We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Roussie Jean Honore. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Roussie below.

Roussie , thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Can you open up about a risk you’ve taken – what it was like taking that risk, why you took the risk and how it turned out?

On January 17, 2022, I stepped foot in the United States for the first time as an immigrant with only a basic understanding of English. As a mother, I wanted to find a job that wouldn’t take too much of my time because being present for my children was my top priority.

While scrolling through Instagram one day, I kept seeing content about UGC. Curious, I did some research and discovered it stands for User Generated Content—a way for ordinary people like me to create videos or photos for brands without needing to post them on our own social media accounts, all while getting paid.

Despite my limited English skills, I decided to take a chance and dive into UGC. Looking back, it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Today, I’m proud to say that this path has opened countless doors for me. I’ve had the privilege of working with many well-known brands, and UGC has become my sole source of income.

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.

Hi, my name is Roussie, and I’m a content creator and UGC (User-Generated Content) specialist. My journey into this field started in 2022 when I immigrated to the United States. At the time, I was looking for a way to contribute financially while still being present for my kids, and I discovered the incredible world of UGC. Despite facing challenges like a language barrier, I took the leap, and it has truly changed my life.

As a UGC creator, I specialize in creating authentic, relatable videos and images for brands that connect with their audiences on a personal level. My work focuses on storytelling, helping brands showcase their products and services in ways that feel natural and engaging. Whether it’s through lifestyle imagery or short-form video content, I strive to bring value to brands by helping them build trust and loyalty with their customers.

What sets me apart is my personal approach to every project. As someone who started from scratch and built my career while balancing the responsibilities of motherhood, I bring a unique perspective to my work. I understand the importance of authenticity, and I pour that into everything I create. I also believe in fostering genuine relationships with the brands I work with—it’s not just about creating content but about telling their stories in a meaningful way.

I’m most proud of the doors this career has opened for me. I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with some incredible, well-known brands, and I’ve turned what started as a small leap of faith into a full-time career. More than that, I’ve shown myself and others that with courage and determination, anything is possible.

What I want people to know about me is that my work is rooted in passion and authenticity. Whether you’re a brand looking to connect with your audience or someone exploring UGC as a career, I’m here to share my journey and help others see the possibilities in their own lives.

We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?

Starting a social media career isn’t easy, but with passion, love, and determination, it can turn into an incredible achievement. My journey of building an audience on social media is rooted in staying authentic and being true to myself. I focused on learning how to connect with my audience by understanding what they truly want me to share with them.

For anyone starting to build their social media presence, my biggest advice is to be consistent. You won’t see results overnight—it takes patience, dedication, and a lot of hard work. Another key piece of advice is to avoid imitating others. Stay authentic to who you are, be honest with your audience, and trust that the right people will find you. Authenticity always shines through, and it’s what will set you apart.

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

As English is not my first language, creating all my content in English has been one of my biggest challenges. I’ve had to work ten times harder than a native English-speaking content creator to ensure my work resonates with my audience. Often, I encounter words that are difficult for me to pronounce when filming my videos. Thankfully, technology has been a great help—there are apps that can read and pronounce words for me, allowing me to practice and perfect my delivery.

I chose this career because it inspires me, and I refuse to let anything stand in my way. This journey has taught me that resilience and hard work can overcome any obstacle. If I can do it, I truly believe that anyone can achieve their dreams with enough determination and perseverance.
