00:00Tiana Taylor. Her name evokes the essence of raw Harlem energy wrapped in pure talent
00:11gold. Dancer, singer, actress, director, entrepreneur. This uptown queen emerged with the kind of
00:19swag that demands attention and the divine gifts to back it up. At just 15, she was already
00:26choreographing for Beyonce's Bring the Alarm video. Her electrifying fade performance earned
00:31an MTV VMA for Best Choreography, displaying resplendent power in motion, and birthing her
00:38fade to fit empire. Tiana is a force of nature who refuses to fit in anybody's box. A regal
00:44lynx moving through our zeitgeist with commanding grace, transforming everything she touches.
00:49The creative process for me for sure is definitely a lot of spitball and a lot of
00:55discussion. A lot of healthy dialogue, a lot of healthy debates. All I gotta do is make a couple of
01:01ugly faces. It sounded better being ugly. Sometimes I also dream about it. Known as Spike T behind the scenes,
01:12she directs visuals with such soul and sophistication that she's claimed multiple BET
01:18awards. Her acting journey soared from memorable roles in Coming to America to her breakthrough
01:24in 1001, earning critical acclaim and the National Board of Review's recognition.
01:30Tiana Taylor does it all with a kind of unapologetic black excellence that makes your heart swell
01:36with pride. She embodies the spirit of our ancestors who knew we could be anything and
01:41everything we wanted to be. I just always want to see people win, you know, and I think that's
01:47where the auntie coin kicks in too because I just want to help everybody. I just want to coddle and
01:51say, okay, baby, we got it. You know, like you ain't got to be discouraged about this. You ain't
01:56got to be discouraged about that. We're going to get through it. You know what I'm saying? Like you
02:01can go into it, but like on some jazzy ish, you know what I'm saying? I think that would just be,
02:06it would be so cinematic. It's like helping others heal me in a way. Tiana Taylor stands as a legendary
02:12talent who proves that when you're truly blessed with gifts, you should use every single one of
02:18them. She's the blueprint for what happens when you take your dreams,
02:22multiply them by your talent and refuse to let anybody dim your shine.
