About Me

The Heart of TfoundHerVoice

Hello, I’m Tanya, the founder of TFoundHerVoice, a platform that stands as a beacon of survival, resilience, and the undeniable power of owning and speaking your truth. My journey, marked by both profound challenges and illuminating moments of learning, has been deeply influenced by my experiences as a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. These experiences shaped not only my view of the world but also ignited a fierce determination to create spaces where support, understanding, and empowerment are accessible to all.

Becoming a mother to two extraordinary daughters intensified my resolve, underscoring the necessity of fostering environments where the young feel seen, heard, and supported—free to grow, speak, and thrive without fear. It was during a time of personal upheaval, facing a family member’s threat to expose my story, that the essence of TFoundHerVoice was conceived. This platform emerged not just as a response to betrayal but as a declaration of strength and autonomy—a space where narratives of resilience are celebrated, where silence is broken, and empowerment is cultivated through connection and dialogue.

The Vision and Journey of TFoundHerVoice

TFoundHerVoice is more than a name; it’s a commitment to amplifying silenced voices and nurturing open discussions on often-shrouded topics. It represents a journey of healing through storytelling, a path I walk daily, discovering healing and understanding within myself and fostering it within our community. This journey of speaking out and embracing vulnerability has not only been a source of personal healing but has also laid the foundation for every event and gathering we host.

A Celebration of Diversity and Creativity

Beyond my role as an emcee, TFoundHerVoice serves as a vibrant stage for local artists, talents, and businesses. We’re dedicated to creating a community that not only celebrates diversity and creativity but also courageously tackles topics that resonate with my experiences and the broader conversations within the Black community. Our events are designed not just for entertainment but to inspire, challenge, and empower, encouraging each of us to find and use our voices for transformative change.

I convene to illuminate challenging topics, celebrate our shared heritage, and amplify voices that might otherwise remain unheard. From discussions on mental health and resilience to the celebration of the rich tapestry of Black culture, our gatherings are sanctuaries of learning, healing, and joy.

As TFoundHerVoice continues to grow, I delve into a wider variety of topics and experiences with each event. It’s an invitation for you to discover, celebrate, and engage with what truly matters. Whether you’re on a journey to find your own voice, eager to support local talent, or simply want to be part of a community that values honesty and resilience, there’s a place for you here with me.

I warmly invite you to embark on this journey with TFoundHerVoice. Here, it’s not just about exchanging stories—it’s about changing lives. I aim to cultivate spaces where authenticity thrives, narratives enlighten, and every voice is empowered to spark significant change.

Keep an eye out for upcoming events and join me in forging environments where every voice, every narrative, and every truth is embraced and celebrated.
