Where are you based?
New York

Your job title is an intuitive life coach. Can you explain to our readers what intuitive life coaching is? Why should everyone experience it?
I have a gift that gives me the ability to read someone’s past, present, and the possibilities of their future, whether in person, via video call, a text message, or even through a picture. It is not something I can turn off, and remains on all day. This gift of intuition allows me to help people and coach them by providing guidance and direction to live their best lives.

We learned that you discovered your gift at the age of seven. Can you share with us how you found your gift? How did this discovery influence your development since young?
Since the age of seven, I always knew a lot about people that I wouldn’t share with others. One day I shared what I knew about my mom’s best friend requiring heart surgery. Her best friend confirmed, and was astonished by what I knew, because she did not tell anyone. Once my family discovered my gift, I was taught to keep it to myself to avoid any conflicts. Since none of my friends were knowledgeable as well — I became the best relationship advisor. Overall, my gift influenced me to want to help more people.

With this gift, you must be someone that likes to say it like it is. Do people get intimidated when they talk to you? If so, how do you deal with that?
Yes, I tell people what they need to know, and not what they want to hear. Some may be intimidated, but it’s due to not knowing what information will come up during their session.

In The Clay Cane Show, you speak about being able to read people’s prophecies, i.e., the past and future. When was the first time that you recognized the benefits of showing people guidance using this gift? What sort of mental or physical change did you notice?
I was on the subway going home with my brother, and there was a woman on the train beside me that I could sense was really sad. I turned to the woman and shared that she needed to let go of her deceased husband and move on with her new husband because her former husband was okay. The lady was shocked and could not understand how I knew so much, but wanted to know more. At that moment, I could feel her aura lightening up, and my words comfort and reassure her. That is one of several moments when I knew I wanted to help more people.

Previously, you were a Chief of Staff and Chief of Development and Partnerships in media and non-profit companies before becoming an intuitive life coach. You gave up a stable income to follow your calling. How did you decide to switch?
It was challenging to work a full-time job and conduct sessions afterward. In order to help more people, I would not be able to do both. When my husband and I were returning from our honeymoon, it was at that moment I felt the urge to take a leap of faith and go full time with my business and focus on helping others.

You followed your path with the gift you have and have made so much success from it, to help those in guidance from Hollywood’s most notable, to “everyday people” like Joan from Fresh Market or Bob from Pep Boys. How have you been able to create a safe space for your clients? Does it have any impact on your wellbeing?
Before each session, I pray and give my clients full autonomy to ask questions on what they are seeking clarity on with no judgment. Also, fun fact, I don’t retain information. I forget what I share with my clients within one day. When I have back-to-back sessions, it can take a toll on my energy because it can be draining. Naps are essential for me to reboot and refresh.

Besides having the gift of guiding those in need, you also have a talent for entrepreneurship, having built ‘Talk to Tash’ single-handedly from the ground up. Can you talk about your journey as a colored woman in building a business? Have you ever experienced any hardship in terms of race and gender discrimination?
I was raised and taught that I can accomplish anything I put my mind to with discipline and hard work. It isn’t easy building a business from the ground up, but with the proper team having my back, it makes it easier. I can focus on my gift to help others, while my team supports me and my business, giving it the bandwidth to grow. Thankfully, I have not experienced race and gender discrimination while building my business.

Your journey is really empowering to Jejune. What advice can you give to our readers, especially women, if they want to start their own business or are unsure about their current career path?
Years ago, I was advised to “take a leap of faith.” I took my leap of faith, investing 100% of my time into my business, and I have no regrets. Growing a business is a journey, and is not easy. It is important for you to become a subject matter expert by educating yourself, building your network, and having the ability to pivot at all times.

Jejune also learned that you are the Vice-Chair for a non-profit org called “Black Women for Black Girls,” which we would love to know more about and support. How did you get involved with this? Can you tell us more about this non-profit organization’s work and its mission?
Joi Gordon is very dear to me, and was leading the organization when I joined. “Black Women for Black Girls” (BW4BG) is a giving circle composed of black women from the greater New York area that supports organizations, causes, and initiatives that seek to enhance the lives of black girls throughout the five boroughs. BW4BG members pledge a financial contribution for two years and collaborate to create significant grant-making opportunities. The grants issued by BW4BG are issued to programs and organizations that have demonstrated both the ability and the capacity to improve the lives of black girls in the New York area. In addition, grant recipients must demonstrate that the programs for which they are being awarded funds make a tangible impact in the BW4BG programmatic prongs, as determined by the study, Black Girls in New York City: Untold Strength & Resilience.

How can we raise awareness for organizations such as these and their causes, and if our readers want to get involved, what can they do? Are there any resources you could share?
Please see the link below for more information on how you can support: Become a BW4BG Member – Black Women For Black Girls.

What are your plans for 2021? Should we be on the lookout for anything new from you?
Yes, I am having my first Meet & Greet in Washington D.C. on September 18th. I am so excited to meet many of my clients in person and to also conduct live readings on stage. In addition, I co-authored the book “Still I Thrive! 25 Lessons on How to Pivot and Evolve During an Unexpected Crises”, my chapter title is “The Power of the Pivot.”

How have you been staying positive during the shelter in place?
I have been able to remain positive because I am able to continue to help others while sheltering in place.

Lastly, what is your motto in life?
I will tell you what you need to hear and not what you want to hear.
