5 letters. KGMTL.
You might have heard of her.
Well known for her beauty tips and tricks, ranging from her vegan non-dairy gluten free recipes to skincare routines, Katherine Garbarino has slowly made her way up the social media landscape, helping young women glow from the inside out. She struggled with her weight and cystic acne for 5 years and shared every step of the way trying new things, trial and error. Her audience is now very faithful to her. They trust everything she says. But how? And why?
The Beauties Tribe asked her a few questions to get to know her better.

Who is KGMTL? What is your background?
KGMTL is me, Katherine Garbarino. It has always been my IG handle, even before I was sharing my life on instagram. I am an Italian Jewish girl from Montreal, 33 years old.
What is your mission with the GLW GRLS project?
My mission is to give my content a home so my followers can access it at any time and practically have a glossary of information. I also want to bring in other women whom I admire who are experts in their own fields to give my audience as much important information as possible.
What is the message you wish to convey?
That anything is achievable with hard work and dedication. I like to show this with my own actions and with the information I put out there.
I want to educate people on the fact that we all have options and have the choice to make decisions to better ourselves every day. I want to motivate everyone to make the best choices for their health daily.
What was the breaking point that made you turn your life around and put more focus on health?
I wasn’t happy with the way I felt, I wasn’t energetic. I was confident but not content and knew that there was a better way to feel. I also became obsessed with research and every time I would add a healthy habit to my routine, I would love how it made me feel and wanted to try more and more.
