About

Kieara

Kieara is a Dallas-based lifestyle creator sharing the everyday moments, experiences, and interest that make up her life. Through honest stories, home, food, travel, seasonal traditions, favorite finds, and everything in between, she hopes to inspire others to embrace their own journey. 

Okay, Let me speak! ha

I am originally from Georgia, a true southern lady. I was born and raised in Athens, GA. Many of you might be familiar with the city because of the Georgia Bulldogs (UGA). Yes, I am a die-hard fan. Gooooo Dawgs sick’em.
 
I am an only child.
Growing up, I always wished I had siblings. Luckily, I had several cousins around my age so, I never really felt alone.
 
Growing up, I also faced challenges with self-identity. I’m biracial – Black & White – and growing up, there were times when I felt like I didn’t fully fit in. Sometime I was made to feel like I was “not Black enough” or “not white enough” to belong.
 
Those experiences shaped how I saw myself and taught me a lot about identity, belonging, and being comfortable with who I am. It’s something I’ve shared a little about and will continue to explore here. 
 
That story deserves its own space, so….stay tuned. 
I shared a little more about my experience in my “Walking into 35” series on Tiktok → watch here.
 

Why I Started TrulySimplyKieara

I’ve always wanted to share my story, not because I have everything figured out, but because I know what it’s like to go through seasons that change you.
 
There has been highs and lows, good moments and hard ones, things I’ve celebrated and things I’ve had to work through. The things that bring me joy, the things I’m learning, the experiences that shape me, and sometimes the things I don’t have the answers to yet. 
And honestly, that’s what I want this space to reflect.
 
Real Life.
 

Never be defined by your past. It was only meant to be a lesson, not a life sentence.

Now To The Present Day

I’ve called DFW home since 2018 after moving from Atlanta, Georgia, looking for a fresh start. 

Within five months of moving to Texas, I met my now-husband , Ryan. We eloped in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado in October 2021. We also built a home together in 2020, when the world was going a crazy.
 
Let’s just say…if your relationship survives building a house together, you can probably survive anything.
 

I’ve lived through seasons of figuring out my identity, building a home, navigating marriage, pursuing my education, going through fertility treatments, and learning what it means to keep moving forward when life doesn’t look the way I imagined.

Some of those seasons I’ve shared openly, while others I’ve kept more personal. But each one has become part of my story.

I love you, Ryan.

A Few Things I’ve Learned Along The Way

I graduated with my master’s degree in social work, which is something I never imagined when I started college. 

Before beginning my master’s program, I often told people “I wasn’t smart enough to pursue my master’s.”

Yet here I am, with an Associates, Bachelor’s and Master’s degree.

It’s funny what a few years, some persistence, and a little faith in yourself can change.

You can read more about that journey here.

So, What Will You Find Here?

Well, honestly…. a little bit of everything I love.

TrulySimplyKieara is a collection of life’s everyday moments – big and small. Some stories are joyful, some are difficult, and some are still being written. But each experience, lesson, place, person, and little thing I love has become part of my story. 

I want this space to grow as I do and reflect the things I’m actually experiencing and enjoying along the way.

I don’t know exactly what the next chapter will look like, and I’m okay with that.

I’m simply sharing the journey as it unfolds, hoping that somewhere alone the way, something I share makes you laugh, gives you an idea, encourage you through a difficult season, or simply makes you feel a little less alone, then I’m glad you’re here.

Here’s my journey. I hope it inspires yours.

And If heres’ something you’d like to see me write about, have a question, or just want to say hello, feel free to contact me!

Keep up with me!
