YAMUNA HASAN
What was going through your mind watching Sabrina Carpenter bring your words to life on Saturday Night Live?
My phone went CRAZY. Like actually exploding—messages, tags, edits, everything all at once. I was just staring at the clip like… wait that’s literally my words?? On Saturday Night Live?? With Sabrina Carpenter?? It felt so unreal but also so exciting, like the kind of moment you don’t even process properly at first. I was just smiling the whole time thinking this is actually insane.
What was your immediate reaction seeing yourself as cover girl alongside Jungkook as cover boy in the same global moment?
It honestly felt like such a Gen Z moment. Seeing myself as cover girl alongside Jungkook as cover boy—it didn’t feel like just two people on covers, it felt like our whole generation being represented on a global level. We’re both part of Gen Z, coming from completely different worlds, but still meeting at the same level of impact. That’s what made it feel so powerful—it’s like everything is shifting and Gen Z is really stepping into its era.
How did it feel watching yourself be referenced at the Oscars—one of the biggest stages in the world?
That moment was actually insane. Like the Oscars?? That’s one of the biggest stages in the world, and hearing my name connected to that just felt unreal in the best way. Everything was blowing up at the same time—messages, clips, people tagging me everywhere—and it felt like the whole world was watching. It wasn’t just exciting, it felt like a level-up moment, like okay… this is getting really big now.
What is the Girlboss Seminar, and what are you launching with it?
The Girlboss Seminar is honestly one of the biggest things I’ve ever worked on—it’s not just a project, it’s a full global movement. It’s all about confidence, mindset, stepping into your power, but on a level that actually reaches people everywhere. And the craziest part is it was inspired by the viral Saturday Night Live moment on my podcast with Sabrina Carpenter—so we’re taking something that already broke the internet and turning it into something that can actually change lives. This isn’t small at all… it’s something I see impacting millions, even billions of people.
With so many fans seeing you as a leader of Gen Z, what does that mean to you?
It honestly feels really special. I don’t see my fans as just an audience—I see them as people I’m growing with. If people call me a leader of Gen Z, it’s because they feel something real in what I’m saying. And I love that, because it means we’re all moving forward together, not separately. That connection is everything to me.
