Why did the actress reach out
A TikTok user previously made a video endorsing sanitary pad brand Mercy Johnson, which was criticized for its price.

He said his argument came from personal experience, having started the business at a young age.

The man expressed excitement and gratitude for the message, saying it encouraged him to keep creating content.

“I got a message from Mercy Johnson and I’m really honored to receive such a message from Mercy Johnson. I feel seen, I’m happy. I was really, really happy when I saw that message from Mercy Johnson. It’s not just a message, it’s more of an encouragement to keep doing what I’m doing and now people see me. Watch this video till the end, I have advice for the content creator who is watching this video. First of all, let me thank Mercy Johnson for sending me such a message for someone of her prestige, her caliber, to give up his fame, his influence and everything to send me a message just to thank me for the video I made about our brand.”
He also added:
“The video I made with no intention of partnership or ambassadorship, and maybe I made that video because I wanted to go viral or engage. No, I only made that video because I started a business very young, and as someone who started a business at the age of nineteen, I know what it takes to grow a business and I know what it takes to create one. Yes, you see all these jobs, it takes a lot to build a business, even more when it comes to production, and she doesn’t have a production company yet. That means she spent more than someone who already has a factory. So I just made a video to correct that message. It says a lot about what Mercy Johnson is like.
