A Girl Has No President: anonymous Instagrammer

As of November 2024, the account A Girl Has No President has more than 820,000 followers on Instagram. That following includes scores of celebrities. But the creator of the account chooses to stay anonymous, in part because of threats against her and her family, and in part because she is not interested in notoriety. She also rarely grants interviews, but made an exception for this episode of Banner & Company. She talks about why she created the account in 2016 out of "unadulterated anger," how growing up poor in Nashville has influenced the way she thinks, and how she and Demetria once crossed paths many years ago — well before there was any such thing as social media. This episode was first broadcast in April 2024. Guest: Anonymous, A Girl Has No President Host: Demetria Kalodimos Producers: Andrea Tudhope and Steve Haruch Learn more about your ad choices.
