Picture this: It was just an ordinary day when I (by the way, I'm Ollie, one of the Co-Founders of Badgie!) spotted Georgie, a nurse taking a well-deserved lunch break. Seeing an opportunity to spread some joy, I approached her with a Badgie Pride Flag for her name badge. Little did she know, this seemingly small gesture would create an unforgettable moment that resonated with people all over the world.

Hold onto your hats, because this TikTok went 'off'! As soon as I posted it on TikTok, it spread faster than a jet taking off. In a blink of an eye, the video reached a mind-boggling 2 million views in just 24 hours! And the numbers just kept climbing. Can you believe it? We're talking about a whopping 5 million views and counting! It's safe to say that Georgie struck a chord with viewers everywhere.
