Something to Talk about…

Tina’s approachable spirit is genuine. Her influence in a room is undeniable. But it is her voice that is her greatest gift and she raises it with joy. A willing student with a ferocious appetite for learning and a wise teacher who passionately guides is a beautiful combination is a soul. Tina has both in equal measure. Her “Southern sass sought-after with class” makes her a sought-after speaker and musical entertainer.
