As veteran attendees of the video and influencer VidCon convention in Anaheim, the identical twin sisters Veronica Merrell and Vanessa Merrell have left an indelible mark on the industry. Their journey from actresses to YouTube stars has not only resonated with a growing fan base but also deeply connected them with the influencer community, inspiring many along the way.
More than 55,000 attendees descended on the convention to learn about video-making and platforms and meet their favorite creators and influencers.
