The Preface
What better way to start this journey than in the present moment?
My name is Tai Ceme, and to put it simply, I’m an artist in many forms- Creative Director, Writer, Craft Artist and Editorial Makeup Artist . I’m so glad you’ve found your way here, wandering through this digital storybook of my Journey to Becoming.
Somewhere along the way, life placed me on a path into the world of storytelling through film (art in motion) a direction I day dreamed about but never actualized until now.. But here I am, and through this unexpected turn, I’ve fallen in love with storytelling in a whole new way.
This journey even pulled me back on screen. I think of an interview I did years ago for my beauty brand, Tai-lite Beauty (you’ll meet her in another chapter). I remember saying, “I want to be known for how my art makes others feel, not just the way I look.” I didn’t realize it at the time, but I was planting seeds, seeds that have since grown into exactly that.
This short fashion film follows a woman in her late twenties (me) as she emerges from the darkness of depression, discovering that her struggles were the very process that shaped her healing. In just two minutes, music, visuals, and movement capture her raw truth, newfound perspective, and unstoppable passion for life.
