In 2014, Tanna took a bold step forward by transforming her personal journey into a powerful and raw stage production. The play, which was performed for two years in East Texas, gave voice to her experiences and allowed audiences to engage with the realities of trauma, while also witnessing the power of forgiveness and grace. The play was not just an artistic endeavor, but a therapeutic act of vulnerability—Tanna’s way of showing others that healing requires breaking open, sharing our pain, and ultimately choosing to move forward. In a recent article published by a Tyler, Texas, newspaper titled “Breaking Through: A Writing, Healing, and Forgiveness Process Generates a Play Penned by a Rape Survivor”, Tanna’s journey of healing is beautifully illustrated. The article delves into her process, showing how writing and producing her play not only helped her heal but also opened doors for others to begin their own healing journeys. The production served as both a ministry and a testimony to the fact that God walks with us even in our darkest moments.

Now, Tanna continues her work as a speaker, coach, and soon-to-be author, spreading a message of hope and renewal. Her upcoming book, Unchained Hope, is a deeply personal account of her experiences with trauma, healing, and the unshakable presence of God in her life. Through her book, she invites readers into her story, offering practical steps and spiritual guidance for anyone walking through their own trauma.

Tanna’s heartbeat is clear: to lead others into healing, to show them the way to forgiveness, and to remind them that there is always hope—even when it feels out of reach. Her story is one of survival, but also of thriving, and she continues to shine a light for others to follow.

As she prepares to release Unchained Hope, Tanna remains dedicated to the cause of helping others find the strength to heal. Her message is one of resilience and faith, and through her writing, speaking, and coaching, she continues to create spaces for others to experience the same breakthrough she found.
