Texting Red Flags and Vision Boards: Clarke Peoples on Confidence and Curiosity

QUESTION EVERYTHING

Clarke Peoples didn’t set out to become a content creator—but life had other plans. The Columbia University graduate found herself gaining a massive TikTok following by vlogging her life as an Ivy League student navigating the hustle, heart, and chaos of New York City. Now, as a full-time creator, she’s sharing everything from daily routines to life-changing advice, inspiring young women to embrace confidence, curiosity, and self-empowerment, especially in their dating lives! In this candid conversation, Clarke fearlessly dives into:

• Manifesting her dreams: How a vision board at 12 years old shaped her future.
• Lessons from her mom: The unforgettable ways her mom instilled wisdom.
• Academics and self-love: Finding confidence in her love of learning.
• Challenging assumptions: Why people assume she’s either wealthy or a sugar baby—and how she handles it.
• Her accidental rise: The unexpected journey to becoming a creator.
• Boundaries on social media: What she refuses to share online.
• Speaking up, no matter the cost: Why she’s committed to addressing social justice issues, even if it means losing followers.
• Redefining confidence: The importance of finding self-worth outside the internet.
• Dating unfiltered: App red flags, her love-hate relationship with kissing, texting etiquette, the most romantic gesture she’s experienced, and more.
• Reclaiming her power: Why she believes men don’t hold more value than she does—and how that shapes her approach to love and heartbreak.
• Race and the internet: The systemic issues she’s calling out and what needs to change.
