Vivian Tu wants to help.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">Tu is known for her TikTok and Instagram social media accounts \u201cYour Rich BFF\u201d, where she makes entertaining videos about personal finance (BFF stands for \u201cbest friend forever\u201d).
