From the picture-perfect filters to the posed pictures, Instagram can sometimes feel like the most pressurizing place on the internet. But thanks to influencers like Nabela Noor, the 'gram is getting a little bit more real and relatable - one post at a time.
Meet Nabela Noor, a 30-year-old millennial influencer with one goal in mind: to be a face on the internet that she wished she'd had growing up. According to Nabela, representation is what fueled her passion for being a social media influencer. And her 2.1 million followers certainly have a lot to be thankful for. From body positivity to openness surrounding mental health, Nabela is breaking down Instagram's superficial walls.

And that desire to be a positive influence for younger girls inspired another accomplishment within Nabela's growing empire: writing a book. "Younger me never seeing herself represented in books, tv, and the media," the influencer explained of her kid's book, Beautifully Me. "Older me creating the character of my dreams in my new book." And the publishing of her book would coincide with another special surprise. "I dreamt of reading this book to my future daughter as I wrote each word, not realizing that a few hundred days later...when the book would finally release, I would be pregnant with the daughter of my dreams," Noor continued to share.
That's right - in addition to fighting restrictive beauty norms, Nabela has also been 100% with her followers about the fertility struggles she experienced on the road to carrying her "rainbow" baby. "We are having a baby. Just a few months ago, I never thought I'd be able to say that sentence again..." the emotional momma-to-be shared. And since then, she's been keeping us updated on all the ups and downs along the way.
