In a world where how you look can change people’s opinions, Ariana Josephine, who works hard at Home Depot, has started a big online debate. While she was on her shift at the well-known hardware store, Ariana decided to take a selfie and post it on social media. The photo got attention fast! In the picture, she looked confident with her stylish makeup, glasses, and her hair pulled back neatly.

You could easily tell from her bright orange apron—the one all Home Depot workers wear when they help customers mix paint colors—that Ariana worked at one of the stores in Texas, her home state. But it wasn’t just the picture that got people talking. The caption she wrote under it stirred up a lot of conversation. She mentioned how people often tell her she’s “too pretty” to work at Home Depot.

Thanks to the power of social media, Ariana’s post quickly went viral. Soon, everyone was talking about it—and Home Depot—on the internet. The selfie ended up with a mind-blowing thirty-five million views! It also racked up over one hundred thousand likes and thousands of people bookmarked it. The reactions to her post were split, showing just how different people’s opinions can be.

A lot of people cheered Ariana on for her hard work. They admired how she could manage her job at Home Depot while also going to college. Some supporters loved how dedicated she was to making sure customers got the perfect paint color for their home projects. Some even joked that they wouldn’t think of going to stores like Lowe’s anymore, just because of her!

One fan wrote, “Any girl with this mindset is serious,” clearly appreciating Ariana’s determination and strong work ethic.

But not everyone was on her side. Some people criticized her, saying that by claiming she was “too pretty” for her job, she just wanted attention. A few even questioned her faith, pointing out that her profile picture didn’t seem to match her claims of being a follower of Christ.
