We were lucky to catch up with Taydrianna Moore recently and have shared our conversation below.
Taydrianna, appreciate you making time for us and sharing your wisdom with the community. So many of us go through similar pain points throughout our journeys and so hearing about how others overcame obstacles can be helpful. One of those struggles is keeping creativity alive despite all the stresses, challenges and problems we might be dealing with. How do you keep your creativity alive?
The way I keep creativity alive is enjoying myself. If you are not enjoying what you are trying to do, no amount of creativity or imagination will salvage the disdain you now have. Creative activities should be enjoyed and loved. Being happy about the work I do causes ideas to flow easily. I also create a space that allows me to have great success such as, my imagination & creativity. I would also say giving myself breaks & taking some time to relax. Me allowing to give myself just a little bit of relaxation allows ideas & inspiration to come to me even when I’m not searching for it
Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
My name is Taydrianna Moore . I am a hairstylist , content creator , & wig influencer on TikTok. Ever since I was 14 years old I always knew I wanted to become a hair stylist & an influencer . I’ve had teachers , my parents , & peers always tell me that I was a leader & that there was something special about me. I began to perfect my craft after I graduated in 2020. I built my brand over time & decided to name my Hair brand ManeTained By T. The name behind it has meaning to it. “ allowing myself to maintain my clients hair & also allowing them to have a safe space & be able to just be theirselves .” Now know you’re probably wondering where being a TikTok influencer / Content Creator Comes into play ? I always knew I wanted to be someone that can influence others. TikTok is where my safe space is at & where I could just be me & be very creative in the gift God gave me. I started in Highschool with TikTok just as a fun , creative space. It started out as fun until I realized all of the acknowledgment & followers I was gaining . I realized that I could maybe become more than just someone who enjoys TikTok & posting . Over the years until now I have been offered amazing opportunities with brands , & people in general. TikTok has allowed me to be different & become creative with my clients , & myself as well . I saw that I had peers & other people that were from my hometown & all over the world wondering how I get paid to post , or even how I get to get so much free things such as , wigs, clothes , shoes , etc. Me knowing that I had others intrigued in what I do made me realize that I was a inspiration to others . I took that & pushed myself to come up with the idea of making a e-book. My e-book is called Ultimate Wig Influencer 101 Course Playbook . My ebook gives everyone all the knowledge they would need to know such as starting from scratch , setting rates / negotiating , 90+ hair company emails , content creator , 65 viral hooks ,personal branding , marketing , how to spot scams , & so much more ! I wouldn’t have thought of doing anything like this without the support from my clients , peers , my followers & my husband . Just over the past year I have gotten to experience things I’d never thought I would be able to . I also wanted to be a role model to little girls that look like me & think that they couldn’t do it.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
The three skills that were impactful in my journey are creativity , adversity, & being unique. The advice I would have for everyone is be patient with yourself . Don’t be so hard on yourself just because you see yours peers or someone you may even look up to doing better than you. God puts everyone at their own pace for reasons. I’d also say never try to compare yourself to others that will be your biggest downfall. I myself can definitely tell you it’s hard not doing that because myself have done that many times but you never know what others are truly really going through or what it took them to get where they are . Which is why being your true self will always be what’s best for you. Give yourself a break from social media . Social media can ruin you if you allow it to . What I mean by that is I’ll give myself an example “ I used to compare my lifestyle to others , & also would even feel bad about myself when I’d see strangers talk about me on my TikTok platform it would hurt me sometimes . Which is where taking a break from social media comes into play . You have to give yourself that alone time from social media because if you continue to read things people have said about you or even compare yourself to others it can ruin you mentally & even physically .
One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?
I am looking for other hair stylist & other that are looking to become content creators so that we could branch out & have even more opportunities I have had & even opportunities I haven’t had. They can reach me at my email [email protected] , TikTok ( Taydriannam1 ) , My Facebook page ( Taydrianna Moore ) or reach me at my cell (573) 703-6776
