She revealed that she wasn’t social media savvy when she started but eventually found herself entertaining millions of people on social media.

“I didn’t start out to become a comedian, so I wasn’t really looking up to anybody like that, Instagram was not my thing, Facebook was not my thing so I wasn’t in this space or I didn’t know anything about it, I only wanted to learn how to edit.

“So this comedy just came along the line for me so I didn’t really look up to anybody that much,”said Taaooma.

On her advice for other creatives, she said: “number one is you really have to do your stuff yourself. Secondly, invest in yourself, if you do, it’s going to be very easy- you don’t have to do a lot of stuff editing.
