TES, born Tashianna Elayne Stewart grew up in Decatur, GA. She is a middle child with two brothers and was raised in a “Jamaican” household (Jamaican Father and American Mother). She had the honor of having both loving grandmothers teach her the importance of respect for herself and others.
From an early age, TES was bullied, and later on, experienced troubles during college. These troubles included leaving college as she struggled to understand her purpose in life. During this time away, TES found her self-worth and value after facing challenges and repeated failures as a young working adult.
TES later attended an Information technology program where she was able to enroll back into college. She later graduated as a top student with scholar testing scores. This allowed her to intern at a large technology company where she later obtained full employment. This journey allowed TES to experience learning from failure, obtaining success, and building resiliency.
TES is the Founder of the lifestyle brand Success Over Suicide. The mission of this brand encourages lifestyle habits such as mental health, self-awareness, self-love, and self-worth. These habits are important to learn at an early age as these are some of the ingredients to obtaining a life full of balance, healing, wellness, and overall success.
TES is living her purpose as a groundbreaking motivational speaker who invigorates students, teachers, and entrepreneurs to see the importance of empathy for others and the power of believing in yourself and exceeding goals.
