Tiana was born right here in LA and has been acting in commercials since she was four. She spent most of her childhood in Colorado where she discovered the Magic of theatre. An experience that she says can only be described as her own Adventure through Wonderland.
She has been doing professional theatre for most of her life. "The world of theatre is a place like no other, where for a couple of hours I get to enter the world of someone else and take a walk in their shoes, there is a certain magic about it. I love the challenge of it because once you enter, there are no do overs, no one is yelling cut."
Tiana has had the honor of playing such roles as Ma Rainey, Benetha in A Raisin in the Sun, Lion in The Wizard of Oz, Sister Mary Hubert in Nunsense, Calpernia in To Kill a Mockingbird, and Mrs. Muller in Doubt. She was also in the Ovation Award winning show Ragtime.
Tiana would like to thank her family, especially Isabella, for their continued support and the sacrifices they have made.
God Bless.
