Tika Cook — Austin-based photographer, actor consultant, and founder of Tika Creations (@tikacreations) — is expressive, infectious, and bursting with laughter and life. She's excellent as a resource for Austin actors — in part because she's been there, done that, appeared on popular TV shows and in print ads. But, as engaging as she is on camera, Tika prefers that behind-the-lens life. On the latest episode of Brainstorm Black, Tika talks about her work, her grand plans for the future, and the unique challenges Black women entrepreneurs in the U.S. face.
