Tina's purpose is to touch a broken life, change a state of mind, and bring a glimpse of hope. These three things are what drives Tina in her work. She’s written a book entitled

Confessions of a Housewife: Secrets She Could No Longer Keep (Tales by Tina Marie Book 1) where she brings hope to women and young girls by writing about being the child of an incarcerated parent, living in the projects, struggling with self-confidence, finding your voice, and even speaking out against sexual abuse.

Tina's favorite quote is her own, "Corporate trained me, entrepreneurship built me, philanthropy fulfills me." Tina also owns and operates a in-home care agency, and an income tax software company. Tina loves to network, share inspiring stories and travel.

Tina's belief system is simple: “It’s my belief that the heart doesn’t lie, and if you live by a heart filled with love, you will always be true to who you are, and you will without hesitation become a life toucher. I have lived more than one life and have more than one story.”

Tina and her younger brother Quentin spent their entire childhood without the present of their father due to incarceration (pictured on the left: Steve, Quentin, Tina).

It wasn't until early adulthood that Tina begin to establish a stable relationship with her father by writing letters and visiting him in prison.

Tina and her brother were fortunate to have their paternal grandmother stand in the gap to foster a relationship with their father, and his side of the family.

Tina personally understands the emotional, mental financial and social disruptions associated with having an incarcerated parent, which is why she is passionate in helping children with incarcerated parents.

Tina's purpose is to serve as an advocate and catalyst for change in raising awareness and addressing the multifaceted challenges faced by children with incarcerated parents.
