It's all about LOVE

About Me

How important our Father's love is. We are who we are today because of who our father was to us. Even if your angry because he wasn't there atleast give thanks to God for allowing him to be the vehicle to giving you life. Fathers... love your sons and daughters. Now you can be the father that you never had to your children. Don't let history repeat itself. Be there for them. It's your love that makes us who we are today.Happy Birthday Dad RIPYou didn't come here by accident but by divine appointment. I am excited you are here, welcome. I love you and I love everything about you. There is no judgement on this page but freedom to be yourself. I have come to a place in my life where I could give a rats ass (lol what does that really mean?) what people think of me and neither should you! My name is Tiana Renee Mandrigues. I am a writer, survivor, rhymer, rock climber, director, rebel, good news messenger, lover, magician who specializes in making sumthin out of nuthin, microphone, hustler, trendsetter, motivational speaker, National Geographic picture taker, dreamer, inventor, undiscovered super star, peace maker, sweetheart, believer, compulsive gambler, tap dancer, risk taker, renaissance queen, astronaut, janitor, gardner, inventor, prankster, servant, cheerleader without the pom poms, fatherless child, weirdo, instigator, drummer girl, student, poet, a believer, female pinero, humanitarian, teacher, activist for justice, mother Theresa, broke evangelist, entreprenuer, exhibitionist, private dancer, revolutionist, nice girl, living martyer, icon, legend, stand up comedian, robyn hood, a nerd, princess, and a broke philanthropist waiting to get paid for my talents but until then I contribute goodwill with my poetry, and many other things. What your reading is all me. I'm history in the making. As I grow through this journey called "life", I love to encourage others while they are growing through theirs, that they too have a purpose and there is more to life than just living and dying. We all have something to contribute and pass on to one another that is why we are blessed with gifts and talents. What is the point of having them if we never use them right? Never give up on your dreams even if you get their alone. You have to be confident and believe in yourself, if you don't nobody else will. Remember, fear is the only thing that holds us back from reaching our full potential. "It's time to put an end to the superficial superstars Cause rims rust, beauty fades and we all know that diamonds aren't forever Your record plays but what message is purveyed? Does it provoke change for the better? We need bangers for the clubs but we also need to hear again tracks laced with love Ladies, lets turns hearts back to love not lust instead of turning heads towards us Let's remind men to be fathers and husbands again and that our esteem becomes high from the help of them Lets go beyond the cover of Maxim, FHM and King magazine Calling all artists! Leave your mark on society Let love be our legacy Pass on the baton so we can all sing along in unity The world needs music that carries substance and meaning My hearts desire is to hear the same kind of music that we use to listen to when mom cleaned the house It's time for change. Please take the time to read my myspace page." PS. Watch the clip below from, "Enter the Dragon". Messages...messages....messages. enjoy! Peace TianaQ-DKuw" /

My Interests

MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN PEOPLES LIVES BY USING THEIR GOD GIVEN GIFTS AND TALENTS. People. Music. Comedy. Life. Love. Finding the beauty and humor in pain. My dream and heart's desire is to see people come together all in the name of LOVE. Love is not just a word but an act of service. You will know them by their fruit. I want to be the J. Dilla of the film industry and write, direct and produce beautiful movies for the people. I want to share my story and the stories of other REAL & the truly talented stars in my eyes. My hearts desire is to express love poetically through film. There is too much garbage coming out of Hollywood. Trust me, I see it all day long and my mission is to change it up and put out REAL, RELATEABLE, HONEST, BEAUTIFUL STORIES that inspires and brings change for the better. I'm just a b girl next door who wants to make a difference in this world. Personal assistant by day and dreamer for life. I'm not a professional just an amateur who doesn't quit. I'm just trying to live life excited like it's my first limo ride with my head sticking out the sun roof. I appreciate every medium of the arts; Painting, music, poetry, dance, film, whatever it takes to express one's heart. There are no rules to expression. That is the beauty of art because it is our own experience and it can never be duplicated. As human beings we are constantly changing, growing, evolving and as we do so does our art. When I'm not working I love listening to jazz, learning anything thats positive and provokes change in someone's life for the better, Every John C. Maxwell book about leadership, anything revolutionary, I LOVE HIP HOP, I am a straight clown when it comes to dancing, I just like to act a fool, I'm praying for 80's love to make a comeback, it was an era when music and film was honest, sweet, innocent and fun, I love every John Hughes movie, I like singing the blues sober and drunk, watching biographies of great leaders as Mother Theresa, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. etc, listening to bums when they talk to themselves, I love seeing people laugh at themselves, finding treasures at thrift stores, I love sneakers, I need to start dressing more like a girl though, the innocence and sense of humor of little children, laughing, dancing in the streets, getting krunk, sitting at a cafe drinking a double espresso by myself, almond joys, listening to Earth Wind and Fire with my family reminiscing about good times growing up, cream of wheat, The Father, Son and the Holy Spirit, fashion, wearing ugly wigs, making people laugh, praying, playing the piano and the drums, starting the electric slide or a soul train line anywhere. I love Gator in Jungle Fever. I'm Appolonia waiting for my Prince. But until then I'm learning, growing, healing, working hard and following my dreams, discovering my purpose and who God called me to be. All necessary things to know before my true love comes into my life because he will not complete me. Only God my Father can do that. True love begins first with me. Things I find attractive? A man who practices discipline. Sweet, humble guy who will still thug out if somebody disrespects him. A guy who can laugh at himself and not think he's to cool for anybody. A man of greatness and integrity. Striving after excellence in all that he does. A giver. Like David, a man after God's own heart. A man who carries a Magnum and not the 45, but for the 4+5=9, clownin, really what I'm saying is a man who wants to make love and not war, lol that was fresh, and were back..... Not perfect but a heart who wants to do right and learns from his wrongs. A leader of influence but still can rock a hoodie. I can tell a lot about a person by the shoes he wears. Chucks and dunks got to be in his closet. And a guy who can wear a white suit and still pop his blue collar. Sorry Ray J and Marques Houston types (no disrespect) I only have love for my B BOYS! My pet peeves are gold digging women, groupies, ANYTHING fake, triflin, disrespectful and rude, prideful people, men who disrespect their ladies and flirt with other girls right in front of them, atleast let them look the other way, LOL only playing:), dishonesty, people who have ingenuine motives, people who use people to get ahead or to get free shit, ANYTHING Hollywood! Rhinestoned army fatigued studded jacket wearing boojie stuck up dudes, clear heeled shoes wearin dick suckin for prada bags girls and punk ass Hollywood club bouncers that make you stand out in line just to make the club look hype and then don't let you in cause you don't look hollywood enough! Kiss my ass!, and men who wear high jeans and leather woven loafers with tassles with an ashy dry top foot,yuck!

I'd like to meet:

I would love to meet my father. We never knew each other but sadly reunited at his funeral. Daddy, I turned out to be a good woman, I've made a lot of mistakes in life but I turned out to be alright. Thank you for having part of bringing me into this world. One day we will be together again.
