I want to be someone they can really connect with. Building this connection isn’t always easy, but it’s incredibly rewarding.

Tatie, 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?
After high school, I tried to continue pursuing fashion design in the real world, which was challenging but a valuable learning experience. Alongside this, I started building my portfolio as a model, collaborating with various photographers and fellow models. My entry into the influencer world came naturally because I often went viral by posting relatable or funny content. I began creating content that people could connect with, working with smaller brands along the way.
What I offer is a passion for creating content, whether it’s in fashion, hair, or makeup. I aspire to collaborate with well-known brands and expand my presence in the industry. What sets me apart is my uniqueness. I’m not afraid to be different, to explore what others might shy away from, and this makes me proud. Connecting with my audience on topics they often can’t express is what I cherish the most. I’m proud of the woman I’m becoming and aspire to be one of the best in the field.
What I want my audience to know is that I’m a loving, caring, and genuine person. I encourage them to never give up on their dreams, because even in the face of countless “no’s,” there will be a million “yeses” and blessings coming their way if they keep going. It’s essential to remember where you came from, as my dad once told me: “Have success and nothing less.”
What can society do to ensure an environment that’s helpful to artists and creatives?
To help artists, creatives, and influencers in our society, we should start by respecting and appreciating their creative work. This means supporting arts and culture, making sure that creative education is available to everyone, and paying artists fairly for what they do. We should also protect their rights to their work, encourage local talent, and include people from all backgrounds. Using the internet to share their work globally is important too. It’s also good to have programs where artists can exchange ideas and learn from each other. We should be aware that artists might face unique challenges, and it’s important to help them with their mental health. Building strong creative communities through teamwork and learning from others is also a great way to support them. By doing these things, we can create an environment where artists, creatives, and influencers can do well, add to our culture, and keep inspiring and connecting with people all over the world.
We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?
I’ve built my social media audience by starting on Facebook and having a few people share your content, which then spread to more people..I continued on TikTok and Instagram, where I gained more followers and became more popular. Staying consistent with my content and not giving up, even when I don’t get many likes or shares, has been key to my success. My advice for those starting on social media is to keep going because someone is always watching. Even if you don’t get many likes or comments, keep promoting yourself. Interact and connect with others, don’t be shy about promoting your work, and keep learning and improving your skills. The most important thing is to never stop and to keep going every day
