Life & Work with Tatianna Alexxus of Detroit, MI

Today we’d like to introduce you to Tatianna Alexxus

Hi Tatianna, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
My journey has been one of transformation, resilience, and growth. I started as someone who struggled with self-doubt and lacked confidence, but I always had a burning desire to create a life that felt purposeful & meaningful. Over the years, I learned to turn my pain into power, using my personal experiences to build unwavering faith in myself and God’s plan for my life.

In my heart, I’ve always known I would become a photographer eventually. Many of my childhood photos are pictures that I’ve taken from older digital cameras my parents owned or on their phones. But unfortunately, after years of trying to live for other people, I made a decision to step out on faith and choose myself.

I began capturing food which I loved temporarily, but it’s something beautiful about capturing people. The knowing that everyone has a story to share with their eyes and body language. Which led to me being fully invested in photography and the art of storytelling as a whole.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It would be an absolute lie if I said it’s been a smooth road. But is anything we do in this world truly a smooth road? If it was linear, I wouldn’t learn to appreciate the journey nor the destination. There are so many struggles I’ve faced such as comparison as a creative. Feeling as if I need certain camera equipment to confirm that I’m just as talented and gifted as many other creators I look up to. Coming to the understanding that my work is different from others and learning to accept that I was never meant to truly fit in but instead stand out. Downplaying my accomplishments within my creativity. But every rejection and redirection has currently led me to a place where I now feel more confident in allowing myself to make mistakes. To focus less on perfectionism and more on the progress. Taking the necessary time to slow down & honor how far I’ve truly came on my journey simply because I have. Even now, I do not have state-of-the-art equipment. I don’t have the $3,000 camera body or lens. But what I have is ambition, creativity, determination and most importantly a vision. And that’s all I need in order to be successful.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
My work is rooted in inspiring others to embrace their confidence, find their purpose, and live intentionally. Through my podcast, Unwavering Faith (unreleased but coming VERY soon), I create a safe space for people to reflect, heal, and grow by sharing personal stories, lessons, and practical tools for overcoming self-doubt and challenges.

Beyond my podcast, I specialize in creative storytelling through photography, videography, and social media content creation. I’m passionate about capturing authentic moments and crafting visuals that connect emotionally with audiences.

What I’m most proud of is the courage to share my story and turn my pain into purpose. Starting my podcast and building a platform that inspires others to trust their process and believe in their worth has been incredibly fulfilling.

What sets me apart is my authenticity and vulnerability. I’m not afraid to share the struggles behind the scenes because I know that’s where the most powerful transformations happen. I approach my work with a deep sense of empathy and a commitment to empowering others to create their dream lives, just as I’m creating mine.

Any big plans?
If I’m being honest, I don’t know what’s next for me. All I know is God has a plan for me. Plans to prosper me, not to harm me. Plans to give me hope and a future. Where I’m currently at is fully investing all aspects of my creativity and taking a risk on myself that it will lead to my inevitable success.
