We were lucky to catch up with Tiana Grace recently and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Tiana, thank you for being such a positive, uplifting person. We’ve noticed that so many of the successful folks we’ve had the good fortune of connecting with have high levels of optimism and so we’d love to hear about your optimism and where you think it comes from.
My late grandmother Shirley Hall was the catalyst to my positive mindset. She always taught me to be true to myself and that from any given situation there is a lesson to be learned. As far as I’m concerned, if we are learning, we are growing. Though life lessons may be painful, our failures do not have to be in vain. I’ve learned that every occurrence in life happens for us, and we can attribute negativity to growing pains on our own hero’s journey. The ability to reframe a failure into a learning experience is the difference between moving forward and regressing. When we grow, it usually hurts in some way. I often remind myself that painful emotions or circumstances that turned out less than ideal are growing pains; things my soul needs to become a better person. If it hurts, what can I learn from it? If I’ve failed, what can I do differently next time? Once a lesson is garnered from our challenges, we can see that all occurrences were made for our best and highest good. In my opinion, this kind of optimistic disposition is imperative for a happy and prosperous life.
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
I am the Founder and Creative Director of the www.thelastfashionbible.com. The Last Fashion Bible is an interactive hub of fashion and lifestyle-related content, featuring a mix of international runway shows, editorials, fashion industry insider interviews, beauty guru how-tos and much more. Our aim is to remove the exclusivity around the global fashion industry, instead, promoting inclusivity and aspirational concepts to our audience by introducing them to the people and creative processes behind the brands. We also seek to promote and highlight new age concepts such as the rise of technology, AI and sustainability practices within the fashion industry so as a fashion enthusiast you can stay informed of the latest trends and influences cultivating the world around us.
If you had to pick qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
If you have a dream to start your own business, website or passion project, envision the end result and work backwards from there to where you are now. Once the plan is in place, don’t delay – take action! I understand many people have other commitments in their lives, but if we don’t follow our hearts desire we will end up with regret. Don’t let the fear of failure or judgement keep you from your dreams because at the end of the day, the what-ifs will hurt much more than any failure ever could. Disregard criticism or commentary from people who are not living their own dreams. Reach out to those who inspire you in your everyday life. Ask questions, listen and learn. Be grateful. Be persistent. Take one action everyday (even if it is small) to get yourself closer to your end result and don’t look back!
How can folks who want to work with you connect?
At the moment we are expanding our Street Style segment and are looking to collaborate with photographers who are actively shooting at fashion weeks around the world. If you are a photographer with an eye for detail out on the streets in your town or city we would love to hear from you!
