Tyshaia was a young black girl who dreamt of being in the spaces where people told stories, spearheaded bold ideas and made the world more beautiful. But, she didn’t see her experiences or identity reflected in these spaces. She hoped of one day hearing the stories, seeing the imagery and finding the products that truly resonated with her and her community. Here she is now, years later. 

Currently at the Fifteen Percent Pledge, Tyshaia is a Brooklyn-based freelance photographer, marketer & creative strategist. Her creative focuses lie within fashion, travel and culturally resonate brands. With a deep interest in storytelling across various creative mediums, the lifelong student is driven by the vision of a more beautiful, accessible and elevated world for Black and Brown people.The intersection of her industry interest and purpose-driven strategies allows her to actively contribute to this idea of social change. 

She lives by the belief that other people’s lives are tied into an individual owning their dreams. So here she is… dreaming, doing, and most importantly seeking growth and discomfort in her day to day life.
