We had the pleasure of scheduling a Zoom call with her, where we got to interview her and ask her our burning questions! Listen to our interview on your sound cloud! LInk Below :)
When did you start making Tik Toks?
I started making Tik Toks I think around early August, I started making them because I was just really bored and I wanted to make some new friends, so I decided to post a video.
What kind of Tik Toks do you make? What influenced you to make these Tik Toks?
My Tik Toks are all about empowering young women and men to express themselves without being ashamed or worried. It’s all about being fearless and expressing what makes you unique. I really drive to embrace confidence and always give little reminders to be who you are and express yourself.
What do you want your followers to gain from watching your videos?
My Tik Toks are all about expressing yourself and gaining confidence, so I really want my followers to gain confidence and really learn what they love about themselves. That’s really what my platform is all about.
How has your life changed since you made your first viral Tik Tok?
Definitely. I’ve really learned the importance of confidence. So even myself, from doing the Tik Toks, I’ve gained confidence myself. A lot of my supporters and a lot of the comments, it’s just really changed my outlook on life. And I’ve really become more positive and supportive of others around me honestly.
Besides Tik Tok, what interests do you have?
I used to do competitive cheer. And that’s something I don’t think I’m done with yet, I’ve taken a break because of Covid and some things that happened, but I really enjoy cheerleading, tumbling, all that sort. I really like being athletic, and exercise is really important for you too, I really enjoy that.
What celebrities are you inspired by?
I really enjoy people like Britney Spears and Tana Mongeau because they really just embody confidence and empowering all sorts of people, and just not worrying and being fearless. I really think being fearless is a really important part that plays into confidence, so I think that those two people really portray those assets.
Any upcoming projects?
I’ve honestly been thinking about starting a Youtube Channel. I know a lot of Tik Tokers and Youtubers do both, so I’ve been thinking about making one with my sister. Who knows, but I also have been working with a company called Nova Shine, and we have some special campaigns that I’m super excited about.
Your Tik Toks focus on having self confidence. Has this always been easy for you to get into that mindset?
Actually, no. Growing up, I’ve always been back and forth between shy and very confident. Growing up I’ve had experiences where people have tried to bring me down, but those experiences have really shown me how to lift myself up, and that you have to find it within yourself to be fearless. And honestly, going through those experiences have really helped shape me and realize that you don’t need anybody but yourself. It comes within your true self.
Any last advice for our readers?
I would really just say like I said earlier, everyone has unique aspects that makes them them, so really just finding what you enjoy and what makes you happy is really important at being confident, and like I keep saying, being fearless is really really important, and that comes through life experiences, and realizing that it comes from within you, and that you are the only person that can do it, no one else decide your fate, and you should not listen to anybody else but yourself.
