Really loved how she talked a lot about her personal life instead of just talking about the decor. She seems like a very interesting, inspiring, and strong person!

Well there's not a lot of decor to talk about. I follow her on TikTok. She talks about body positivity, working at Google and becoming a micro influencer.

From another Black woman who grew up humbly: I love how you have celebrated and invested in yourself. Wishing you continued abundance and radiance. Also: I see the Telfar! 💕

She's not black She's mixed. I'm pretty sure her dad is black and her mama's White. I could care less but mixed is not black.

Much respect to her for her humble beginnings and boss mentality. She is goals and made stuff happen for herself and that's something no one can take away from her. Beautiful 🥰 love the style, you are a queen!

I think she’s the first New Yorker who’s ever said they loved their bathroom! Gorgeous apartment! ❤️

She said: light 🌟 airy 🌱 CRISP 💎 uncluttered house, uncluttered mind 💆‍♀️

She is gorgeous, her space is gorgeous and her life seems great too. Proud of her!!!!

I've been watching Sweet Digs for years and I'm so glad to see more episodes featuring POC and people from low-income backgrounds, and to hear them talk about their experiences. Makes the whole thing much more relatable and aspirational. Thank you Alexis!

Thank you for the representation of truly hard working young professionals who has never had parental support straight out the nest. ❤️ so proud of her!

Thus was one of the best home tours so far - and it was just a studio apartment! I love her attitude, and it was nice hearing someone speak more about themselves personally, and their thoughts behind why they chose to live the way they do.

You have a beautiful home! Kudos to you for working hard to get the life you dream and being a role model to your siblings. You’re doing a great job💕

This is beautiful 😍 I laughed when she said don't look closely at the backslash and then they put a close up shot🤣😅

I’m obsessed with the pink dress she is wearing 🥰

She is an inspiration! Many don’t know what it’s truly like to take care of yourself with no support system

Ahhh the fact that I follow her on tik tok and now she’s featured on Refinery29!!! Yes girl I stan 💜

You go girl!!! I'm proud of you.

It’s such a fucked up thing that rent is this expensive for what used to be a poor part of Brooklyn. Growing up here, I would never have thought that mfs would charge this much to live in a small apartment. It makes me so mad 🤦🏽‍♀️

That’s gentrification for ya. These big name rich people create these buildings and charge so much for it. I don’t blame the people living in them, I blame the people who keep making these big ass luxury buildings

The same thing is happening where I live in Florida. Rents (and house prices) are skyrocketing. I have no idea where lower-income people are even going because it's happening in their areas too.

@@pinkpanda5696 factssss. That’s the whole point of it all though, to drive out the low income ppl to make way for the wealthy. The people who are supposed to ensure the best for us usually are just doing so to turn a profit on us 🤷🏽‍♀️ it’s a shame how little we’re taken into account and helped for that matter.

For someone not from us I just assumed this was cheap before reading this comment.Is it really that expensive for Brooklyn?

I am so appreciative of how honest this feature was! I loved it from start to finish. Each piece was intentional and carries meaning - well done Alexis! xx

this apartment is really nice.

She started off small then invested . Beautiful Space.

Your life represents SUCCESS! So proud of you and love your home. 😊

This is so nice! I am so happy for her. What a nice apartment.

She must have gotten this during Covid when rents were lower because as NYer, trust me, this is an insane deal given the location, apartment and luxury building.

When she said I don’t like when plant people putting plants everywhere and calling it decorum … I FELT THAT!!! Thank you

I love the Telfar bags as decorative pieces!

Love the space and her story! She really made it her own! 💫

Great episode! Nice to see a more intimate side, which is rare. Alexis will be an inspiration to so many others who, despite humble beginnings, will surely succeed and add value to the world.

Ahh I follow her on tiktok!! So proud

Love! I don't know if it's because I already know her from her own platforms, but this episode felt different, more real than others.

Let me just say Refinery29,you guys have a youtube channel that is both interesting and entertaining to watch. You guys have topics about beauty,hair,self care,living on a budget,and what's in my bag.The diversity of these youtube videos are just amazing.😊👏

Beautiful apartment and very well decorated ❤️ she’s beautiful as well ❤️

Love your apartment…very chic and glam…and glad you’re loving your space…Super cute Alexis🌸

I remember youuu!!!! I watched your apartment tour like 30 times! It was so nice! I like when you stopped by the mirror and gave yourself a little positive affirmation! (Typing before watching this video😂)

I appreciate that she is a businesswoman. and yes like others said she talked about her personal life and that she worked for everything she has love it 💕

When I read the rent, I first thought it's for a pre-designed, furnished appartment. Hearing that it was just for the empty rooms, gee... well, very nicely done!

You did a great job with the small space. The design/layout is the best studio ever. I remember my first apt, [ over 50 yrs ago ], it was a studio. I agree the worst thing was having the kitchen sitting there in the living space. I enjoyed your tour. You were delightful. I am 76, yet your "joie de vivre" and confidence reminded me of my younger self. Have a Happy, Healthy & Prosperous 2022.

Such a nice home & beautiful woman! What an amazing accomplishment ❤️

I like her apartment!

Congratulations to you!! Your apartment is beautiful ❤️

I always love seeing STLiens doing big things. Congratulations on all of Alexis's achievements! Good luck with her future endeavors

i remember watching her YT videos on this space! love to see it! 💕🤩

Yass I love her vibe, you go girl! All the blessings!!

Really nice space and I like the simple decor. Usually I hate studios but that one is really nice. Having a closed kitchen is really good.

This video has been my favorite one so far in this whole theme!

Summer snow roses are my favorite. Girl you have a clean, cozy, and comfortable place. Seven siblings pic😊

Oh she's wonderful. Totally deserves her lovely appartment and her privacy.

Those windows are everything!❣️

Loved this one !

You gave me so many ideas for my place, thanks for sharing! ♥️

Daymmm this is sooo satisfying, it's sooo dam clean

Honey.........you're place is absolutely beautiful!!!!!! And you are a BAD ASS for all of your accomplishments!

I love how you talk about your background. I'm from the city of St.Louis so I understand where your coming from. Very nice apartment ❤️

This is a really interesting human, I think she's going to continue to be very successful in life! My favourite bits are the gorgeous photo of her and her family and the pink OK hand! Great layout but I just couldn't handle no curtains, I'd probably get sheer linen floaty ones!🥰💖🌟

LOVE your digs!

I love her!!!! I come from a similar background and this inspires me so much to continue to pursue a stable future for myself

Yeah but I would encourage you not to splurge on a perfect apartment like she is doing. Make sure you have enough savings so as to never go back to the way you grew up.

Gorgeous space. Very loving and homey.

I not only love your apartment, I love you ! I don't know you but I am proud of you ! Keep going girl....you have more mountains to move.

Beautiful home, light and airy.

She's so pretty.

Your apartment is very nice. What really matters to me is stories and character. You should be very proud of your accomplishments. Keep reaching your greater is near 🙏❤️

Love seeing Alexis here!!

Wow! My mom sent me this and you really did a beautiful job! Enjoy girl! You deserve it!🥰

Seven siblings 😲😲😲 That's tough if you are not from a wealthy family and you are trying to be successful.

I love your space! You have a really charismatic personality as well. 😊 May I please ask where you purchased your white desk and roll away underneath? It’s exactly what I have been looking for! Thank you and enjoy your day! 💐

Loved this!

Came here for the apartment tour and got so much more! Your story is amazing & so inspiring. Keep up the good work. I have teens and I encourage them to stay home & build up their savings and either go to college or get a trade. I watched this with them so they can see what hard work can do. Would love to follow your journey.

Very proud of you!. You doing it for yourself, despite your tough upbringing. Thanks for a look into yr fabulous home.. 🌹🙏👌💃💕

Love this place. It’s tiny but seems like just enough space.

This is a beautiful apartment. She is absolutely right... $1760/mo. is a steal.

Very nice place. Wow I had a similar apt in the upper west side area 100th st and Amsterdam. I felt the same enthusiasm about the washer and dryer because its not a common thing in nyc Apts

I love her channel! This studio is beautiful. I love BK

Gorgeous space! What an amazing achievement to have a beautiful apartment of your own, especially with a washer dryer 🤗😇

I love your apartment! I strive for clutter free, with small children is difficult. Congratulations!

So cute. I can’t wait to get out of St. Louis too 😩

ayyy!! nice apartment

beautiful space that you created for yourself, Congratulations!!!

Wow that apartment is a steal! Beautiful space for sure.

I did the same thing when I moved I got all new furniture. Your space is gorgeous

I love it!

I am so proud of you!

Alexis Barber! Ive been following her for some time on Tik Tok and IG, love her

That pink dress is beautiful on her 😍

Beautiful space

Your apartment is beautiful!!

Beautiful place! ❤️

Wow! Nice apartment and presentation!

This was so meaningful

Congratulations.love the home.happy for you.

Good for her! Not a bad price for the space. I will say, I can’t understand her dislike of plants as decor? With a beautiful pot/planter, plants make for amazing decor!
