description Objective: this research investigates how influencers embrace culturally stigmatized practices to build their opinion leadership on social networks. Methods: the work adopts the netnographic method for a longitudinal case study of the influencer Ju Feitoza, who has become a reference in the housewife movement known as ‘Neighbors of Insta’ on Instagram. Results: the research demonstrates the development of a platform for building leadership of influence through four strategic steps in the digital environment: (1) building a sense of community, (2) authenticity under stigma, (3) destigmatization of social identity, and (4) entrepreneurial leadership. Conclusions: this study demonstrates how influencers strategically build their leadership on social networks by re-signifying culturally stigmatized practices, transforming undervalued, ordinary and invisible practices into aspirational and marketable activities.
