HER VISION: Tiarra Moore

---

Please introduce yourself to our readers:
Hello! My name is Tiarra Moore, and I am a 17-year science educator, fruit and vegetable gardener, and budding entrepreneur. I am originally from Buffalo, NY, but now reside in Metro Atlanta, GA. I have the privilege of merging my science education background with one of my businesses, which is educating women about the dangers of conventional sanitary napkins and tampons on the female reproductive system and body and providing them with a safe alternative through Jewel Premium Sanitary Napkins. I am also a crafter! I create custom rhinestone, vinyl, and printed shirts, accessories, and keepsakes. 
My greatest testament of strength is that I am a lupus survivor.  I was diagnosed in 2004, the same year my father passed away from a heart attack. That was one of the most challenging years of my life.  Living with lupus has been a hard road, but I've learned to manage it greatly by healing my gut and through diet and nutrition, as well as the Creator's grace and mercy.

What makes you a visionary?
What makes me a visionary is that I lead with intention, am not afraid to take risks, and have a gift of developing creative and innovative solutions to problems. Being a visionary certainly requires much patience, perseverance, and confidence because the manifestation of ones vision isn't always immediate and sometimes one will face scrutiny because others cannot see what they see. Visionaries see the possible obstacles and challenges associated with their vision and understand that there will be setbacks, but they never give up knowing that there is great value in fulfilling the vision. This is how I operated as an educator and am bringing those same principles into my businesses. 

Share the 3 key steps that helped you bring your vision to life:
The three key step that helped me bring my vision to life were

1. Establishing strategic priorities.  Admittedly, I have many ideas running around in this brain of mine and often try to do it all. However, spreading myself too thin will cause me to be a jack of all trades and a master of none. Establishing one or two strategic priorities helps me focus on what's most important. 
2. Determining the behavior changes that will support my strategic priorities.  In order to reach my target market, I have to think and behave differently. I am a reserved, introverted person.  However, behaving this way will not get me many customers.  I had to come out of my shell and come up with creative ways to market my message and get sales.
3. Staying consistent. Building a business is a daunting task.  Along with successes, there are many bumps in the road, "failures," curve balls, and lessons learned. It's very easy to give up when you feel like your business isn't growing according to your expectations.  However, reflecting back on your vision and priorities and staying consistent is the key to getting results.

What is next for you in 2020?
In 2020 I plan to establish a greater social media presence by developing a YouTube channel where feminine health and wellness topics are discussed. I would also like to incorporate tips to start and support small businesses with cameos from experts in the field.
