On episode 33 of Everything is Better with Creators we sit down with TikTok creator Alejandra Tapia to discuss her humble beginnings and rise to one of the more popular cooking creators on TikTok. Tapia was born in Mexico. As the oldest of four sisters, she prepared meals for her younger siblings as early as age 9, but what was once considered a chore eventually became a passion. “My mom would always tell me not to waste the food on my ‘experiments’ because she's really traditional when it comes down to her recipes and I’d say, ‘We’re not doing that. We’re tweaking it. That’s the way we’re going to do it.’ My family always calls my recipes experiments, but they always work,” she says. As for those “experiments,” they’ve gotten Tapia nearly 250 million likes on her page, a spot on TikTok’s Latinx Trailblazers List for 2022, and the opportunity to cook a vegan meal for Lizzo. It’s safe to say her experiments have been working. Her 6.4 million followers would probably agree. Everything is Better with Creators is produced by Whalar. Whalar. We Power the Creator Economy.
