About

Hello! my name is Tianna Boswell-Porter. I am a journalist, entrepreneur, marketing maven and brand consultant. I’m a New York native who currently resides in Southwest Florida with my husband and our two dogs. I moved to the FL area in 2015 three years after graduating from the Fashion Institute of Technology and I’ve spent most of my time exploring the community through artistically immersive and creative efforts. My skills led me to create a blog, called The Localista. A lifestyle creative forum of personal journeys, self-discovery, and being open to learning a thing or two from others. The idea continued to evolve into a mission through the growing need of an e-meet entrepreneurial space, to evolve through connection, meaningful feedback and collaboration. 

Though these interviews and unique stories have allowed an opportunity to be discussed amongst households and have allowed even myself to explore existential questions related to industrial/organizational psychology, innovative thinking, prolific strategies and everything in between to achieve your fullest potential.

On this platform you will find archives, free writing materials, as well as brand services and opportunities to partner. Our multidimensional lens for rare and profound material makes for great take-aways or finding those gems that unveil more of your purpose. So stay a while and enjoy!
