About Me

Hi! I’m Tina Jean. I’m a mama. I’m 32 years old and I’m Congolese-American. I’m a commercial model, a lifestyle blogger, a widow, a survivor, a mental health volunteer and advocate, a mentor and a totally free spirit. Don’t try to put me in a box because I won’t fit 😉 I believe compassion is the cure but doesn’t have to come at the expense of your self-worth. I also believe that giving-back and sharing our most defining experiences with one another is what makes the world go ‘round.
