#36 - Kaisha Huguley: Creating On Tik Tok

Facebook. Twitter. Instagram. And now Tik Tok? After changing her
major seven times, Kaisha Huguley went from Government worker to
fresh faced artist in NYC. When her co-workers asked her where
she'd be working in New York, they expected her to say The United
Nations - but Kaisha had other plans... to be an actor. Upon moving
to NYC, Kaisha quickly understood that her collegiate experiences
could help her identify as an artistic multi-hyphenate. As she
discovered the word 'multi-hyphenate' described her best, she
wanted to inspire other artists to go on their own artistic
journey. So, she got on social media and started to get to work.
Now Kaisha has built an incredible network of social media
followers who engage with Kaisha and her creative endeavors on Tik
Tok. In this episode, we break down the social media scaries and
how to stop comparing ourselves to others on our screens -
especially when it's thrown directly into our faces. Learn the
importance of establishing a dedicated audience that will follow
you from social media and into the theatre. Kaisha S. Huguley is a
New York based actor, singer, entrepreneur, creative, &
educator originally born and raised in Washington, D.C. Prior to
the Covid-19 crisis, Kaisha was preparing to take the stage as Mama
Euralie in Once on This Island in Concert at 54 Below. She was also
preparing to join the ensemble (Pat/Trish U/S) in the cast of Kinky
Boots at Arts Center of Coastal Carolina. Most recently, Kaisha
performed in Miracle on 34th Street and The Full Monty (Argyle
Theatre). Prior to those productions, she made her Off-Broadway
Debut in Revelation: The Musical at The Players Theatre. People
know Kaisha as the woman who quit her full time job with the
federal government to become an actress. She documents her journey
to Broadway and all things creative online via her personal brand,
“Kaisha Creates”. When Kaisha is not on the stage, she’s creating
content for her online fanbase on her Podcast: A Kaisha Story,
YouTube Channel, and Blog. She also recently started a podcast with
her husband, Quinton called The Happily Huguley Podcast.
