Creators Under 10K You Should Absolutely be Following.

In this day and age, the quality of content is often measured by the number of accompanying followers. The authority of that metric is often called into question with many a creator account…especially when considering our friend of old: the IG algorithm. Yes, many creators aspire to reach the coveted 10K because of its industry significance. Still, the following creators I am sharing with you BRING. IT. Day in and day out, they bring it! Whether they are providing valuable information on brand awareness, showing you how to get into your best shape, telling you how to go the mile in your career, or snatching your edges with the perfectly composed lewk, these ladies inspire, and I think you ought to know them:

Anya | @surgeryandthecity

Ok, shameless plug! Ha! I have absolutely loved sharing How to Wear Color and my journey through my medical career with all of you. Thank you always for reading the blog and following along as I strut around Atlanta in bold colors, mixed prints, and color coordinated stethoscopes!

Dashaé | @thecurlyclinician

My fellow Sista in Medicine! Dashaé specializes in Physical Therapy and is such a wealth of information for students and medical professionals all around. She has had a #nontrad journey and lives and breathes encouragement for others in the health care field. Her business casual and clinic outfitting tips are simply divine and her smile will light up your entire feed!

Adewunmi | @amazingadee

She. Slays. Bold colors and creative pairings abound on this page. I absolutely love Adewunmi’s eclectic style and how she really goes for it with every single look. With New York as her perfect backdrop, Adewunmi’s fashion finds will be sure to stop you mid-scroll as you think, “where did she get that and how can I find one?!”

Tina | @tinasmiff

Tina is absolutely photography and brand GOALS. She has worked with me for almost three years now to build Surgery And The City and I’m so grateful for her. Tina shares so many insightful tips on brand building through her page AND her newsletter. In addition, Tina is a ridiculously talented photographer and THE absolute Hype Woman behind the camera. She will make you feel comfortable even if you are inexperienced with shooting. If you are in Atlanta, RUN (don’t walk) to schedule your next shoot with her!

Kaleyce | @shinebrightkaleyce

And she lives up to every bit of her IG name! For me, her page was love at first sight. So. Much. Color. And y’all know I’m here for it! This self-dubbed Teen Color Queen (and we may as well dub her too!) is such a breath of fresh air on my feed. She has the cutest colorful looks, introduces us all to really amazing brands, and has a smile that is simply infectious. Kaleyce really does shine inside out and, with her bubbly personality and coordinated clothing + mural posts, encourages her audience to do the same!

Gabby | @shewearscolor

Oh yes she does! Gabby is absolutely Confident in Color and I obsess over every image she posts. Not only does Gabby take us on a virtual tour of Orlando’s best murals, but she also puts such a creative spin on each and every photo with her editing prowess. Gabby serves up Fashion and Innovation every single day. We Stan, Gabby!

Sumaiya | @sumaiyastyle

My fellow #ATLblogger bae! Sumaiya’s fashion picks are so effortless, chic, and whimsical. I adore every single look! I love seeing her take on ATL lifestyle as I, all the while, receive more inspiration on all things Stylish. Even more, Sumaiya often shares the most amazing recipes and cooking inspo on her stories. Sumaiya is such a gem and her feed shows that every day!

Asia | @divineskintervention

My Sis Slays! Day or night. Camping or giving us life from her flawless living room, she slays. Asia is a fellow Sista in Medicine and a future Dermatologist (claiming that, Sis)! Her fashion sense is so perfectly sleek and her IG stories are Beyond. Asia gives us peeks into her daily inspiration, dreamy apartment décor, and amazing finds from none other than my fave—Trader Joe’s! I am always tuned in to her food hauls to learn more about TJ offerings. Asia provides so much value to the scribing community with tips for future (and current) scribes and case questions from clinic…basically helping me study! Follow. Her.

Tanika | @alwayzfashionablylate

But her fashion is right on time! Tankia has such a beautiful spirit and a stunning wardrobe to match. You can find her prancing all around Dallas in perfectly composed lewks. Tankia and I share a deep love for H&M and I can always count on her to post the very BEST of their pieces! I certainly appreciate that. Again, right on time!

Gloria | @lifewithgloreeb

Gloria is Fitness. Goals. Mkay?! I just wanna wear backless dresses like she does. Gloria’s stunning silhouette shines through all she wears. Her fashion finds and fitness inspiration will absolutely motivate you through any day. Also, Gloria started teaching zoom workout classes a little while ago and I cannot even wait to go to my first class. Fitness + Fashion? Win. Win.

So there you have it! I am so inspired and motivated by each of these ladies. I am excited to continue following them to see what life and the creator industry has in store. If you, too, want to be encouraged, enlightened, and enthused, absolutely give each of these ladies a follow and thank me later! Happy Friday, y’all!
