We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Breona Moore a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Breona thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. What’s been the best thing you’ve ever seen (or done yourself) to show a customer that you appreciate them?
At Compulsive Magazine, we place immense value on customer appreciation and building meaningful relationships with our readers and supporters. One of the most impactful ways we express this gratitude is through our annual red-carpet anniversary celebration. This event is designed to give our audience an unforgettable, star-quality experience complete with elegant décor, live entertainment, curated gift bags, and photo opportunities that make every guest feel truly celebrated.
What makes this event so special is that it isn’t just about glamour, it’s about connection. We personally engage with our supporters, thank them for their continued loyalty, and celebrate the shared journey that has helped shape our brand. Watching our guests light up as they walk the red carpet, enjoy the festivities, and interact with the team reminds us that appreciation is best shown through genuine experiences. Many attendees leave expressing how valued and inspired they feel, which reaffirms our mission to make everyone who supports Compulsive Magazine feel like the star they truly are.
Breona, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
I’ve never been one to limit myself to a single industry or talent. My passion for art and creativity is far too broad to fit neatly into one box, which is why becoming a magazine publisher has been such a fulfilling journey for me. It allows me to explore all aspects of creativity from fashion and music to culture and storytelling and to dive deeper into the artistry behind each through thoughtful research and collaboration.
Before launching Compulsive Magazine, I spent several years working in the fashion industry as a wardrobe stylist and personal shopper. That experience not only sharpened my creative eye but also helped me build meaningful relationships and gain valuable insight into branding, presentation, and the power of personal expression. I always tell newcomers in the industry that success often starts with passion, not profit. In the beginning, I took on many projects without pay, but those experiences were priceless. They allowed me to grow, gain exposure, and create a foundation of integrity and purpose that guides my work today.
What I’m most proud of is my persistence and faith in the vision staying committed even when the road was uncertain. Building Compulsive Magazine from the ground up hasn’t been easy, but it’s been incredibly rewarding. Each issue represents not only creativity and collaboration but also resilience and purpose.
At its core, Compulsive Magazine was created to be a platform for ordinary people doing extraordinary things a space where talent, passion, and authenticity are celebrated. I want our readers and supporters to know that this brand is more than just a publication; it’s a movement that honors creativity in all forms and reminds people that their stories and voices matter.
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
For me, the most rewarding aspect of being a creative is the freedom of expression, the gift of free will. There’s something incredibly beautiful about being able to create whatever you feel, whenever inspiration strikes. It’s more than just producing art; it’s a form of healing. Each time I create, I’m releasing emotions, thoughts, and energy in a way that words alone often can’t capture.
Creativity is deeply spiritual for me because it comes from within from the source that lives inside each of us. It’s a reflection of our inner world, translated into something tangible that others can see, feel, or experience. And once that creative process is complete, being able to share it with others is just as fulfilling. Knowing that something I created from a place of authenticity can inspire, comfort, or bring joy to someone else is an indescribable reward.
Ultimately, creativity reminds me that there are no limits only possibilities. It’s both a personal journey and a universal language, connecting people through emotion, imagination, and truth. That sense of liberation and connection is what makes being a creative so powerful and endlessly fulfilling.
What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?
In an industry often dominated by celebrity gossip and sensationalized content, I believe what truly helped me build my reputation was choosing a different approach. From the very beginning, Compulsive Magazine was created with the intention of highlighting authenticity, positivity, and inspiration. We take pride in being a publication that uplifts rather than exploits, focusing on real stories, genuine talent, and creative expression.
I’ve always moved with grace and integrity, allowing people to share their journeys, gifts, and passions in a space that celebrates them rather than tears them down. There’s already so much negativity in the media, and I never wanted Compulsive to contribute to that noise. Instead, our goal has always been to create content that motivates, empowers, and connects with readers on a deeper level.
That commitment to authenticity and positive storytelling has resonated with our audience and the creative community alike. I think people respect that we stay true to our values no drama, no gossip, just real stories that inspire. That consistency and sincerity are what have helped me build a strong, trusted reputation within my market.
