Born and raised in Dayton, Ohio (The Gem City) Tann grew up in direct contact with some of the most memorablemusical icons of the seventies and eighties. Inuenced by the encouraging words and examples of the late

Johnny Wilder Jr. (Heatwave), one of her father gures, coupled with being allowed to witness the late Roger

Troutman (Zapp) work diligently in his studio to create exciting music and videos, Tann fell in love with great

music, television and movies at a very young age.

Tann has been a working actress for more than a decade and has performed extensively with several Midwes

theatre companies including the nationally known St. Louis Black Repertory Company. Since she arrived in The

City of Angels, in 2004 she has worked with The Stella Adler Theatre in Hollywood, CA and The Internationa

and The Shield, and co-starred in two independent lms. She has directed and produced for several ne arts

and professional theatre organizations, college theatre programs and youth acting troupes. She has been a

published writer since 1992 and wrote her rst full length play in 1999 in St. Louis, MO.

In addition to her list of television, independent lm and theater acting credits, Tann is the author of, The

Cinderella Syndrome: When the glass slipper no longer ts, which has become an instant hit and introduced the

world to Hip-Help. Hip-Help, a term coined by Tann, is a brand new approach to self-help. This approach

delivers information using analogies, humor and other practical approaches instead of traditional statistics and

terminology. Tann was awarded the 2005 Reviewers Choice Award for Best Nonction/Self-Help.

She has conducted countless seminars regarding personal development, self-image and assertiveness. She is

the founder of Power and Purpose Productions Inc (PPP Inc.), a non-prot organization designed to help youth

showing academic excellence in the Los Angeles Unied School District, obtain oratory skills and exceptiona

public speaking techniques utilizing creative avenues (role-playing, performance poetry, and creative writing)Tann and the PPP Inc. board members are fully persuaded that all successful businesspeople, teachers and

leaders share a common thread- they all possess exceptional communication and dynamic oratory skills.

Tann incessantly thinks about maintaining the nobility and creativity of the acting craft and is thankful for every

opportunity to do so.

My personal motto is

Whatever we think about

and thank about ...we

bring about. (Dr. John

Demartini)
