We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Becca K a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Becca thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Do you wish you had waited to pursue your creative career or do you wish you had started sooner?
If I can go back in time I don’t wish I had started my creative career sooner or later. I believe in divine timing in which I was suppose to start my creator journey back in 2019 and expand onto another platform in spring of 2022. During this time, I was working towards my 4 year degree and graduated December 2021.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
In 2020, during the pandemic I realized there was a lot of personal growth that need to be made in which BeccaK emerged. My name is BeccaK. I am a entrepreneur, foodie, Content Creator, and fashionista.
Fashion has always had my heart and my style continues to evolve. My two favorite things that I’m passionate about are fashion and food and because I’m most passionate about those things I love to get dressed up try out different restaurants. I love to coordinate my outfits around the theme of the restaurants.
I’ve always loved to eat out. In 2017 I started posting short clips of new and different restaurants on personal instagram (@bxcca.k) story a couple times a month. In 2019 I started seeing food pages and thought I should make an account just showing the restaurants I visit. so I made a poll asking my followers if I should start another page strictly covering the food places. Majority voted yes so I created my food page mainly covering the metro Detroit area in spring of 2019.
My food page started out as detroitfoodiebk. In 2020, during the pandemic when I was rebranding, I changed the name to foodiebeccak. This year I decided to branch off into different social media platforms like Tik Tok (@foodoebeccak). I’m most proud of my growth from discipline and constistantcy.
In March 2021 I launched my Cosemetic line, BKKosmetics, which is Cruelty Free, Vegan & Gluten-free Made with a handcrafted formula. I started my cosmetic line because I have noticed many brands do not accommodate darker skin tones so I made it my mission to be a brand that accommodates everyone. Right now I am rebranding BKKosmetics and will be relaunching soon!
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
The most rewarding aspect of being an artist/creative is knowing that I may have inspired someone and knowing that consistency/hard work pays off. When it comes to inspiring someone rather that be somewhere I suggested or bought the product I created, it is a rewarding feeling that I was able to positively impact someone in some way!
Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?
I started building my audience from being consistent and shedding light on the places that I really enjoyed and thought other people would want to try. I went from posting a couple times a month on my personal instagram story to posting every other day on my food page, foodiebeccak. For those beginning to build their social media platform My advice would be to do what works for you, be consistent, do something your passionate about and of course make sure your having fun while doing it!
