00:00I'm a hustler.
00:01Oh, God, I have to repeat this?
00:04Um...
00:08These are so deep!
00:10Hey, guys, what's up?
00:11I'm Tia Mori, and this is my Essence magazine shoot.
00:19One thing that I am most proud about this year
00:23would definitely have to be my growth.
00:26I feel like I've grown a lot.
00:28I've evolved.
00:29I feel like I'm in this authentic, true, honest era of my life,
00:36and I'm just having, you know, a lot of fun.
00:39If this phase of my life was a song,
00:43it would be Who Runs the World? Girls.
00:47Who Runs the World? Girls by Beyoncé.
00:50I absolutely love Beyoncé.
00:52She's just... she's amazing.
00:54Three words that would describe my current self.
01:02Evolved, fun, and authentic.
01:07The affirmation that I would love to tell myself in the mirror would be
01:11stay curious, stay unattached, and stay present.
01:15Go-to self-care tip?
01:17I'm gonna say meditation.
01:19It's just been so wonderful for me.
01:21It's, like, mind-blowing.
01:23My next big goal or dream to just continue to evolve and grow and reach my potential
01:33when it comes to being, you know, a good, decent human being.
01:37And also love.
01:40I'm just a huge believer in...
01:45You really only get one shot at life.
01:48Take this opportunity and this time to do whatever it is that you want to do.
01:54I'm a go-getter.
01:55And I think it really takes you believing in yourself
01:58and not waiting on anybody else to believe in you.
02:02So it starts with you first.
02:05Yeah, just going for it, you know?
02:07And not looking back.
02:12When you learn how to spend time with oneself
02:17and really get to know oneself
02:21and love oneself,
02:23you are able to have better connections with others.
02:27I've found that in my time of self-discovery and solitude,
02:36I've been able to even become more present with the people that I love.
02:42Whatever decisions that I've been making
02:45and just how I've been moving through the world right now,
02:50I've just been very intentional with making sure that my thoughts
02:55and my behaviors are in alignment with what I want in life.
03:00I never knew how much learning about your inner child
03:07really, really affects your growth and your self-worth.
03:14So I think just doing a lot of inner child work,
03:20going back to that little girl and saying,
03:23I got you.
03:25Everything's going to be okay.
03:27Trust the process.
03:29I have your back.
03:31It's just been so mind-blowing to me
03:34how that really, really has helped with just my self-growth
03:39and my self-worth and just making better decisions for myself.
03:44Thanks, guys.
03:45Mwah!
