Raw, deeply entrenched in unapologetic emotion, & soul. These are just a few words to describe the timeless sound of R&B singer-songwriter Tanya Nolan. Not your average musical artist, Tanya’s impressive gift of a voice carries inspiration from an era when R&B was still known as Rhythm & Blues, she is influenced by icons such as Billie Holiday, Chaka Khan, Minnie Ripperton, and Quincy Jones. Born and raised in Galveston, Texas, Tanya is a self-proclaimed Southern girl through and through armed with Proclamations from the City of Houston as well as Galveston. Her unique musical journey began as a percussionist in her Middle School band which later evolved into her role as one of the first female frontline drummers at Grambling State University in Louisiana. Continuing to break down barriers, Tanya’s route towards becoming a professional artist has been far from typical. First and foremost, Tanya is a hugely successful entrepreneur within the childcare services industry. She owns the largest upscale childcare learning facility in Galveston County, Aww Better Childcare Center. She also owns a Licensed Child Care Center for over 16 years in Galveston, TX Nolan’s Child Care Center LLC. Unable to ignore a divine calling to sing and produce music, Tanya’s business empire has enabled her to pursue a second career in music. Tanya’s lyrical prowess often waxes poetic about love and joy, but also the pain and heartache that often intertwines with it. Her authentic words and relatable storytelling have attracted a strong following of loyal fans who listen to her music via top radio stations, satellite radio, in addition to national streaming platforms inclusive of Spotify, Apple Music, and iHeart Radio. As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, Tanya’s video treatments often reflect the romantic relationship between two women, with Tanya’s wife even starring as her love interest in her 2019 “All For You” video. Following the success of her songs “No Pressure,” and “Smile on My Face,” Tanya’s latest single, “Good Woman,” is gaining traction across national radio and debuted as the #2 most added song to R&B radio stations across the country. “Good Woman” is sure to become an anthem as many of Tanya’s fans will sympathize with the notion of having a partner who does not appreciate having “a Good Woman like me” as Tanya echoes throughout the melodic ballad. When Tanya isn’t making and performing music, or planning her expansion of Aww Better Childcare Center, she enjoys mentoring younger artists, developing real estate, and spending time with her wife of 7 years.

Interview with Author Sharon M. Stone - He heals the hurt

https://youtu.be/v2QegGVOyRc

Get this book in Yaya's Book club on Amazon https://amzn.to/3RFpsMs Hurt can sometimes take you by surprise, seemingly knocking you off your feet and taking the wind out of your sails. At that point, what should you do? Or whom can you turn to heal, restore your brokenness, and set you in your rightful place again? As we journey through these pages, you'll see and experience the true remedy to life's aches, woes, and pain through a loving Savior, friend, and much, much more. You've heard it said, "Time heals all wounds!" But does it, really? Many people are imprisoned, chained, or enslaved by the hurt of some sort without realizing it. We all endure pain, suffer loss, anguish, and some type of hurt during our lifetime. But how we deal with it or choose to live with it is another story. In He Heals the Hurt, Sharon Stone reveals that just as hurt comes from the hands of others, our healing can come that way too. She shows that God ultimately administers our healing by using scriptural references, practical application, and life experiences. Apostle Stone learned that through the power and love of Christ Jesus, we could be freed from the bondage of hurt that may have us bound in our spirit, mind, emotions, or soul. She wrote He Heals the Hurt, so you won't have to. Apostle Sharon Stone is a prolific poet with the International Poet Society and Noble House of London. She currently works in the church as a teacher/preacher of the Word, a worship leader, a media minister, and a bearer of the cross. As a minister of God, she meets the needs of the people through intercessory prayer, pulling down the devil's strongholds. In 1995 she began the journey of penning He Heals the Hurt until 1999. It wasn't until the spring of 2009 that she picked it backed up again by the direction of the Holy Ghost and completed the work that she had begun years earlier. https://podopshost.com/yayadiamond
