Tamara Nicole South,

Bronx-based Christian Lifestyle Blogger

What inspired you to start a blog? How would you describe your blog niche?

I was a stay at home mom and wanted something to do I loved writing so I thought I would talk about the things going on in my life as a Christian mom and wife and take my mind off of kids all day.

Tell us about a typical work day as a blogger. What time do you stop/start your workday?

I work around the clock I typically start pitching to brands at about 8 am and I don’t end until 9 pm. I do a lot of brand collaborations and still taking the time to write about my own personal life.

I dedicate between four to five hours a day to my blog and that depends on what I have going on. I am also a fitness coach, so I workout in the mornings after I drop my kids off at school. I pick them up from school, we do homework and dinner. I have “me time” with my husband by 8 pm,  unless I have a deadline approaching for a sponsored post.

How would you describe your blogging niche?

I am a Christian lifestyle blogger.

If God wrote a letter about you what would it say? This is what I think God would say about me. There’s a girl named Tamara Nicole South her mother died when she was six and her father died when she was thirteen. She has a hard time understanding that what happened to her was for her good. I had her life in my hands. Tamara grew very angry and bitter towards me she thought I hated her. Tamara had a lot of self hate and many times tried to commit suicide but I love my daughter so much I couldn’t see her die. She excelled in the world but spiritually she was dying. Every time I tried to talk to her she ignored me it grieved my heart. Tamara went as far as trying to jump out of a 20 story window I called her to stop and she heard me and got down off the ledge of the window. She got down on her knees and told me that she needs me and loves me and she can’t do this by herself. I sent angels to minister to her. I rejoiced over her my daughter finally listened to me. Over time my daughter say her self worth through my eyes she is beautifully and wonderfully made in my image. #womanofworth

When you hear the word “micro influencer”, what do you think of? Do you embrace it?

As a person with a smaller number of followers, when I think of micro influencer it’s an influencer on a smaller scale.  I embrace it because it’s not about quantity micro influencers are still influencing the world around them in their own way.

Describe your “dream” brand partnership?

My dream partnership would be a sponsored marriage vow renewal in the Caribbean.

What’s the next big project you’re working on? What do you want to accomplish by the end of the year?

I am currently working on starting a non-profit organization.  I am also on a health journey as a fitness coach, so I am incorporating my fitness journey in my blog.
