We had the good fortune of connecting with Tyshianna Jackson and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Tyshianna, what’s the most difficult decision you’ve ever had to make?
The most difficult decision I’ve ever had to make was choosing myself. As a person who always makes sure that everyone else is okay I always forgot to take care of myself. It was difficult for me to be “selfish”. I became selfish with my time. The moment that I was able to focus on my needs and wants I was able to be in a creative space to help others while helping myself.
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’m for sure a professional before anything else. I work in the corporate world from 8am-5pm but immediately after I’m a creative. I designed “Melanated Matters Of the Heart” affirmation journals for melanated women like myself. For those who have been betrayed, felt lost, undeserving and unworthy. My goal was to let them know how valuable and special we are. The road has definitely been a bumpy one but unquestionably worth the ride.
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 currently reside in Sin City. Las Vegas is full of exciting people and places. First things first I love a little adventure so we’d go ATV riding through the Mojave Desert, Ziplining on Fremont (Downtown Las Vegas), Brunch at Mrs. Coco Cafe, Mimosa Yacht cruise in Lake Las Vegas, spa day at RedRock resort and spa, cocktails at AFT cocktail deck at the Wynn and dinner at Lolo’s Chicken and Waffles. Las Vegas has so many hidden gems to explore!
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I definitely have to Thank the MOST HIGH GOD for every experience, the good and the bad. I’ve learned so much over the past few years about myself and about loving ME. Secondly, My parents who have been extremely supportive through my ups and downs. They never gave up on me! Thirdly, My unselfish, patient, loving, understanding, and caring partner. He gives nothing but unconditional healthy love. And lastly, Anyone who has supported me throughout my journey whether it was a listening ear, a share, or a purchase. Thank you for all of your love.
