Christina Najjar aka TINX
There
are few people in the world so well-known that they’ve earned a single-syllable
moniker. Tinx, the 32-year-old Stanford grad turned Tik Tok phenomenon, is one
of them.
Tinx—né Christina Najjar—has swept social media in recent
years, having only started posting
on Tik Tok mid-pandemic. Her for-better-or-worse authenticity resonated
immediately. Najjar has amassed 1.5M followers on the platform by speaking her
truth into a tiny hand-held microphone with raw vulnerability, candor and humor.
To
call her a “content creator” feels like a misnomer. She’s a trailblazer, a true
#MAKEITHAPPEN woman. Here, we chat with the one and only Tinx.
Q&A
Describe your yourself in three words...
Curious, confident and fun.
Curious, confident and fun.
My hustle is...
Nonstop all the time. My hustle is 5 a.m. emails and 1 a.m. parties. My hustle is radio shows and podcasts, making content, rich mom starter packs, a hot sauce, and cats.

My top 3 life hacks are…
Number one, it's not about does he like me? It's about, do I like him? Number two, comparison is the thief of joy and number three, always pack a plane salad.

What does make it happen mean to you?
It means efficiency. It means knowing your worth. It means not being afraid to go after your dreams and not being afraid to fail. You need to fail before you succeed. I think it means being true to yourself, being authentic and living in accordance with your set of values. I also think it’s about how you treat people who can do nothing for you.
I look good when…
I’m happy.
I’m happy.
I feel good when…
I’m comfortable.
I do good because…
I truly believe that was what I was put on earth to do. And if some girl can learn from my mistakes, be it big or small, that’s my day made.

When I wear Veronica Beard, I feel...
So sexy and so comfortable.
