Tanisha isn't afraid to speak candidly on her life experiences, now able to reflect with subtle humor on the events that have molded her into the woman she is today. Having experienced being a single mother for several years, she learned about sacrifice and self-motivation.
Growing up she was taught “where there’s a will, there’s a way”, and that was one of her drivers to push past hurdles and succeed. She shares her story in hopes to inspire others to not allow their circumstances to inhibit their life’s purpose.
