From Homelessness to Empowerment: Building Community & Confidence

Davida Roach Episode 158

In this episode, we speak with Davida Roach, a successful influencer and creator (Davida's Diary), about her journey to build a brand, community, and advocacy centered around confidence. 

Davida shares her inspiring story of resilience, determination, and using her platform for a greater purpose. Starting with personal hardship and homelessness, Davida found her way to create content as a means of self-expression and confidence-building. We discuss her focus on body positivity, confidence, and the normalization of shopping online for curvier women. Davida also sheds light on her efforts to raise awareness about domestic violence through her non-profit, Dear Deanndra, and her very personal connection to this cause.

Other topics we discuss: 

  • The business aspect of being an influencer
  • Strategies for monetization
  • Dealing with negative and toxic comments on content 
  • Building a supportive and engaged community

Tune in to this episode to gain insights into the world of influencer marketing, the power of purpose-driven content creation, and Davida's journey to turn adversity into opportunity and empowerment.
