Hello, beautiful people!
I am so pleased to be able to introduce our first featured guest to the Lovely.Multifaceted.Chic. community. I am all about supporting women and women’s empowerment. I met our guest on a Facebook after we both attended the Build Brand Bank It Summit which was very inspirational and informative. Without further ado, let us get to know this lovely lady.
Lovely.Multifaceted.Chic. Interview:
Please Introduce yourself:
My name is Tanisha Renee Gladney aka Tee Renee. I am a mom (three boys 15, 11 & 7 and one girl, who died when she was 4 ½ months old in 2003), an author, editor, and chef and lifestyle coach. I was born and raised in Oakland, CA. I now reside in District Heights, MD. I am a lover of all things creative and spend a lot of time doing various arts and crafts; crocheting, basket making, coloring, etc. I love helping others and sharing my knowledge and experiences in life is my tool of choice. I have an enormous sense of humor. I challenge everyone in my life to laugh every day for at least 30 seconds. I believe strongly in the power of words. My life’s motto is: “Your thoughts become your words, your words become your actions, your actions become your life.”
What services and products do you offer?
Editing, Literary consulting, and lifestyle coaching. Also, catering, meal prep, and bite-sized baked goods.
What led you to create your service and product?
I have always enjoyed reading and writing. As a teenager, I started out writing poetry, and that evolved over the years, but I never thought about writing a book until my sister penned her first novel in 2010. She then asked me to co-author a book with her, and so began my journey. However, it would be four years later until I picked up my pen again and decided to share that story with the world. I published my first series January 9, 2015. To date, I have three published books and a short story in an anthology. Editing came about as a means to help other authors who needed help cleaning up their work. I have read too many poorly edited books that had the potential to be great stories. It’s my way of giving back and helping keep the reputation of this industry one to be reckoned with.
Since I became an author, so many people have come to me asking my advice to help them get their book published. So I decided to give more attention to those in need of this service and do my best to guide them to the best possible solution for them and their works.
I was born into a family of helpers and givers. It has been my way of life since I can remember. I get great joy seeing other’s lives being changed and their dreams coming true. So if I can give five minutes of my time to help that come to fruition, then my life is complete.
It’s funny that I as a child hated to cook because it was a chore. I played like I didn’t know how so I didn’t have to (smile). I knew I could do it, though. I decided one day I was going to show my family what I had to work with, and boy was that a mistake. I made Christmas dinner one year and out the door went the notion that Tanisha couldn’t cook. Over the years, I found an appreciation for food and enjoyed seeing the smiles on people’s faces after they ate something I prepared. So after many years playing around with different recipes and the encouragement of my baby sister Crystal and cousin Twink, I enrolled in Culinary Arts School, and the rest is history! My specialty is baked goods, but I do love putting together a tasty meal for anyone who wants to eat!
Would you share more about your product/services? What is your purpose/mission?
My mission is simply to help other’s be great, to rid themselves of negative thinking and to shine like the stars they were meant to be. With everything I do, be it writing, editing, consulting or coaching, it is my mission to bring out the best in that person. To help them see that they have all the tools they need inside of them and how outsourcing is the icing on the cake.
How can the Lovely.Multifaceted.Chic. woman benefit from your product/service?
She can benefit from my products/services by knowing that she will be treated with the utmost respect, that her needs will be handled with care. She will receive honest, thorough research on any information provided and a friend/sister for life. I am not one of those people that collect your money and run. No, you, my dear are stuck with me forever! I believe in family; so once you’re in, you’re in.
