic endeavors, building her own brand and where exactly her moniker came from.
When did you first become interested in modeling?
Ever since I was a child I loved being in front of the camera.
You’ve been very savvy about using social media to grow your brand. What’s one tip you would give others looking to do what you’re doing?
Since social media is mostly picture-based, I direct all my energy toward creating the best content I can. I continue to learn about lighting, photography, editing and working on my craft.
