I just wanted to give you all an update on my life! If you’ve never seen this page or don’t know who I am, my names tiana but you can call me tia. I’m a nineteen year old from New Jersey, a young woman with dreams to change the world. My freshmen year of high school I was brutally attacked by my bully, the court ruling it out as an attempted murder. I was only fifteen years old and was also dealing with an abusive relationship, my innocence and sights of happiness all felt like they were taken away. My next four years of high school was not what you see in the movies, it was torture. Trying to heal from such a traumatic experience, while dealing with the normal pettiness of teenaged drama was nowhere near a good combination. It also wasn’t helpful to be surrounded by teachers who viewed you as a lost cause. My senior year was honestly one of the best, cut short due to covid-19 I felt like there was so much I wanted to accomplish in my high school years that was taken away. As I like to say, everything happens for a reason. During this time, quarantine and graduation I was finally able to focus on just me. Taking care of the person I should’ve focused on a long time ago! During these months I’ve been able to accomplish and do things I never knew were possible for me! From becoming an official model for the rock your hair company, competing in a national pageant I haven’t been to since I was ten years old, even going to a BLM protest and using my voice! With all the amazing opportunities I’ve been blessed with, and going through extreme historical events it made me realize why I made this organization in the first place. Just like everyone in life I have a story, but not everyone has the voice to tell their stories. The last time I posted back in 2019 I said I would not be posting for awhile because it’s hard to be an advocate when you feel like one of the very voices that have been lost. I am no longer that girl, I am no longer afraid.
With that I said, I plan on posting a lot more! I have two very special articles coming out soon. A short film that will hopefully come out in a couple of months, and hopefully an updated version of my first ever post on here!
If you’ve made it this far thank you, you are so loved, and I am proud of you for not only getting through 2020 but any challenge you have faced in life!
If you haven’t already check out my short film about depression with special thanks to the amazing actors, editors, and videographers (all names in credits)
And with all that said,
Don’t forget to
Cause a racket!!
