Wirtschaftskrise: „Die Kennedy aus Bolivien“ – warum Lateinamerikas Eliten diese Tiktokerin um Rat fragen
Sayuri Loza zählt zu den einflussreichsten indigenen Stimmen Boliviens. Eine Begegnung mit ihr in El Alto, wo die Influencerin wie ein Popstar gefeiert wird.
Sayuri Loza, a 42-year-old influencer from El Alto in Bolivia, has become a key figure in addressing the country's political and social crisis. Her substantial social media following, particularly on TikTok, spans various demographics, including indigenous youth, journalists, politicians, and entrepreneurs. Sayuri, who has 75,000 followers on TikTok, is known for her identification with the indigenous Aymara culture and her influence in bridging the gap between different aspects of Bolivian society.
Sayuri, who grew up in Aymara culture, uses her platform to discuss Bolivian politics, economic conditions, and indigenous fashion. She typically posts in Spanish, but also occasionally in Aymara. Apart from her social media presence, Sayuri is a translator for Japanese and Aymara, writes children's books in her native language, and works as a real estate agent, hatter, and entrepreneur at her own market stands.
As a key influence in Bolivia, Sayuri's advice is sought after by some of the country's most influential individuals. She promotes the unique entrepreneurial spirit of Aymara culture and warns politicians and businessmen that they cannot convince people solely with economic data. Her influence is often compared to the Kennedy family in the United States, as her name has become synonymous with political and cultural commentary in Bolivia.
