We recently connected with Dorlethia Johnson & Samiyah Hall and have shared our conversation below.
Dorlethia Johnson & Samiyah Hall, appreciate you joining us today. Learning the craft is often a unique journey from every creative – we’d love to hear about your journey and if knowing what you know now, you would have done anything differently to speed up the learning process.
Our journey as a mother-daughter fashion duo from Los Angeles has been an incredible exploration of style, creativity, and growth. Amidst the challenges posed by the pandemic, we discovered our passion for fashion curation and content creation. What sets us apart is our unique approach to fashion—highlighting similar styles from different generational perspectives.
As we delve deeper into this world, we’ve learned invaluable lessons in time management, taking style risks, and collaborating effectively with brands. Perhaps the most crucial skill we’ve honed is the art of being budget-friendly without compromising our brand’s essence. We’ve consciously embraced the concept of creating magic with what we have, resisting the urge to succumb to the pressure of constantly “keeping up” with the trends portrayed on social media.
Furthermore, navigating distance between us has taught us the importance of optimizing our time together, ensuring that every moment counts when filming, resulting in high-quality, engaging content. Quality, to us, is non-negotiable. We believe that by consistently delivering the best, we can strive to be the best in what we do.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
We are Momm & Popp (Dorlethia, Momm and Sami, Popp).
Momm & Popp has been on an exciting journey of discovery and growth, and we believe that our unique perspective on fashion, spanning generations and body types.
What sets us apart is our ability to harmoniously blend and contrast our similar fashion sensibilities, all while showcasing the diversity and inclusivity of style across generations and body types. We’ve taken this concept and translated it into captivating content that has resonated with our rapidly growing audience.
Through content creation we have been able to create a platform that holds space to be your authentic self.
What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?
Our goal began with us just having fun and wanting to show our style and fashion. Over the past few years it has evolved. Present day our creative journey stems from wanting show our style to all types of women and allowing them to know that you don’t need wear designer clothes to have style. It truly comes from within and we love that we can create that.
How did you build your audience on social media?
Starting with pure enjoyment often paves the way for unexpected success. Your organic approach and authenticity have not only engaged your community but also led to collaborations and events. Stay true to yourselves; it’s the magic that keeps your social media thriving!
