Seemah’s Education

Seemah completed her studies in Public Management at Varsity College and has established herself as a well-known figure on TikTok, where she has gained a significant following. She has become a social media sensation, showcasing her talents and entertaining her audience with her TikTok content.

Her TikTok journey

Seemah shared, “Towards the end of 2020, I hopped on the TikTok train and it was a blast. Unfortunately, in April, my account got banned after a year. But because I enjoyed it so much, I didn’t let that discourage me, and I created a new account. Starting from scratch turned out to be exactly what I needed because I gained numerous followers, and they continue to grow.” She expressed her disbelief at reaching 1.1 million views, saying, “I was content with 50,000 followers, but I realized it signified my potential. As the numbers grew, I knew I could strive for more, and even reaching 100,000 didn’t satisfy me. Then I hit the milestone of 500,000, and it felt surreal.

Finally, the big one million mark arrived, and I couldn’t be happier.” Seemah emphasized her current focus on expanding her brand, stating, “At the moment, I’m fully dedicated to TikTok and securing brand deals.
