T'Kor on entering The Big Brother House and her strategy for the show
T'Kor Clottey said in a confessional interview that she wants to participate in Big Brother because she is used to putting herself into scenarios where she is constantly taking risks and going after the things that she thought weren’t possible. T'Kor grew up in a low-income household in the South Side of Chicago and was raised by two lesbian mothers. She is not averse to putting herself into new and different situations because she likes to push herself and see how far she can go.
In a snippet of the pre-season interview, T'Kor reveals her strategy to win the show by being a girl who uses all her wits without her fellow houseguests knowing. She said, "I want you all to know that I'm playing this big game but then the house, they are not going to know everything that I'm capable of, and I am going to keep it that way."
More details about T’Kor
Clottey's actual name is Dinah and "T’Kor" is an abbreviation of her middle name. She considers it an homage to her Ghanaian heritage, as she wanted to stay connected to her roots. In an Instagram post, the crocheter said:
"Though I know where half of me technically comes from I have no ties except for my blood to Ghana. And having lived in America for most of my life, I’ve endured the struggle of Black Americans who have no idea where their original roots come from. So I wanted to bring back my name so that I could remember, so that you could remember too."
T'Kor has appeared on the Kelly Clarkson show where she discussed the purpose behind her business. The Big Brother contestant said that with T’Kor Couture, she aims to uplift the often-overlooked communities through fashion.
Big Brother 26 airs on Sunday at 9 p.m. ET. On Wednesday and Thursday, the show airs at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.
