The ones that really stood out to me were POLICE BOX (because I am a devoted "Doctor Who" fan who wished for a TARDIS when other kids were wishing for a jet pack); KISS ON THE CHEEK (awww …); MAKEUP TUTORIAL (these are tremendously popular on YouTube and have also become a large part of the ASMR video boom, which focuses on personal care activities to help viewers relax and fall asleep); AFROPUNK; and JANET MOCK, the creator of the #girlslikeus campaign and transgender rights activist.
