About the Author

Tika the Iggy (Author)

Tika is an Italian Greyhound from Canada, as well as a fashionista, poet, cucumber enthusiast and human rights advocate, and still gets 20 hours of sleep per day. Since 2016, she's been chronicling her looks and adventures on the internet, amassing over two million followers on TikTok, and walked the runway in Vancouver, and sat front row during Fashion Week in Paris, Milan, and New York City. Her first book, Tika the Iggy and Her Fashion Tour, was published in 2021. She lives and plays (and naps) in Montreal with her dads, siblings, and puppy sister Kala.
