God continues to blow my mind with the rooms He places me in. Being able to lead a makeup team for the 25th anniversary of Lion King on Broadway was something that only God could align. Creating character designs that traveled through time for the 90’s to the present was such a creative and energetic release that I needed at this point in my career. Wow! God does it again. Tap into my stories for behind the scenes of us shooting this amazing short film from the pov of the makeup department. ~ Watch the new branded short film “Generations” in celebration of The Lion King’s historic 25th Anniversary on Broadway for Disney Theatrical Group.

Life lately… pushing through… postcards from Toronto…living loving and laughing All the affirmations 😂😭😂 Happy Wednesday #touchedbytish #theatrenomad #torontoliving #livingmylife #walkingonsunshine

I have been in serious hibernation the last 48hrs. Resting and restoring my mind. Being still isn’t always the easiest for me. Thoughts of am I not doing enough come up, news of a loved one passing, assessing old relationships and realizing you are in a grieving process of it all. It’s been a heavy few hours but I am grateful for the solitude. The solitude that I choose that brings me peace so I can continue to be a vessel. The solitude that helps me work through my stuff in privacy with my creator. This moment of solitude brought me the realization that Gods name is in every breath I take and because of that I want to seek Him in everything I do. His name brings me peace with every single breath Thank You God. #touchedbytish #peace #solitude #countitalljoy

I dropped my singleversary video on my YouTube channel and I’m excited about all the people that will be encouraged because I decided to document this journey over the last 2 years. God ended a relationship that I didn’t have the courage to end but that doesn’t mean it hurt any less. My knowing that I would be ok didn’t stop the sleepless nights and the crying at every moment. Some days it felt like I would never feel better. Through that pain I put together a plan of action. 12 steps to handling the grief of a break up. I call it the Breakup Blueprint… but it’s a 12 step guide to handling all types of grief because honestly it’s all the same process of walking through it. The only way out is through. Thank you to everyone who has watched this video from beginning to end. Thank you for the encouraging messages. I’m thriving… I’m happier than I ever been and I’m so grateful for God always knowing what’s best for me. My next love will be the most magical God sent love and in the meantime I’m living my life to the fullest so I can be full when my husband finds me. He who finds a wife finds a good thing. I want to be that good thing… but that takes work in my single season to be that.

Would you believe me if I told you this time 2 years ago I got a word that the relationship I invested everything into was about to end? Would you believe me if I told you my intuition wasn’t lying and I made sure I listened? I went into planning mode of how would I be ok after a break up. The break up didn’t even happen yet but I knew I had to be ok when it came. I made a list of places I wanted to go because I decided I wanted to travel to heal. I called it the break up tour. July 4th (no coincidence) the man I loved with everything decided he was moving out and ending our relationship. I came home one day from work to a letter and an empty apartment. 6 months later God blessed me with an opportunity that would allow me to travel the world doing what I love… makeup. The most traumatic heartbreak I ever experienced lead to the most transformative time in my life. I’m gearing up for my singleversary next week because it’s a time to celebrate. Celebrating this time I have to work on me and my relationship with God so I can receive what He has for me. If you are going through a breakup I have a video dropping soon going over my 12 steps to handling grief. Click the link in my bio to stay connected. Happy Throwback Thursday. #touchedbytish #mua #tbt #throwbackthursday #breakup #thebreakupblueprint #loveyourself #theatrenomad #makeupartist #fulltimetraveler

The real flex is in your bounce back game… I’m Queen of the “Girl Get Up” because I know how my God speaks to me. He makes me real uncomfortable so I make a move. Well, I’m making moves because God don’t have to tell me twice. Are you making a move? #touchedbytish #fitcheck #livingmylifemyway #theatrenomad #nomad #blacknomad #fulltimetraveler #kingdomkid #thriftfinds #lululemon #thriftingislife

SELAH…the Hebrew word for pausing and listening. My life is on Do Not Disturb in the spirit of SELAH. No more letting lack luster efforts from outside forces dictate how I feel. No more over achieving to this nonexistent place of perfectionism. At some point you have to stop breaking your own heart by choosing people who wouldnt choose you and holding yourself to a standard God doesn’t even hold you to. SELAH. Taking a pause and listening to what God has to say about everything. That requires silence and reflection. #touchedbytish #selah #kingdomkid #toronto #fulltimetraveler

Todays Daily Devotional hits different. Everything flows from our heart. To calm myself down I often say “get out of your head and into your heart Tishonna”… that’s where the Holy Spirit is able to talk to me and be with me. Proverbs 4:23 shows you why this is important. Human connection is important to all of us. It’s how we are built no matter how much you try to deny it. Drake can say No new friends but honestly we all desire new and old connection. But when you guard your heart with the Holy Spirit you won’t just let any connections attach to you which can feel isolating for the time. This scripture is helping me get through that period of isolation. I trust God is getting rid of the old and bringing in new but there is a waiting period. A waiting period for Him to restore old things into a new way that will serve me or a waiting period for Him to totally get rid of old things and give me brand new things. Father God I only want refurbished relationships and situations if it works like it’s brand new. Amen How are you guarding your heart today that serves you so that you can serve others? Get lost in the world so you can find and create who it is that you always were meant to be. 🙏🏾 #touchedbytish #mua #loveyourself #proverbs31woman #proverbs #kingdomkid #dailydevotional

My ability to be vulnerable is my super power. Through my anxiety, through my fear… if I feel lead to share a word I will. I have been doing these daily devotionals everyday on camera to show myself just how much God works in my life and when I feel lead to share I share. Today was one of those days. I was going through a hard time mentally when I filmed this and who knew that a few weeks later I would need to watch this message myself to reinforce Gods word. This blessed me… again. So instead of just sharing it to my YouTube channel I decided to share the full clip here. A lot of yall have been watching my journey since 2010 on Facebook and twitter. Even when it looks like someone has it all there are major moments like this. My fears are no different from anyone else’s. I just choose to show up for myself no matter how hard the day is because no one is going to show up for me like me. And these days it feels like that’s all I have. Keep walking by faith and not by sight. If your have to rebuild your life piece by piece do that. I’m doing it with you. Let me know in the comments if you made it to the end of there was something that blessed you. Love you… God loves you. Always remember that! #touchedbytish #kingdomkid #mywalkwithchrist #liveinyourtruth

I’m learning that if you haven’t been around me in the last 6-12 months you have no idea who I am anymore. You may think you know but honestly this woman has evolved at rapid speed. I’m realizing this woman I am becoming is choosing different, choosing to show up different, choosing to look at life different. I can admit I had a low standard for how I allowed people to show up in my life and still allowed them access. That’s because I had a low standard for how I showed up for myself. I decided along the way that if I could show up for myself in the way I yearned for others I wouldn’t be pressed about them and I wouldn’t be searching for belonging in the wrong places. This is a season where I walk alone in the flesh but I walk with the confidence of the Holy Spirit. Thank you God for revelation.
