Today we’d like to introduce you to Taharkha Allen.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
Hello My name is TAHARKHA Allen what started as just a little hobby or just playing around or just in general posting of business Cards making collages with flyers black owned businesses and
Events around Dallas and OAK Cliff through out the southern sector helping spreading the word about small businesses not necessarily thinking about turning what I do for fun that I would turn into something way bigger while being just a sophomore in high school It Became real my love for supporting people helping them grow and the exposure they need
Posting on social platforms has helped me grow so many ways than I could ever imagine something was just for fun became reality

Rebranded February 27 2025
I wouldn’t say that this is something that I’ve always wanted to do or Dreamed of it’s just a self taught technique that I did myself with the course of time I have perfected my skills with creating flyers doing promos creating videos and testing out images with music
I can’t lie. I have a long list of people who continue to push me help me and guide me. And keep me grounded These are people that have of their own business and serve the community
such as Brianna Hogg Boss Hogg
Productions
PHNX Rising Apparel
Alexandria Taylor herbal healing skin Co
Cordelia Strhan irreplaceable prints and designs LLC
Soinqua Adaway Sweet Baby treatz
They keep me encouraged and motivated at my lowest moments
While navigating through challenges I’ve managed to achieve goals small accomplishments and so forth but in life I’ve always learned nothing comes easy it’s a process.
You may be wondering what has sparked determination well when I was born Hydrocephalus meaning I had too much water on the brain which caused me to undergo 13 major brain operations it was said that I wouldn’t live over age past two if I did it would be a miracle well I’m here telling my story
Even after losing my Mother in February of 2013 at the young of age 16
And losing my father July of 2024 at the age 28
They say God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers because I’ve seen traumatic things I’ve dealt with things that should have made me throw in the towel but yet I’m still here still present turning pain into purpose
While having a strong support around me let’s talk about the great teacher I had when I finally got to SOUTH OAK Cliff High School who played an important role in my life and still till this day she’s a phone call away None other then Head cheerleading coach Mrs Getquiea Jones she was the one who would always tell me I’m hard on you because I believe in you and I know you can do the work that is given to you I’d never give you anything if I thought you couldn’t do it led alone could not understand it she always let me know that no matter how hard the work gets never stop never give up it always takes an extra push to keep going forward and for that I’m forever grateful for her
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It’s been a challenge. It’s been a lot of hurdles twist and turns. A lot of disappointments along the way, but they have made me better rather I like them or not they made me who I am today with life. You have changes. Sometimes you even have to be comfortable with being uncomfortable but at the end it’s all worth it. I wouldn’t change any of it. I wish that it could have been better but in life, you don’t get to choose your battles. You just go through them and pray for a better outcome.
I have to Always remember my story is not everyone’s story my journey is not everyone’s journey being able to go through challenges is not everyone’s strong suit it’s how you handle the situation that someone else may not be able to handle
