Tiara Smith shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Hi Tiara, thank you so much for joining us today. We’re thrilled to learn more about your journey, values and what you are currently working on. Let’s start with an ice breaker: What is a normal day like for you right now?
A normal day for me starts with some quiet self-care. I do my morning face routine, listen to praise and worship music to center myself, and then get breakfast going. I pack my son’s lunch and make sure he’s all set for school. Once I drop him off, I head into work where I teach Pre-K. My day there is full of learning activities, play, and helping little ones build their social and emotional skills.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hi! I’m Tiara Wilson, founder of Colorado Babe Tribe, a women’s community that’s all about connection, empowerment, and good vibes. Our mission is to create safe, inclusive spaces where women especially those from LGBTQIA+ and minority backgrounds—can truly show up as themselves, build friendships, and have fun.
Right now, we’re in the middle of our summer event series, which blends intimate, free gatherings with larger community-wide events. We just wrapped up hosting Denver’s biggest Love Island watch parties, and now we’re getting ready for more fun with Yoga in the Park, Movie Nights, and our crowd favorite, our Annual Adult Field Day. Whether it’s bonding over brunch or sweating it out in a dance class, every event is designed to bring women together in meaningful and joy-filled ways.
This isn’t just a group, it’s a movement. And we’re just getting started.
Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. What breaks the bonds between people—and what restores them?
What breaks bonds between people is often a mix of unmet expectations, lack of communication, unhealed trauma, and feeling unseen or unheard. Trust can quietly erode when people stop showing up for each other, emotionally, physically, or honestly. Sometimes life just pulls people in different directions, but more often it’s the small, unspoken hurts that build walls over time.
What restores bonds is intentionality, choosing to have the hard conversations, to listen without judgment, and to extend grace. Restoration comes from vulnerability, consistency, and mutual effort. It requires both people to take accountability, be honest about their needs, and decide to rebuild, not back to what was, but toward something stronger. Connection is fragile, but it’s also resilient when both sides are willing to nurture it.
If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
You don’t have to carry everything alone. You are not too much, too emotional, or too different, you are powerful, sensitive, and worthy of love just as you are. Keep being soft in a hard world, and trust that everything you’re going through is shaping the strong, beautiful woman you’re becoming.
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
My closest friends would say that what matters most to me is creating safe spaces, for my son, for the women in my community, and for anyone who’s ever felt overlooked. They’d tell you I value loyalty, honesty, and people who show up with real intentions. I care deeply about connection, growth, and making sure the people I love feel seen, supported, and celebrated even in their messiest moments.
Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
I hope people say that I made them feel seen. That I created spaces where they could breathe, be themselves, and not feel alone. I want to be remembered as someone who poured love into everything she did from raising her son with intention, to showing up for her community, to fighting for women to feel safe, supported, and celebrated. I hope the story they tell is about a woman who turned her own pain into purpose, who kept showing up even when life got heavy, and who made the world a little softer just by being in it.
