Welcome to Tea with Tai!
​
I created this blog as my platform to share things that make me who I am & invite readers to join me as my life motto states, live, learn, & grow through my journey. Thus why it is entitled, "Tea with Tai." to give you the tea on all things about me.
​
T- is for Travel. In this section, readers have access to sail away with me on the deep blue sea or fly over cotton candy skies & flick through photo albums from my travels around the world. I have been blessed to travel to more than what is seen in the albums but that is an ongoing process, as I've been traveling longer than I've had this blog.
​
A- is for All the Tea. In this section, I get down to the nitty-gritty by sharing words of wisdom, my personal experiences & things that are shaping myself & life.
​
I- is for Into the Drobe. Drobe being short for wardrobe, in this section I share another one of my passions outside of traveling & writing, fashion. I like to consider myself a true fashionista & I love to dress up, have photoshoots, & express myself through various looks. Readers can flick through photo albums of my unique fits.
Tea with Tai
Best described as having "the soul of a mermaid, the fire of a lioness, the heart of a hippie, & the mouth of a sailor." This free spirit blessed the earth on February 13th, born in Brooklyn, New York, & raised deep in the heart of Texas.
​
I have always had a passion for dancing from a young age & danced most of my life from studio, to drill team, to dance crews. Writing is another passion of mine that has allowed me to easily express myself through my way with words. This led me to attend Texas A&M University & graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in Agricultural Communications & Journalism as well as create a few blogs over time, this one being my latest & greatest baby. Outside of that, I've been blessed to travel from a young age which is something I still enjoy & do when I am able. Other hobbies of mine include roller skating, cooking/baking, reading, watching movies, walks/hiking, indulging in any relaxing activity such as massages, hot pools or saunas, & spontaneous adventure.
​
I was a mental health counselor in the States as I graduated from Ashford University with my Master of Arts degree in counseling in 2019, practiced for a bit, then decided to take a break & work & travel for a bit. My travels led me to live in New Zealand for almost 2 years. I have made my return to the U.S. as of July 2024 & I’m excited to take an international living break & shake things up a bit as my journey continues. Feels good to be back in the States & I look forward to getting back to doing work that is most meaningful to me.

I hope you enjoy what you see & read & that my blog leaves you with something you didn't know you needed
