Today we’d like to introduce you to Danielle Alanna.
Thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, how did you get started?
It all started with a conversation in my apartment with my family. We were brainstorming catchy names for a new Instagram account I was creating. My deepest desire then and now was to connect with teachers from across the globe. I started an Instagram account with zero friends, and it’s now grown to 45K. I have a YouTube channel and podcast where I help educators and parents become the best versions of themselves. My Instagram reaches 1 Million users per month, and I’m surprised by its impact.
We all face challenges, but looking back, would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It has not always been a smooth ride. Since I have a large social media following, I’ve had to navigate self-discipline, people pleasing, and people being intimidated by me.
I appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
Hotmessteaching is my baby. It’s a full-time job where I share all of my education. I’ve recently started sharing more of my journey as a mother. I have wanted to reach parents and help them navigate public education since I was a teacher for over a decade.
