We were lucky to catch up with Kanise recently and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Kanise, thanks for joining us today. So, let’s start with a hypothetical – what would you change about the educational system?

The education system should focus more on setting students up for success and less on the periodic table of elements. As we transition from high-school to the real world, we’re faced with a reality that the education system didn’t prepare us for. Young adults know little to nothing about building wealth, home buying, credit, taxes, or even maneuvering adult relationships. If I had a say so in our education system I would create spaces for students to flourish in their individual talents. I truly believe we were all placed here for a different reason that ultimately connects us all. If we were all able to fully invest time into our God given talents from birth, harmony would be achieved.

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?

In 2016 I did my first relationship based video titled ‘6 Signs Your Boyfriend Is Cheating On You’. I didn’t know as much then that I know now about relationships, but I certainly knew a lot more than my peers and people my age who watched me on the net. The video did so well than I began creating more relationship based advice videos surrounding dating, cheating, and breaking up! In 2021 my TikTok video showcasing my open relationship went viral and that opened the door to share my expertise on unconventional dating. Now at 26, and fresh out of my 3 and a half year relationship, my main focus right now is helping women move on from heartbreak in a way that sets them up for future success regarding relationships. I created the Post Breakup Journal because I know first hand how difficult getting over heartbreak is. Organized by the 5 stages of grief, the Post Breakup Journal has over 60 writing prompts & activities to make getting over your ex a hell of lot easier.

Are there any books, videos or other content that you feel have meaningfully impacted your thinking?

‘You Are A Badass’ by Jen Sincero is the first book that truly shifted my outlook on life and manifesting. I was 22, fresh out of a toxic relationship and all I knew was that I wanted to move to Florida and make great money as an entrepreneur. At the time I had been fully self employed on YouTube but I certainly wasn’t making enough to fully support myself. The book shifted my perspective and my mind, and by following the advice in the book 6 months later I was driving from Baltimore, MD to Tampa, FL as a self employed YouTuber who was now making enough to fully support herself!

How did you build your audience on social media?

Showing up as your authentic self beats chasing an aesthetic any day. When I look back at the times I grew the most on social media, my aesthetic was lacking but my content wasn’t! It may not seem like it but we care more about what people have to say than we do what their background looks like. Show up as yourself, create high quality content, and the support will come!
