Chloe, Content Creator
What did you want to be when you grew up?
As a child, I had an extensive list of dreams and aspirations; I envisaged myself becoming a model, singer, actress, artist, and so much more! That zest for exploring various paths has stayed with me. Now, when faced with the question of what I aspire to become, the answer is clear: I want to be unapologetically myself. I am in the continuous process of understanding what that entails - embodying kindness, creativity, humor, wholesomeness, and a multitude of other virtues. From what I can tell, I seem to be doing quite well at it!
What do you want most in the future?
In the future… I’ve let go of wanting things because not everything I want for me is what I need for me. In the future I hope to want what I need.
What’s been your biggest achievement to date?
My greatest achievement in life thus far is simply persevering and continuing to thrive. Academically, my pinnacle achievement was earning a first-class honor in my fine art bachelor's degree program. On a personal front, I take immense pride in evolving into the most authentic version of myself and wholeheartedly embracing who I am.
Growing up, I longed for a role model to look up to, someone who mirrored my aspirations and experiences. Now, I have become that beacon of inspiration for others — for my followers and for those touched by the viral video showcasing a heartfelt exchange of compliments between myself and a 2-year-old. Through the journey of self-discovery, I have gleaned invaluable insights from my older selves, insights that I am eager to share with the world.
What’s your advice to other women/girls?
My advice to other young women is to embrace their authentic selves. If you are still on the journey to discovering who you are, relish in the learning process. Embrace the vulnerability, openness, and excitement that comes with experiencing new things. Understand that while not everything may go as planned, things have a way of falling into place, either by working out or working in.
What does it mean being a black woman in your industry?
Being a black girl in multiple creative industries means a lot to me. My talent in YouTube, Fine art, spoken word poetry goes beyond my blackness. I do acknowledge it but how I impact the YouTube world, the poetry world, the social media influencing world, the visual art world being black just adds a plus. It’s like wow Chloe Carter does this, this & that plus she’s black ouuu WINNINGGG!
What school did you go to?
I went to St Jude & St Paul’s Primary School & Haggerston Secondary School, Monoux College & Middlesex University.
What is the most important thing in the world to you?
The most important thing in the world to me… oooouu that’s a hard question…. The most important thing in the world to me is the things I have in the world: that’s family, that’s relationships, that’s my incredible boyfriend, that’s my followers/my subscribers, that’s my talent, that’s my memories, that’s God, that’s anything I’ve forgotten to mention & lastly that’s myself. I’d like to wish I put her first all the time but I do put her first most of the time.
