As a teenager, Lowri Rose-Williams went to church twice on a Sunday, and claims she wasn't allowed to text boys, and was banned from using the Internet. Now, she's breaking it.
The 23-year-old from Swansea is a familiar face to many online, having won hundreds of thousands of fans on TikTok and Instagram before making it big on subscription service OnlyFans. In less than 18 months, she has become one of the most successful creators on the platform, ranking in the top one per cent worldwide and earning tens of thousands of pounds in the process.
As we sit in a bustling coffee shop in central Cardiff, where she now lives, Lowri shares stories of the past few years with a contented smile as she reflects on how far she has come both professionally and personally. For, while her striking pink highlights, intricately tattooed arms and Playboy nose stud tell the story of a young woman who now is unequivocally free to express herself how she pleases, as she tells me, that has not always been the case.
