We had the good fortune of connecting with Dyesha Flanigan and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Dyesha, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
I chose a creative career because I’m a creative person. I’ve always enjoyed art & anything I can pretty much make my own. What made me push and take content creating seriously was TikTok. TikTok made it easy to show case my talent & monetize it.
Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I am a fashion content creator. I started off by making a random video of different outfits & people enjoyed them. So I would make fashion videos all day. Then that got a little too easy for me. So, I decided to get a jar of popsicle sticks with different colors written on them & select 2-3 from random then pick my outfits using the colors that was chosen. By doing this I gained my first 1m views on TikTok which was very exciting for me. By creating fashion videos I’ve had a lot of people reach out to me for styling tips. So this prompted me to start offering wardrobe services. No, this was not easy because I did not no where to start or how to price my service. I basically just winged it until I finally got the nerve to reach out to someone already in styling profession. She was happy that I reached out for help & I am truly thankful for her.
My brand is for everybody, I don’t cater to specific aesthetic or lifestyle when it comes to fashion because I love it all. When you see my profile I have outfit ideas for everybody. So, you may not like everything on my page but you will something.
