We had the good fortune of connecting with Tierra Shelton and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tierra, how has your work-life balance changed over time?
This is something that I have struggled with in the past. I am just now learning how to balance my work life and my personal life. I work alot. Between my businesses, modeling, content creation, etc…my work life can be an overload. My life really consists of 60/40.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I have always been different. I have always been UNAPOLOGETICALLY me. I do not like fitting in. I was born to stand out. I have had others judge me because I am a free spirited person. At the end of the day, I do what I want. The crazy part is, the decisions I make do not even harm others or myself.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I would definitely say downtown Birmingham area or Avondale. I have been living here for 5 years now and let’s just say it was a challenging beginning. A definite culture shock. I will say that Birmingham, AL has grown alot and now there are way more things to do.
