Dear TikTok, Thank you for being more than just an app, it’s been a place of healing, connection, opportunity, and growth during one of the most challenging and transformative times of my life. When my dad passed, I felt a void I didn’t know how to fill. The grief was overwhelming, and I struggled to find ways to process it. But TikTok became an unexpected lifeline. Sharing my story, honoring my dad’s memory, and connecting with others who’ve experienced loss gave me a sense of comfort and community I didn’t know I needed. Through TikTok, I’ve not only found healing but also opportunity. This platform helped us open and grow my husband’s company. What started as a dream turned into a reality because of the exposure, support, and encouragement we’ve received here. TikTok helped us reach clients, build relationships, and showcase what makes our business special. TikTok also helped my mom grow her own little business after my dad’s passing. She needed a way to support herself, and this platform became a lifeline for her too. The kindness and encouragement from this community have given her the confidence and means to build something she’s proud of. I’m also beyond grateful to the brands that took a chance on me and worked with us. Collaborating with them has opened doors I never dreamed possible. Thank you to the countless opportunities that have come my way, I’ve been able to experience things I once only imagined. And let’s not forget the amazing creator friends I’ve met along the way. From sharing laughs to swapping ideas and cheering each other on, these relationships have been life changing. They’ve made this journey feel less like work and more like building a family. To everyone who’s liked, shared, commented, or just watched: thank you. You’ve helped us grow not only our businesses but also our hearts. You’ve reminded me that even in the hardest times, creativity, connection, and a little bit of courage can light the way forward. We hope to see you in the next chapter of our life because a movie can’t be made without its supporting cast.
