Speaker 1 (00:00):
Latita Clark, Good morning morning, I think having me.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Oh, it's so great to have you in the studio.
Congratulations on everything. So first of all, just your success
and then secondly, you've been nominated for TikTok Creator of
the Year.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Yep, it's been a huge year so far.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Yeah, gosh, what's the criteria for that? Like to be
considered fantastic at that?
Speaker 1 (00:21):
I actually have no idea how they choose who gets nominated,
but I think there's like a various I mean, there's
a variety of reasons. I think it comes down to,
you know, how many views you're getting, and just popularity in.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
General, interactions and connection, I suppose.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Yeah, now your story is interesting for those that don't know.
Do you want to go back to the beginning really
quickly and just set up how you became so famous
on TikTok and now Instagram and YouTube everything and the
Clark family in general.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Yeah, so it's kind of like a family empire, I guess.
But my mom and I actually initially blew up because
at my eighteenth birthday, she got asked for her ID
and my mom had me young. She had me when
she was seventeen years old, so everybody was super fascinated
in how I guess we looked so similar in age
(01:08):
and she loves to say it all the time, but
I guess since then, we just started sharing our life
on TikTok because people were super interested in it, and yeah,
just kind of took off.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
It blew up.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
I mean, we started a podcast and now we have
businesses running like it's just been wild.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Yeah, you have a swimwear business and a skincare business.
And then now you folks have actually moved overseas.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Yes, so yeah, they moved overseas during like May.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
This year except for more opportunity.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah, yeah, so they moved to LA. They're just trying
it out. They honestly, we've been traveling to LA for
the past few years and they just loved it. So
they're going over and it's opened up a lot of
opportunities already, So you go. Personally, I like traveling to LA,
but I don't think I could live there. Yeah, and
also I have my own life here already, so I
(01:59):
wasn't ready to leave. But it's good because if I
ever want to go, I have free accommodation, So that's true.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Yeah, and hopefully after this interview. So will we.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Your birds are really nice, they would probably take us up.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
They would.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Yeah. Now you also, what I find curious about all
of this is that you gave up a law degree. Yeah,
to become a full time influencer. Yeah, talk to me
about that.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Well, it's actually wild because I forget that. People don't
know that, and my mom only posted about that recently
and everyone's been freaking out. But yeah, I was in
I think I had like a year and a half
left of my law degree and my TikTok started blowing up.
And I actually didn't tell my mom. It was like
one of the biggest arguments we ever had. But I
(02:43):
actually dropped out of UNI and started posting videos full time,
and then she found out that I dropped out, and
it was this big thing. But yeah, I just chose
to do TikTok. I mean, a lot of people don't
really understand it. But I think, you know, since leaving
my degree, like that's always going to be there. If
I wanted to go back and finish it, I could,
(03:03):
But you know, the chance to blow up super quick
that doesn't come every single day. I agree, And I
think you know, since leaving I've been able to travel
all over the world. I've had so many opportunities and
you know, things that I probably wouldn't have gone if
I stayed studying. Not convincing anyone to drop.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Out, that's just what I did.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Is it hard to know yourself who you really are?
And I say that because you have almost like two
lives in a way. You're sharing your life and people
get a little sneak peek and a perception of who
you are. But there must be some part of you
that is a little bit different or a little bit
(03:49):
private in other times as well, and then you can
get confused with your identity of who you are to
the world and who you are to yourself.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Well, I mean, it's kind of crazy because all of
my families on social media. It feels like a lot
of my life is out there. And I think that's
a good thing about our content is it's very authentic.
Like if I'm posting something, it's not me acting, it's
genuinely you know what I'm doing throughout the day. It's
very authentic to me, and I do have parts of
(04:18):
my life that are private. But I feel like after
a few years of doing it, I figured out the
right balance.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
That way, we're right, so you can keep something for yourself. Yeah, yeah,
that's cool.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Now you're here because we've got to get everyone voting
for you.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
You're doing a.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Great campaign anyway, Like, yeah, you're doing lots of fun stuff.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
I love following you.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
You are just joy Like for example, Gaily she went
to you're obviously getting very successful as a young woman,
and she's gone and bought Christmas presents for heaps of
children that don't get Christmas presents.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Yeah. That looked fun.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
That was honestly the most heartwarming experience. Actually dropped them
off a few days ago, and I was like, I'm
gonna do this every single night.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
That's positive. Yeah, let everyone know what you in case
I didn't see.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Well, yeah I went. I was at the shop charging
my car because I have an electric car, and I
was sitting there and I was like, this is actually
my first Christmas without my family and I'm not gonna,
you know, be able to open gifts with them on
Christmas morning. So I'm always thinking of what's my biggest purpose,
like to be online, like I want to, you know,
spread awareness for something.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
My mom.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
She spreads a lot of awareness for domestic violence and
that's something that she's always catered to. But I'm kind
of trying to find what my you know, higher purpose is.
So yeah, I just decided to buy some gifts for
the kids in the children's hospital, and I went and
donated them.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah, And they.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Took it well, like were they like, whoa, what is this?
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Well I didn't meet the kids, but I was talking
to the lady who was picking up the donations and
she was telling me about it. I actually had my
mom on the phone and by the end of it,
like we were almost in tears. It's it was really,
you know, sad, and I think it was just a
reminder to just stop and realize, you know, there's so
much going on in the world, so how can we
(06:04):
use I guess our fame for good giving is good ye.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
And the best thing about it is the feeling you
get yourself. Yeah, like you're also whilst you're giving outwardly,
you're giving to yourself.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Yeah. It honestly made me want to do more good
things in the world.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Well, we've got something coming up. You can come help
us bring presents to kids.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
You could, would, I would love to it.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Where it is, we're doing a Santa Bus. We're going
to feel a bus full of We do it every
year anyways.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
It's not a secret, right, no, no, but we just
hadn't sort of discussed yet on this version of it.
But yeah, we do a Santa bas and we get
a whole lot of listeners and some clients and friends
and whatever to a certain amount of people, and we
all dress up as Santa and then we go out
and and we give get collected presents and give toys
(06:59):
and presents to charities and organizations.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
So well, yeah, I'd love to do that. That was honestly,
when I was looking for somewhere to donate, it was
kind of hard to find somewhere.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
So now that I know, are you going to be
the first person on the bus? Should we just say.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Do you want to do it?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:15):
You have to wear a beard and not for the
whole day, just crossed out.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Well, everyone get on board. Vote for Letitia. You've got
all the links on all of.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Your socials, they're all in my bio and people can
vote every single day. We'd love to have another creator
from the Gold Coast because your mum won before as well.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
She did a beautiful speech. Are you got your speech ready.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I do have an idea of what I want to say.
It's probably not going to be as heartwarming as my mom's, but.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yeah, you're going to say, everyone, come on the Saner bus.
Good luck, Darling.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
I know you're doing well. We're proud of you.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Thanks,
