Can you tell us a little bit about yourself and your background?
Tyanna Horton: I'm a 25-year-old ATLien, a mother to two wonderful boys, an entrepreneur, and currently a student pursuing esthetics. I was raised in a health-conscious household where specific foods were off-limits, and my family regularly practiced detoxing. Back then, I didn't fully understand why my mom insisted on these habits, but looking back, I'm incredibly grateful for the foundation she provided.

If you have a business, could you describe it and how you started it?
Tyanna Horton: I have a spiritual and holistic wellness brand that I established because of my deep-rooted connection to spirituality, nurtured since my childhood. It felt natural for me to continue these practices into adulthood and share these rituals with others. In 2021, my youngest son struggled with severe baby eczema, and I was dissatisfied with the steroid cream prescribed by his pediatrician. My son experience led me to delve into the study of herbs, and as a result, I created my first holistic and herbal soap bar to address his condition. Witnessing the remarkable improvement in his eczema, I decided to expand my offerings and introduced my Holistic Skincare Collection under my brand.

Could you share an impactful story or experience that has shaped your journey and outlook on life?
Tyanna Horton: Becoming a mom has undeniably been the most influential experience that has profoundly shaped my journey and perspective on life. Having little ones who rely on you and look up to you is an experience that brings a unique sense of responsibility and purpose. This responsibility became even more significant due to my concerns about the healthcare system in the U.S., which I strongly disagree with and do not recommend. As a result, I have become incredibly vigilant about my own health and the health of my children. I firmly advocate the principle of "eating to live, not living to eat," emphasizing the importance of a healthy lifestyle and mindful nutrition for my family's well-being. This experience has not only made me more health-conscious but has also instilled in me a deep sense of advocacy for the well-being of my loved ones, shaping my outlook on life in a profound way.
