Tanisha Renee Gladney, aka Tee Renee, a
native of Oakland, CA, mother of three
handsome boys, and selfproclaimed "Jill of All
Trades", fell in love with writing and telling
stories as a little girl. Her mother says that
ever since she could talk, Tee Renee would
give you every detail of the story instead of
just giving you the highlights like most people
do.
Her first try at public writing was a poem she
wrote for a Black History program in high
school and she has been hooked ever since.
Through the years Tee Renee has been
involved in writing by helping people with
various writing projects, lending her literary
skills to Swag Magazine CA, FORMation
Magazine and literaryjewelsonline.com, as a
contributing writer, interviewer and editor, and
blogging on a variety of subjects.
After years of keeping ideas, story lines and characters in her head and heart, Tee Renee has
finally decided to share this gift with the world. As an avid reader herself, she thrives for the kind of
story that makes you feel like you are right there with the characters and that is exactly the kind of
feeling she intends to give to her readers through her projects. A brand new author to the literary
world, she is extremely excited about sharing her imagination with the world. Her first series,
Neighborhood Kandii, gives you a glimpse of what’s to come.
In her spare time Tee Renee enjoys cuddling up with a good book, watching movies, and spending
time with her loved ones. Her life’s mantra is ‘To love hard, live everyday as if it was your last, and
laugh until you can no longer breathe’!
