Pretty much everyone remembers the golden days of early meme culture when Advice Animals and characters like Bad Luck Brian or Overly Attached Girlfriend ruled the web. While most of us remember seeing these iconic formats, only a very select group of people can say they were actually in one of these memes. Among this particular group, even fewer of them “grew up” as a meme by being associated with a viral image ever since they were a kid.

Easily one of the most well-known examples of this phenomenon is Zoe Roth, better known to the internet as Disaster Girl, whose image wound up becoming a viral sensation when she was only 5 years old. With its famous grin and burning building setting the scene of the now-legendary photo, Disaster Girl is among one of the most popular memes of all time, so we spoke with Roth to get a glimpse into what it was like growing up with your image plastered all around the internet — even to this day.
