Okay, but who tf IS Tiffany Scurlark?

  • At once, your wildest DEI dreams and nightmares come true — a MENSA-eligible neurodivergent gay Black woman with a special interest in the universe and the human condition in within it. 

    All I think about is the truth of what makes people work, picking up patterns in seemingly unrelated aspects of life so I can rearrange them into an order that helps people experience a better reality built on top of the old comfortable one, first-hand. I think about all of our senses, lifestyles, cultures, beliefs, personalities, motivations — anything and everything to find those universally understood experiences that evoke true emotion, what’s true deep down. It’s an experience that has be shared to form a genuine connection, sometimes uncomfortable but always necessary to drive and protect real change. Empathy.

    And since that’s all I think about, I’m a dog with a bone with it. I respect reality, but I don’t shy away from learning how to make this one better, even if it means I have to go experience some answers myself. In fact, especially if I have to go experience it myself, because the limitations of anyone’s else’s beliefs don’t confine my perception. “Because I said so,” never really worked for me.

    Life placed me at the intersection of many different identities, which gave me the ability to understand all kinds of humans. I’ve lived a lot of lives so far too.

    At its simplest expression, that means yes if you trust me to see out my entire vision, I’m a dope writer and creative director who can turn your brief into something that moves your audience to real lasting action.

    At its highest, I’m a teacher trying to open everyone’s mind to a better life. Friends jokingly refer to me as Sensei when I get to philosophizing, but I’m just motivated to share what I see in creative, highly empathetic ways because I know that we can only get there if everyone comes.

    I don’t know everything — I’d never even claim to because I’m at my best learning from people who are better than me at what they do — but I know a lot, have a strong sense of justice about how to use it, and I’m willing to go find out what I don’t.

    In #AstrologyTok, that’s my 2nd house Nov Scorpio sun making it my literal job to dig deep mirroring and mending everyone’s shadow-self relationships, Aries moon in the 7th making me an assertive, action-oriented, and incapable of coddling bullshit in relationship to others, and the Libra rising that just loves love and wants the world to be free. Legit can’t help it — so the inside of my mind is a lot, and I take as much time as is necessary to translate the full thought.

    As an OG Drake-hater from the Degrassi days, making art that electrifies ‘em requires building a depth of knowledge and experience before it can be boiled down to a simple thought with substance. I take the long way like my favorite human experience creative director Beyoncé because people really don’t make albums anymore.

    So who is Tiffany Scurlark?

    I’m a writer. Creative director. 
    In time, a film director. Maybe a DJ one day.
    I’m a daughter, sibling, and descendent of 4 Black American grandparents raised in the South whose reality became my birthright to improve.
    I’m a casual gamer, amateur coder, foodie, mythology enthusiast and anime nerd.
    I’m a friend, mentor, lady lover, god of my own time and space. 
    Cult leader material without the hubris of thinking I can do everything alone.

    Anything I need to be to get everyone to the truth.

    And don’t let these little projects fool you — I can be highly effective when I want to be. 
    I convinced my own mother to jump off a cliff with me, and if you knew her, you’d know how hopeless that quest that should’ve been.

    The rest of this? Light work. 

    And a fair record of making a few businesses positively impact communities while hitting whatever financial incentives they needed to justify it because our capitalistic society is so self-motivated.

    Anyway, hit me up and ask me why I think everything is a nacho. We could make magic together.
