About Me

I recently entered the world of authorship with my first book of inspirational poetry. I currently teach honors English and am department chair in a local high school. Good news - I was recently named 2007-2008 Teacher of the Year!! Visit me at www.tanyawrites.com for my guestbook and events. This layout was handmade with TLC at My Fab Faith Go get one!

My Interests

I am a member of New Birth where Bishop Eddie L. Long is the Senior Pastor. It is here that I became a member of the first graduating class of Women on the Path - a women's discipleship program spearheaded by our First Lady. I was later involved in this ministry as a member of the leadership team for one of the groups. I am also interested in writing, listening to music, cooking, shopping, and reading.

I'd like to meet:

Tyler Perry, Shirley Franklin, Denzel Washington, and YOU!

Music:

I listen to mostly contemporary gospel, jazz, and R & B.

Movies:

I love Tyler Perry's movies! I also like to watch action, drama, and comedies.

Television:

Some of my favorite shows are: "Run's House," "Monk," "Psyche," ""House of Payne," "Deal or No Deal," "Parking Wars," and "Hell's Kitchen." I also like watching NBA basketball.

Books:

Some books that I have currently completed are: "Baby Brother's Blues," "More Than Grace," "Every Reasonable Doubt," and "In The Fire."


Heroes:

God, my mother
