Initially rising to prominence through her YouTube channel and social media presence, Owens built a following by offering commentary on politics, race relations, feminism, and contemporary culture from a conservative perspective.

Owens published the book 'Blackout: How Black America Can Exit the Democratic Plantation,' which outlines her political philosophy.
