Not too many vloggers share how they made it. So, it's definitely exciting, inspiring and encouraging for those who want to pursue an entrepreneurial job. So happy you shared everything.
Thank you for watching Anne!
I don't remember how I found your channel, but I'm happy I did! I love that you are both professional and real. Blessings for you and your family in the future.
I love what you mentioned about taking the time to sit down and celebrate your wins. It’s so important! My friend put me on to something she does called “Champagne Fridays” where we take time at the end of the week to reflect and have a glass to celebrate ourselves and really allow our accomplishments to anchor in. I love watching your journey. Thank you so much for sharing 🥂
Woah what a great idea! I want to start doing that too. That sounds great, thanks for sharing!
Love this video, I've been in the industry "playing around" for soo long it's embarrassing to even say 🥴. I am in the process of rebranding and plan to take this career more serious. Thanks for the inspiration & ❤️your content.
Just get more strategic and start executing boo! Rooting for you.
Love that you're sharing this Sai, I didn't realise your brand started the way it did with your daughter. Love your energy, drive and just overall personality. RUclips definitely needs to recommend your channel more because more people need to know about you. It would be great to hear more about what it takes to run your brand too (a bit more behind the scenes).
Love this video! I would love to see another video on more details about the influencer business. Thank you for your content!
I would love to do one!
I loved this quick chat, your vibe, and your awareness/recognition that taking time to reflect and enjoy the benefits of hard work are vital. Continued success in all that you do.
It's so important to sit and reflect. Thank you for watching!
Great story time. You have done a great job with building your brand. You’re so creative and relatable and I really enjoy your content! Happy Sunday Sai!!❤️
Thank you, I really appreiate that. Happy Sunday!
I hope Sai’s RUclips blows up way more, she deserves it. Sai’s style, class, and beauty is top notch!
I knew you were different then the other the content creators you been in the game for a minute. I love your style and ur kids are so cute 💗
It's definitely been a long haul!
Loved this video ❤️😍❤️. I found it very inspiring and you confirmed some things for me. I too started reading Vogue when I was in middle school, saving my allowance to buy the next issue 😆. Fashion has always been my happy place too😆😁☺️
Thanks for sharing. Girl, I love you more and more. This was frank & funny... In my opinion you're like an angelic confirmation - not knowing anything like Scout In The City existed, a year ago I suggested to my daughter she create a lifestyle and fashion vlog with her son. She didn't do it, and then I stumbled upon you to find how great the concept is! Keep it up, you're smashing it!
I love that story. Thank you for watching.
Video was so good, detailed and informative. Get all the coinz !!! You definitely deserve them because your content is elevated on another level. We get LUXURY with no apologies which I absolutely love, Good travel content, restaurants , home healthy cooking, good stunt pieces, workouts as well as that bomb ass New Yorker Vibe , I am from harlem so I love a New York attitude. But the icing on the cake is we get to see glimpses of your beautiful children who definitely are the Vibez. Love your transparency, your personality and your channel. Thanks for working your ass off with small kids to provide interesting fun, fabulous content weekly for your tribe of subscribers.❤️😍💯🙏🏾🤌🏾👍🏾💰
Girl great video!!! And this makes so much sense. I was wondering how London was able to take wayyyyyyyy better pics than me with little to no effort lol.
LOL!!
I think sharing how much things cost you (like an entire fashion week trip) is super helpful context. From, there we can assume of course that you make more than that amount to make it worth it but it helps contextualize the fantasy image a bit.
That’s why I love you Sai 🥰 not only your fashion aesthetics but YOU as a person 💗💗💗 I just came across your Channel two months ago .. And I am now hooked .. Love your contents even in Tiktok and IG girl 💗😉 .. and for me you truly deserve to be recognized by having more subscribers.. Claiming you to hit 250k this year or even 500k subs .. Why not .. !!! You are one of my Faves here in YT 💗💗💗 More Power to you and Cheers for 500k subs 🥂🥂🥂
You're one of my faves, if not THEE fave. I've been following you for some years (can't believe its been this long lol) and girl, your drive, consistency and VIBE does not go unnoticed. Continue to kill it, and inspire others!
I can't believe I've been creating content for so long, lol! Thank you for your kind words.
I started following 7 years ago!!! It’s so encouraging to see the growth!!!
Thanks for sharing your journey! You seem to show the ins and outs of travel, wardrobe changes, and family life too! Versatility is definitely in your wheel house.
Been following you a long time girl! Yes value yourself. I love your content. It’s so fun and motivating to watch you…your children. Very high quality and professional. You are also relatable. I mean I don’t have luxury fashions. But relating to you as a woman of color and a mom hustling and doing the best for her family. Great chit chat video!
Thanks sis, appreciate you.
Sai, Hello!
I first discovered your fashion ensembles on Pinterest. I proceeded to watch your vids on RUclips, and Sis, You definitely are a “VIBE”! A hard-working beautiful, classy, woman who keeps things 💯 deserves my sub any day. I want to thank you for this vid in particular. Your content is much appreciated.🙏🏼 💕
Muchas gracias!Your energy makes me try to create more content and don’t give up.
Great intro!! Thanks for being so transparent and I totally do identify with some of your comments especially just starting out. I have been following you for about a year or close and you absolutely bring the content! You are amazing at what you do and I admire the dedication!! Congrats on all your success and keep in killing it!!!
Yes everyone starts somewhere and non all of them have the same style. You are right Sai... let life take you away. Surf 🏄♀️ life!! Goals
I love that you shared your story! It's very inspiring especially when you said you didn't love being in front of the camera! I would have never guessed that. I don't like being in front of the camera either and it's kinda held me back from even trying to create. Thanks for rhe inspiration, with fashion also! You make me want to update my wardrobe and find my style! 💜💜
wow Sai thank you so much for sharing your experience. I’ve been subscribed to you for awhile now and I really enjoy all of your content and seeing your family. You are gorgeous inside and out and such an inspiration for us brown girls. I love seeing what you’ve created and it gives me so much hope knowing how it is a process that doesn’t happen overnight. Keep going & keep shining! I can’t see how much further you’ll continue to go.
"Fashion is art that you can wear"...YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's also my way of getting all my introvert angst out as I'll let my clothes do the talking🙂
Very insightful video. I love your work ethic. I am so old school that I don't follow any influencers. I've always found them unbelievable, shallow, and ungenuine in peddling products. However, I LOVE YOUR CONTENT, STYLE, and FASHION. I will be a follower indefinitely! You're inspiring and I look at high fashion differently. I think I will just live vicariously through your posts and videos
Thank you for this! My question to you is how do you stop yourself from comparing yourself to other content creators?
Great question
You are REAL🦋🌺🤗😁
Thanks Vanessa!
Pat yourself on the back, it's easy to keep going and not acknowledge the confidence, the courage, and creativity to do this. You are inspiring and I appreciate your transparency and encouragement to be better and do better. Forever A FAN!
LOVE YOUR VIBE THAT IS WHY I SUBSCRIBED😍😂 Thank you! You, London and now Race Car Rio have given me so much joy over the years. Just watching everyone's growth and evolution is worth the price of admission! Your hustle tho!💪🏾🙏🏾
How have i now just remembered why i followed you, the baby fashion instagram!!! even though i was like 12 at the time 😂 couldn't imagine the content without you now
Hi, Sai! Firstly, you look AH-MAZING! Secondly, thanks for sharing your business growth journey. And yeah ... no-one needs to know exactly how much you're making. Looove how expressive you are (LOL). I'm wishing you continued growth! You deserve it!
You are such a doll, thank you for sharing. I always enjoy hearing you “ramble,” have a wonderful 2023!
I love this video. I'm been following you and this one made me love you more-the intimate talk and information. Also, I love your new presentation.
Thank you! I want to test new forms of videos/thumnails this year.
You’ve come a long way. I’ve been following you since London was about…see, I can’t remember. But I would say since she was four? Love your content.
Thanks for sharing “hope”. This was so very uplifting!!
Soooo insightful! Thanks for sharing! Love your videos and the way they allow for “escape” AND entertainment! Would be interested in hearing about some of the “challenges” influencers face in the industry!
The industry is very fascinating! I'll share more in another video.
Wonderful! Wishing continued growth and artistry in 2022! Stay blessed and thank you for your content.🙏
Love your transparency ♥️ Would love to know about the logistics of PFW and how you were able to attend so many shows, how you budgeted, etc.
I'm fairly new to your channel but I ❤ your sense of fashion. You make everything look good. Your hard work dedication and your natural eye for fashion catapulted you.!
Thank you Shonte and happy you're part of the Scout Fam.
Thank you for this. It was truly right on time. I stumbled across it at 3:30am and I don’t think it was by circumstance. Great gems for an inspiring content creator like myself. Your passion and authenticity is undeniable.
So proud of you Sai, you deserve it.. you worked so hard !!
Thank you so much Juliette!
Thanks for sharing! I like your makeup! 🙂
Thanks Dolly!
This is why I love you! You are always transparent and offer great tips without expecting nothing in return.
I love your honesty, you seem magical ❤️
I appreciate that!
Sai, I've been watching you for a long time and I am so happy to see your growth overtime. I love your honesty, transparency, how funny your are and most of all your sense of style. It's only up from here and I wish you many more blessings this year and beyond.
Thanks for your truth…You’re GREAT at what you do!!!
Thanks sis.
It’s great for people to share information with us newbies starting out. Thanks for this
I'm happy to share!
Hi Sai, i would love to see what a fashion week costs while getting in and out the car, beauty team, photography, food expenses! Loved this video!
Love that you are down to earth and inspiring.. Thanks for the transparency
I think growing up in Brooklyn keeps me grounded:) I love to share the journey.
Yes would love to know know more about influencing
I'll do a part 2 to this video❤️.
Great sharing! You work hard and deserve it all! Love all your videos!
Wow, just started watching your videos again. I’m sure, I subscribed over two years ago. I just started seeing your videos on my feed again. And I wasn’t subscribed I don’t know what’s going on with YT? I love all your videos. I’m even some watching some of your old videos🤓. It great getting to know you & your amazing fashion.
Sai!!! This made me emotional. You are BRILLIANT. I’ve loved watching your journey from the beginning and you INSPIRE and MOTIVATE. You seriously inspire me to parent with confidence as myself and look after myself too. The hustle is real but we don’t want your hair falling out. We love it when you show us rest too! Thank you so much. I really mean that. The last two years especially you’ve been a huge motivation to keep going and thinking positively. Thank you!
Great video Sai! I love your energy. So inspirational to hear your story. And your work ethic is beautiful to see. Keep shining your light. 🌟
Thanks so much Tracy.
You are a vibe! Great job....
Thank you so much! Appreciate you.
Thanks for the information. Many vloggers wouldn’t have said what you said in this video. Many blessings
Thank you so much for the advice. I am just starting in this industry. I have been following you for some time. I love your level of professionalism!!!!
Thank you for this vid Sia. Discovered your channel last year and have been following you since. Love your content always. Had no idea you started out by showcasing beautiful baby London with children clothes (sooooo adorable to see those early photos you included here). Big CONGRATULATIONS on all your successes: past, present & future! I truly miss living on the east coast, particular in NYC, and your Scout The City brings me joy! Yayyyy!
Loved hearing how you got started- I had no idea it started with London and kids clothing! I’m at the small stages still growing my IG and RUclips, so it’s really inspiring to hear your story. Thanks for sharing! ❤️
Your have been such an inspiration to me ! Ive been following you since I had my daughter, she’s now 8 years old . Of course London is such a inspiration as well …
Talk about what it was like with London . When you guys first started . Did she love it ?
Love this! I really think you should make more of these videos. Been asking! Lol. I love how you protected London’s innocence with the Ellen’s show questions. I’m very very proud of you seriously. You deserve all of the blessings bestowed upon you and your family. I’m next! My husband and I are having our first baby boy and 10 years after stalling I’m going to start my channel and I love writing so I really want to start a blog.
I absolutely love this, love your style, and you’re being so transparent about it. Love love that you stick to whatever is best for your family and not the money, you truly enjoy this, keep going, you doing AMAZING 👌🏻👏🏻
You’re such a boss!!!!! You’re an inspiration Sai!! I’m such a FAN ❤️
Thanks love! Appreiate you.
This is super inspirational! Thank you for sharing. I hope you share more for us aspiring content creators!
I love when you say everyone starts somewhere YES l love your videos
Love this video and how transparent and real you are! Looking forward to more vids
What an amazingly candid and inspiring video! Go, girl!
Thanks mama
Thank you for sharing your amazing story! As a Latina, your success and your realness reignites the drive to go for it and be me! Could you share some tips on how to start a content creator career in today’s atmosphere? What would you drove in to a newbie’s mind? Xx
Great vid Sai and now why "Scout" it's so clever and cute! Yeah Monroe has mentioned how you can have to change in odd places to get the shoots done😯☺️. I'm rooting for you sistas out here getting the job done & about the business with high standards. Such a blessing! Thanks for sharing 💖✨
Very inspiring story!!! Love your vibe and content!! Keep it up girl!!💯💯🔥🔥
What an Awsome Video, one of your best ever sitdowns momements. Very informative, Thanks for sharing.
I love this for you!! Yass! Thank you for sharing your story. Extremely motivational. Keep thriving✨
Thank you Kristin, Happy Sunday!
Yes, you are definitely a vibe. I love the look you're giving your viewers. You're an inspiration. 🤗
Yay! I needed to hear this today. Congrats for the great work ethic and your personality which I always get inspired by 💪❤
Thanks sis. Sometimes you get served information when you need it.
Learned so much about you & business I just love all your work
Thanks for sharing your story. Your story is very relatable as far as your upbringing. I had similar upbringing from having a little with my family and we are just getting started… I have a love for fashion for the longest now. Anywhere from sophomore year of high school I started flipping through magazines and making note of all the brands I was intrigued by and I realized after I started working by age 15 I wanted to style myself in a way I felt confident and express myself. Fast forward to where I am now I currently not sure about finishing college it’s been a couple years now and I’m not so sure about taking this route… I just love fashion and looking good and I’ve known this about myself and I feel like I finally want to give myself to this passion. It starts with getting educated. I appreciate you sharing your journey. I think I followed a few years ago on Snapchat and I texted you a screenshot I found of London and you actually responded. It was around then I really started following your journey. It’s been amazing to witness your success. It is very inspiring.
A few questions;
How does one get connected with a fashion agent and PR?
How does one assemble a team around digital creation? I currently have my sister who is a make up artist and I have friend who is a photographer..
How does one start?
Did just get brands sending you stuff or did you initially buy out of pocket while gaining a following/ platform before companies offer you their items to wear?
I Love that your motivation was to inspire first and the success followed. I’m always inspired by your content, so thank you 🙏🏾 🥰✨
I am most inspired. Thank you Sai.
Loved hearing how you got started, and I think it's great. I think I saw your private plane and Bentley post on IG and was yes and I started following you. I didn't know about the backstory with London. I really like how although your luxury influencer you have a very down-to-earth vibe . Great job
Yes, it's true you are definitely a VIBE! love you for sharing this. I really enjoy you sharing your journey I'm at the beginning of mine, and when I say notes were taken they were literally taken lol. I hope you start a series on this topic.
Your triumphs are well deserved, continue to be humble 🥰🙏🏽
Thank you, Sia for sharing your story. I'm new to content creation and I do blog. Unfortunately, my life isn't camera ready, but it is a beginning, and I think that I have some thing to say. Right now it's fun and when my living situation improves, I will start adding pictures and video. At this point I'm trying to get used to delivering content on a set schedule, that I set. You inspire and motivate me.
Thank you Sai!!!! Love you! Thank you for all that you share!
Also. I actually found you personally on RUclips! Back when you first started vlogging.
I’ve used your photo for marketing purposes from unsplash for a Mother’s Day campaign but never put it together until like a year later!
Thank you for motivating me! I also started just to be creative. But I know I gotta keep going. 😭 this year is my year to be consistent!
Love how open and vulnerable you are! You are such a vibe! xx
I love you Sai, thank you for sharing the backstory, I’ve been following you for a while and I’m proud of you and your growth!!
this is a Vibe. more of this please ! so happy for you -- brava !
Thanks Joyce.
This was amazing sai and inspiring!! thank you for your transparency!! So is seven figures all from one income stream (ie brand deals for Instagram)? I’m new to content creator game and am just starting to do branded content on YT so curious about that…anyway, you a boss and seven fig income takes work so congrats!!!
It's mainly from brand deals across all platforms and content creation for brands to use in their marketing materials.
Loved this type of content from you! Would love to know which systems you use.... and common expenses that you write off for taxes. Like, do you get to write off your house. Stuff like that.
Awesome sauce 👍🏾 Congratulations 🍾
omg i feel like you opened up a lot in this video to us, I feel like we got to know you more, pls do a part 2 or q & a about content creating
Sai, you’re the best….thank you
I just came across your channel and you are a Vibe…so cool and natural charming. I like mature Influencers and you are it! I look forward to following you.
You deserve it all. Super creative and hilarious hehe. 💞💞💞 great job!!!!!
You know I always gotta throw in a few jokes. happy Sunday!
Thank you! Loved this chat & the honesty. Do you mind sharing in more detail how you made the pivot & inserted yourself into the luxury brand sector? That is my ultimate goal but when I watch ppl stories that work w/ luxury brands it seems like they open the door for certain ppl. Just getting any insight into how to get through that door would be so helpful! Love your vlogs & your personality ❤️
More! More! This is fascinating 🤔
Sai, this is so inspiring ♥️♥️♥️
You’re definitely a vibeeeee. Congratulations on your success!!!!
