In this episode, Akilah sits down with BIG Tiny and Ashley Dixon to discuss entrepreneurship as content creators and influencers. Both Atlanta-based, BIG Tiny is a singer, and songwriter and Ashley is a full-time entrepreneur creating content focused on home decor and DIY projects.

Having two very different paths, BIG Tiny and Ashley share their journeys to becoming successful full-time content creators, not shying away from the realities of what it took to get to where they are now - imposter syndrome, zero-income months, preparing to leave secure jobs, and more. They also talk about the evolution of being a creator, what it means to be a Black woman in this space, the ebb and flow of social media, and what’s actually important when it comes to working with brands (hint: it’s not the number of followers you have).

Listen in to hear valuable tips for newbies or anyone who wants to break into the creator scene and solid advice for monetization, but more importantly, how to stay true to yourself, reclaim your power, and operate in your purpose in the world of content creation and influencing.
