We recently connected with Jasmine Rayam and have shared our conversation below.

Jasmine , appreciate you joining us today. Did you always know you wanted to pursue a creative or artistic career? When did you first know?

The first time I knew I wanted to pursue a creative path professionally was when I was around 14. I wanted to be a singer/song writer. I attended a performing arts school in Newark, NJ by the name of Arts High. I would write songs and even performed some of my original songs at showcases. After graduating I discovered that I enjoyed being behind the scenes. I went to SAE to learn how to become an audio engineer. After years of recording artists and myself my dream started to die. Life had set in and bills were due so I became a flight attendant and I earned a degree in Business Management. I completely gave up in music but still yearned to be creative. My dream of becoming a content creator formed. I love how being a creative gives me the opportunity to use my mind and build a community of those who think like me. I love editing videos and sharing my true self on the screen with my audience. I am learning that consistency is the way to build so I am working on that. I can’t wait to see how far this journey will take me.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

I honestly got into the business of being a creator honestly by watching others. I would watch Youtubers and think wow I can do that. The content I provide are Flight Attendant life, natural hair, beauty, and personal growth. I know most people say “girl you have to niche down” but I wouldn’t be my true self if I did. I believe that is what sets me apart from others. I’m a spirit filled with so many different textures and I’m willing to share them with the world. I think the most thing I am proud of is my ability to keep pushing myself and being teachable. I can always learn more and be better and I think it shows through my work.

What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?

The most rewarding aspect of being a creative is when someone says they enjoy my content or that I inspired them to follow their own dreams and goals. It lets me know that I am doing the right thing by flowing my dreams.

Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?

This is going to sound so cliche but it’s the honest truth. I built it with consistency and being myself. If I have a thought or an idea I put it out there even if I look stupid. I know that there are billions of people in this world and somebody somewhere will relate to me. That’s how you build community. It’s also how you get confident in front of a camera. With me posting my interests I’ve been able to build relationships with other creators and followers who are interested in the same things.
