Potatoes are a beautiful metaphor for diversity in one 12 DATE: 2024-10-18 20:28:44
If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.
If you want a menial task done in an inspiring and funny way, ask your Snapchat-loving little sister to do it.
When London-based Twitter user Maria asked her 12-year-old sister Noor to peel potatoes, she was surprised to find such a deep interpretation of them on her Snapchat story.

"People are like potatoes. The colour of skin or having marks doesn't matter," the first Snap read.
"Because they're all the same once the skin is removed."

"When I finished, I just scrolled through Snapchat viewing everyone's stories and hers came up. I laughed because I didn't think that she'd be Snapchatting the potatoes," Maria said. "They are long gone now as I made shepherd's pie that night."
Maria and Noor were pleasantly surprised to see their story go viral.
"I didn't tell my little sister that I did tweet her Snapchat story until we hit 300 retweets – it was a little crazy when I woke up the next day and we had about 6,000 retweets," said Maria. "Going viral has been interesting and so amusing, my little sister is very happy about it!"
"I was not expecting people to have such a reaction to me letting out my weird/deep thoughts on Snapchat," Noor told Mashable.
Noor proves that every moment, even peeling potatoes, is an opportunity to advocate for social change.
