She’s only 24 and may seem too young to spotlight during Women’s History Month.

But Christina Roki of Sterling Heights is definitely making history, as an automotive influencer and custom car designer whose following of fans has reached more than 3.7 million on TikTok, and 5 million across all other platforms.

“She’s always been the smartest one in the family,” said Veronica Roki, while greeting visitors Friday who were stopping by to see the cool car and auto-inspired apparel at Drive Safe, a popup store that Christina launched at Oakland Mall in Troy.

“Honestly, I really look up to my sister,” added Veronica.

She’s not alone.

Millions of girls and young women who are passionate about robotics, STEM and anything that has to do with cool cars and thinking-outside-the box have become fans of Christina Roki.

She is one of three girls raised by Jamila Roki, a seamstress from Iraq who immigrated to the United States determined to create a good life for herself and her daughters, sewing and working several jobs that included the automotive assembly line. So, it’s no surprise Christina would succeed at a young age.

She grew up in the Motor City and it was a class in high school that sparked her passion for mechanical engineering.

“I was always into hands-on work so I got into robotics,” Christina said. “That’s when I knew I wanted to pursue an engineering degree.”

Seeing that others were interested too, Christina went on to create a nonprofit organization that teaches young girls basic mechanical concepts while building their confidence and interest in STEM careers. After high school, Christina went on to attend the University of Michigan, where she earned her degree in mechanical engineering and computer science in hopes of landing a job in the motorsports field.

“I’m really fascinated about cars. I love how intricate they are and how everything works together to get you from point A to point B,” Christina said.

That is when they’re working.

In the case of Christina’s mother that was never the case.

“It was always breaking down. Sometimes it wouldn’t start. Sometimes it had smoke coming out of the engine,” Christine said.

When it finally died, she decided enough was enough and did a search for instructional videos on YouTube. Once she found out how to fix it she went to work and being the kind of person who loves to inspire others to do the same filmed the project, documenting each step along the way.

The TikTok videos went viral.

“I showed them I’m just a girl trying to fix my mom’s car and I think that that really resonated with a lot of people,” said Christina, whose success with her first project led to many others, which have fueled the motorsports career she’s always wanted.

Ferrari and Ford Motor Company, movie producers behind famous franchises like the “Fast and Furious” and major brands including E-Bay and 7-Eleven have reached out wanting to sponsor her projects or partner up on something special.

Then there’s Drive Safe by Christina Roki.

She launched the company that features apparel and accessories inspired by the cars that she modifies or builds and enlisted her sister’s talent for design and merchandising.

Now through the end of March, fans of Chistina Roki can purchase everything from T-shirts to hats and hoodies at a pop-up store in the Oakland Mall in Troy. Parked outside the store is a replica of Suki’s hot pink Honda S200 from “2 Fast 2 Furious” she built and inside the store is a silver Mercedes-Benz that Christina built and will give-away to one lucky customer.

“This is a car that she built,” said Veronica, who could not be prouder of her big sister and the company they’re building together.

Despite all of her success, Christina remains the humble daughter of an immigrant, whose biggest ambition is to inspire others.

“I’ve built over 60 cars,” Christina said, and besides her mother’s jalopy the one that she’s most proud of is a 2003 Nissan 35Z. “It means a lot to me because I built this car with high school girls. We did it in five days. It was all hands on, they got to see it from start to finish so I’m very proud of that car.”
