In accordance with the saying “a harmful and beneficial Lord,” Grandma Aleya’s first knowledge of the Tik Tok platform was during the closure period to prevent the outbreak of the Corona pandemic in the Kingdom of Jordan, where her granddaughter convinced her to use the platform to get rid of the boredom she suffers from because she is not allowed to leave the house.

Alia Al-Rishq told Reuters TV, “I got acquainted with Tik Tok, Corona came to us and we were sitting at home, and I am a very active type. I have my granddaughter. Tita told me I saw you upset. What do you think about playing on Tik Tok? You have valuable information, and so I told her this is empty talk. This is for little girls. She said, Tita, Tita. The important thing is that you convinced me and put a page on Tik Tok and its daily, I was surrounded by food, I put it.

She added, “I have valuable information, why do I not benefit from this, the girls and the young men in it, a lot of nice information, so I found encouragement from them and a lot of happiness, then the most happy thing that came to them live, I became a problem solver, and God Almighty.”

Since that time, Grandma’s followers have grown to more than 222 thousand. She gives them advice and exchanges advice with them, and they share together topics ranging from cooking, gardening, relationships and more.

With regard to whether she faces some problems in preparing the topics that she presents to her followers, Grandma Alia said, “A good topic with his books, with his studies, because most of it is unseen. You know the first thing I was photographing, I used to take 3-4 days of the job to memorize it. And many times I took a large board like the children followed, writing the word “Almsalh” with me. May the name of God be upon me for two days by its preservation, by a day by its preservation, and by the length of its footing.”

Although she is a mother of seven children and a grandmother of 34 grandchildren and a grandmother of fathers and mothers of 4 grandchildren, the highly slender influencer considers all her followers to be her grandchildren and says, “They all told me Tita, then I am very, very lucky that I have grandchildren around the world.”
