We’re looking forward to introducing you to ShaCora Smith. Check out our conversation below.
Hi ShaCora, 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 are you most proud of building — that nobody sees?
An empire. I started my own blog earlier this year on my birthday. Just because I felt pulled to own my own platform, to build a safe space for me to use my freedom of expression with no restrictions. What started as a blog is slowly turning into a Digital Magazine while simultaneously running a social media managent company. I feel like part of being an artist is having a vision of something that no one see’s. Right now Im building a life that is build for me and build for my happiness.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m ShaCora — the mind and heart behind Eras, a fashion and lifestyle blog/brand built around the beauty of becoming. I started my journey working behind the scenes as a stylist and assistant, and those experiences shaped the creative I am today. Eras is my love letter to transformation — it’s where fashion, storytelling, and identity all collide. Whether I’m designing pieces, styling shoots, or creating content, I want people to feel seen in every chapter they’re in. Right now, I’m expanding Eras into a magazine that proves luxury can be both deeply personal and endlessly evolving. And building a social media management company for high-profile clients and brands looking to establish a new era to their aesthetic.
Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. What relationship most shaped how you see yourself?
Definitely my mom. She’s shaped so much of who I am today. From watching her get dressed to go out with her friends to absorbing The music, movies, and media she filled our home with, every piece of who I am is rooted in her influence. I feel like I am the embodiment of the woman she dreamed I would become — a reflection of her strength, her style, and her spirit but also my self.
What fear has held you back the most in your life?
The fear that held me back the most was the fear of failure. Any kind of fear can limit the greatness waiting on the other side of it, but for me, it was believing that failure was even real. Once I shifted my mindset and stopped seeing failure as an option in any scenario, everything changed. I realized that if failure doesn’t exist, there’s nothing to fear — and that freed me to pursue what I want without hesitation. You can’t be afraid of something that isn’t real, so why waste time giving it power?
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. Is the public version of you the real you?
I would love to be cute and say yes, but honestly… no — and that’s exactly how I want it. I’m very intentional about what I share online. Nothing I post is random; everything is thought through and studied a hundred times before it ever goes live. We’re living in a time where people believe everything they see, it’s made people way too comfortable online and opened the door for unnecessary chaos. I take pride in protecting myself from that. Social media was invented to entertain, and that’s the only space I allow it to occupy in my world. I’m here to entertain, to create, to express — not to be judged, and not to let the internet define who I am.
Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: What do you understand deeply that most people don’t?
I have so many, but one truth I understand deeply is that there’s a reason women are the only beings capable of bringing life into this world. Everything in existence operates in cycles — mirroring the rhythm of a woman’s body. It’s the same reason we refer to the planet as “Mother Earth” and the natural world as “Mother Nature.” Creation, nourishment, evolution — It’s not just symbolism; it’s truth. The oldest human remains trace back to a woman in Africa — the literal mother of humanity. That’s not coincidence — it’s a reminder that the origin of life, the rhythm of nature, and the heartbeat of humanity are all deeply connected to womanhood.
