““As a facilitator, Tanya accesses individuals in a way that leaves an impression that lasts a life time. She is a leader in her community sharing with us through humor, pop culture, and self-knowledge. Through attending her workshops, I have learned to make wigs, felt empowered to start a business and/or understand how sacred my labour is, and be kinder to myself as a being on this earth. I strongly believe there is no one better in Toronto to lead an aesthetically empowering resource for Black femme identified people.” ”
“Have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time.”

“I create spaces for people to fall in love with who and how they are.”
““Overall there is no better person to lead this workshop than Tanya Turton. She is so thoughtful, caring and genuinely cares about our healing. I met Tanya almost four years ago and I can say I am a better person through knowing her. Every person she meets, every soul she touches is impacted in the best way possible. She encourages me to live freely. She reminds me I am more than what I have experienced; I am capable and worthy. Tanya understands the nuances of being a black women and attempting to heal: the difficulties of naming our pain and trauma, our inability to sit on it and rather the ways we feel we must fix ourselves.””
"My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.”

“creativity keeps the world alive, yet, everyday we are asked to be ashamed of honoring it, wanting to live our lives as artists. i’ve carried the shame of being a ‘creative’ since i came to the planet; have been asked to be something different, more, less my whole life. thank spirit, my wisdom is deeper than my shame, and i listened to who i was. i want to say to all the creatives who have been taught to believe who you are is not enough for this world, taught that a life of art will amount to nothing, know that who we are, and what we do is life. when we create, we are creating the world. remember this, and commit.”
