In My Words
If you are here, you are curious. Here’s the thing…. my bio won’t tell you that I love to laugh, I love gathering and connecting people over a meal, I have a great sense of humor, and I’ve experienced deep love and deep grief. My bio won’t tell you that I love to sing, love psychological thrillers, love boxing or how God moves in my life. But it’s all true.
It’s my hope that your curiosity drives you to connect with me in a meaningful way because I believe we should be friends - and if for whatever reason that doesn’t come to pass, let us aim to share at least one joke together.
See you soon.
Much love,
Tiffany
I love to get on the stage, get on the mic and teach… Book me!
