SFM: What inspired you to produce the FRUIT you've loosed into the world?
Tannika Moore: Well, my Father, God, inspires me to live and produce. It is He who delivered me and continues to deliver me from the grips of fear and it's many manifestations. So, every day I am inspired to move forward, face my fears, grow, and make an impact on this world. My family also inspired me. I am always thinking of their future along with mine. Nonetheless, I have been blessed to realize my talents and spiritual gifts, and I realized they are for the benefit of others. I have always loved to encourage others and often concerned with what is going on with them. I have found my love of writing at the age of 11/12 and my love for God's Word. So, I had to get my writing and exhortation in the hands of others. My clothing brand, I did not see that coming but the light bulb went off when I was initially creating a shirt, with the help of my little sisters, for one of my poems in my first released book. "Hmmm, I can have my own inspirational, Christian tees for my business!" I thought! I always wanted to be an entrepreneur too so it's like everything is all coming together.
SFM: Finish this statement. The look and likes of beauty...
Tannika Moore: The look and likes of beauty are defined differently by the eyes of each beholder. However, it is God who created and truly defines beauty. True beauty emerges from within to resonate on the outside and shines through one's confidence, smile, and character.
SFM: Are there any upcoming events for Fruitful & Fabulous you wish to overshare?
