Sound Off Saturday Featuring: Taylor Moxey!

Posted by lockehardy on
Happy Saturday!  We are thrilled this week to feature Taylor, a young activist, entrepreneur and chef.  As older (thirties totally aren’t old, but we’re not teenagers like Taylor!) people, it’s inspiring to see young people with as much drive and passion as Taylor.  Be sure to check out all the cool stuff she’s up to, links are at the end of the interview as always! Have a great weekend everyone, and go get into some summertime shenanigans!
The Tiny Activist: Introduce yourself/your organization!

Taylor Moxey: My name is Taylor Moxey. I am an internationally known entrepreneur, author and philanthropist. At eight-years old, I turned a forty-dollar loan from my parents into a growing enterprise: Taylor Moxey, LLC.

Screen Shot 2019-08-09 at 9.54.38 PMMy legacy began with the start-up of my cupcake company: ‘Taylor the Chef’. The success of my cupcake company inspired me to write my best-selling book The Adventures of Taylor the Chef. As I continue to develop my personal brand, I wanted to inspire and motivate others. My desire to inspire led me to create a collection of daily mantra cards called ‘Moxivation’, which ultimately led me to launch the ‘Taylor Moxey Foundation’.

The ‘Taylor Moxey Foundation’ is my standing commitment to fulfill my mission to Educate, Empower and Encourage literacy and community service for people world wide. As I continue to evolve and live life limitlessly, I hope to inspire others to do the same.

TTA: What are you passionate about?

TM: I am passionate about my business, literacy, the arts and encouraging young people and adults to become excited about going out and achieving their dreams.

TTA: Tell us about a project you’re currently working on!Screen Shot 2019-08-09 at 9.52.05 PM

TM: My current project I’m working on is my 5th Taylor Moxey Library which is scheduled to open by December 2019. As you know, my Taylor Moxey Foundation converts recycled shipping containers into mobile libraries. For 2020 we are scheduled to open libraries in Haiti, Mexico, Columbia and El Salvador.

TTA: How can people support you on your journey?

TM: People can support my journey by doing three things. Donating monetarily to assist us in building more amazing libraries, donating books and toys and volunteering their time with the Taylor Moxey Foundation.

TTA: What book was your favorite in 2019 so far?

40662843_000_bTM: My favorite book for 2019 so far is Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur, a book of self care poems. I have quotes from this book plastered all over my bedroom wall. Lol.

TTA: What are you looking forward to in the next year?

TM: What I am looking forward to in 2020 is to continue to grow and evolve as a person, dancer and business woman. I am also looking forward to seeing my Taylor “The Chef” Cupcake Poppers being sold in stores locally and nationally next year.
