Today on Vulnerable, I get to chat with Tia Stokes. She is the dancing QUEEN on TikTok. You may remember her from dancing to Glorious by Macklemore (feat. Skyler Grey) throughout her cancer journey. I was an avid follower and was rooting for her and her family. In this episode, Tia shares with me how she got into dancing and her decision to document her cancer + other illness via video. She gave us a real perspective on what it was like to be seriously sick during the height of the pandemic on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. She wanted to communicate to all there is still goodness in the midst of hard situations. She is currently cancer free, and beyond her social media fame and content creation, she designs merch, owns Vault Dance Studio, and is a wife and mom to 5. Tia's joy and optimism are so infectious. I am so grateful for her and her choosing to dance to support those who are going through health trials. So during this holiday season, I want to remind you of something that Tia said in our conversation. Every day, we have a chance to start again. So no matter where you are or what you are feeling, you are glorious! Follow Tia @thetiabeestokes on Instagram and TikTok. You can you can follow along her work at her website - tiabee.org.
