Meet Tatiana Harrison | The Woman Behind The Brand

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

Hi Tatiana, every day, we about how much execution matters, but we think ideas matter as well. How did you come up with the idea for your brand?
I created my blog, Talk To Tatiana, as an extension of my personal brand. The blog is an outlet to express myself beyond an aesthetics and to provide insight on life and business, as I know it, to others who are intrigued.

Please tell us more about your work. We’d love to hear what sets you apart from others, what you are most proud of or excited about. How did you get to where you are today professionally. Was it easy? If not, how did you overcome the challenges? What are the lessons you’ve learned along the way. What do you want the world to know about you or your brand and story?
What makes my blog, Talk To Tatiana, so special is that I understand the brand is a representation of me. I am a Southern woman with Caribbean roots and raised by Northerners. From that background alone, my perspective and view on the world is not one size fits all. Knowing the ingredients of what contributes to who and what you are is the origin of anyone’s journey. I have always been able to contribute various angles to a conversation that drives one to open their mind. It would be impossible for me to create a platform to discuss real life and business matters if I did not fail, win, and learn within those same matters nor continuously improve – and I’m still at it.

Professionally, I have had the advantage of partaking in corporate and starting profitable businesses in beauty, fashion, marketing, logistics, insurance, and more. I am a wealth of knowledge that foresees myself as a student always seeking to learn and execute, regardless of my position or experience. Personally, I have had the advantage to experience moments full of love, laughter, and grief. Even establish, sustain, and discontinue relationships, platonic or romantic, that fueled or molded me to be better in setting boundaries and continuing to thrive. I am a first generation for many things. Therefore I had to figure out an efficient pathway and process to majority in which I desire to share and help someone else.

Talk To Tatiana is where I dive deep into my story while educating others, expressing my vulnerability, and allowing myself to not be politically correct. In the beginning I informed my tribe (subscribers) “ You may be in awe, appalled, or even … emotional but every piece you will learn.” That still applies today and I welcome those intrigued to feel every emotion as you become more in tune with me.

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.
Well my best friend and I are foodies who enjoy a nice ambiance and experience. Some of our stops would be Ka Thai in Uptown, Al Biernat for brunch, Slutty Vegan in Deep Ellum for lunch, Drake’s Hollywood for dinner, pick a draw for the rooftop, Farmer’s Market to pick out fresh produce, my house for breakfast and soul food with a Caribbean flare, and The Potter’s House Of Dallas on Sunday.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
First and foremost, God. It is impossible for me to undergo any trial or gain any success without him. Next, would definitely be my support system which includes close friends, family, and Talk To Tatiana’s subscribers.
