BRENDA M. TILLMAN
- Inspiring -
Poet, Author, Motivational and Inspirational Speaker, Freelance writer, Model, Photographer, Humanitarian, Business professional, and Marketing consultant, Brenda M. Tillman shares her life experiences – real and imagined, through poetic expression, in her first book, Shades of Mandingo, for the purpose of inspiring, encouraging, and motivating men to realize their kingly nature.
Brenda is spiritual, and enthusiastic about life. Her motto is “live life to the fullest and experience the abundance of God’s blessings daily.” In addition to her spiritual convictions, she is a romanticist, who believes that there is a king/queen for every person, who is willing to develop to their personal best, their universally complete self (that is spiritually, emotionally, physically, financially, and sexually).” This concept means that you must first reign on your own throne before your soul mate can reign with you.

Brenda’s goal is to celebrate the uniqueness, strength, passion and spirituality of her male counterparts, in hopes that the world will join her.
