Today we’d like to introduce you to Tara Wright
Hi Tara, 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?
I’m a content creator born and raised in Southern California with a passion for fitness, fashion, and food. If it involves creativity, movement, or great eats, I’m in!
My journey started 8 years ago while studying broadcast journalism, where I started my career in media, working with a news station and a media promotions company. That’s when I fell in love with content creation—finding those hidden gems, highlighting local spots, and sharing upcoming events in the area.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
The journey hasn’t always been easy, but perseverance is key! In media, brand deals, and modeling, you get told no more often than yes. But with each no, I’ve grown stronger, more determined, and more grateful for the opportunities that do come my way and the pleasure of those that I get to work with.
Social media isn’t what it was 10 years ago, it’s ever-evolving and you have to be willing to adapt and there is still opportunity to grow and build your brand or business. Collaborating with other creators, attending meetups, content groups, and being part of a supportive community has made all the difference for me. Join a social club, reach out to other creators that you align with, find local brand events, and make an effort to attend. Networking is gold!
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
While content creating, I grew my social media platforms, opening doors to collaborations with travel agencies and hotels, showcasing the best of Southern California and beyond. I really enjoy promoting local events, creating content, and editing recaps through collaboration or being booked as a media invite with local spots. In 2023, I had the opportunity to become a full-time content creator for the Off The Menu app and provide posts for their Instagram. Connecting OC and LA foodies to the hottest dining spots and exclusive deals was so much fun for me! Plus, I’ve had the pleasure of creating UGC for travel, beauty, and wellness brands.
On the foodie side, my love for cooking led me to submit a recipe to a cooking contest, which landed me my first cookbook feature for Quest Nutrition. I’ve worked with a private chef, prepped for a catering company, and now I’m in the kitchen developing new recipes regularly. My goal? To publish my very own cookbook within the next 5 years.
Fitness is another big part of my life. I’ve been a fitness instructor for 4 years, competed in a fitness bikini pageant, done photoshoots for fashion designers and brands, and even walked in a fashion show. These experiences are all about having fun, staying healthy, and promoting a positive body image. Confidence isn’t just something you put on—it’s something you feel when you push yourself to try new things.
I’m often told what sets me apart from others is that I bring out the best in people, helping them see their potential and motivating them to pursue their passions. I genuinely believe in abundance—there’s more than enough success and opportunity for all of us. I’m always happy to share what I’ve learned because what’s meant for you will always find its way. Let’s grow together!
What matters most to you? Why?
What matters most to me is living a life filled with purpose, passion, and positivity. Whether I’m in the gym, behind the camera, or in the kitchen, I’m always focused on doing what I love and sharing that joy with others. Helping people discover their potential—whether it’s through fitness, creativity, or connecting them to a new experience gives me so much fulfillment. I love meeting like-minded individuals and networking because you never know how much an interaction can impact someone’s day or even their life. Whether it’s sharing ideas, visions, collaborating on projects, or offering support and feedback, each connection leads to the potential for growth. I believe we thrive when we uplift each other, and being part of an encouraging community that shares that mindset makes everything more rewarding.
We only get one shot at this life, you’ve got to make it count. Take chances and experiences when they come your way. Prepare for opportunities, invest in yourself, take the risk, and never stop learning!
