Hey folks, we’re back with another interview for our Ask the Creator <\/em>series! This week we have Samira Kazan aka Alphafoodie in the hot seat. Samira leads a double life as an influencer but also a part-time Mathematics\/Physics professor. Read her story to learn some amazing lessons about the industry but most importantly, be inspired!<\/p>\n

Hey Samira! Tell us, h<\/b>ow did you become a Creator? <\/b><\/div>\n
It was all by coincidence. About three years ago, I used to skip breakfast and by 11am, I would be asking my colleagues if they’re ready for lunch! I started experimenting with healthy food I’d never heard about like chia seeds, kale or quinoa and made random dishes with help from Youtube. I was initially only sharing with my sister and then moved on to posting on Facebook. A friend told me I should use Instagram but as I didn’t know what it was back then, I was wary about taking that step. But after two months, I started instagramming my creations in an attempt to figure out how it works. From this, I began gaining followers and attention, and it became quite addictive! As a scientist, I was interested in looking at numbers and experimenting with them. You start noticing what works and what doesn’t and have fun with it. <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
How has it changed your life? <\/b><\/div>\n
Massively! I gained so many opportunities through Instagram from meeting and spending a fews days with the Royal family, to making my very own collection with Wedgwood \/ Royal Albert – a product with my name on it! I’ve collaborated with brands such as Google, Pinterest, Facebook, Duty Free, Fox Productions etc. published in Vogue \/ Times \/ Guardian and had the opportunity to go to places I never would have without this platform. And I can’t forget to mention that I’ve started my own business! <\/div>\n
