Hi! My name is Takera. I took some time away from creating after burnout, I did hiit a great stride last year but had to move out the country for work. I was never super consistent but now find it difficult to be okay with cringe as I try to jump back in. My Why: My brand is Flights and Foods. My Why is really about curiosity and connection. I want to encourage people to experience the world beyond the typical tourist attractions. I want folks to try the food, meet the people, learn the culture, and discover the stories that make a place special. And hopefully, while doing that, I can help shine a light on the small businesses and communities that make those experiences possible. My Pillars: Because I like alliteration I’m going with Curiosity, Connection, and Culture. I used to say Food, Travel and Culture. Content: IG - Love this because I consider myself and introvert and I tried A LOT of new things and loved the experience. I wasn’t afraid to ask for help filming and everything came together how I envisioned….until IG dropped my sound (I plan to repost it). https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJrjxHIRSba/?stkn=M2tiazh0enJnZ2Ux YT - I also dipped my toe in YouTube and tried a vlog. Love this because it was scary but I did it anyway. I’d really like to focus Yt and IG moving forward and learn how not to focus on perfection and just post. https://youtu.be/qY7KCOGZFfk?is=kocLTtZXC7wlKpLr

Hi everyone, I am one of the aspiring creators, so I don't have anything to show for content yet... I am working towards a mini documentary and definitely need to get over cringe mountain first. I want to start documenting my journey as I research more about my documentary topic, practice the craft, and study film and filmmaking. I wanted to pursue photojournalism but...life, so I am starting here. My photo portfolio is a mess right now but I'll add a link to a photo story/article I wrote on there if you want an idea of what my work might look/sound like. I don't have any video stories up because I keep getting stuck in the editing stage. I'm rambling because I'm nervous. My why is getting to a place where I have the confidence and skill to make this documentary. It is a story worth telling. In general, that is my why. Every story is worth telling. Everyone deserves to be heard and seen. Also, convincing myself that I am capable of being that storyteller. My pillars are: Chronicle, Connect & Create I'm glad to be in this with all of you! My YouTube inspo is the creator Hallease and I will link something from her, too.
