Meet Tanisha Marshall

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Tanisha Marshall. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Hi Tanisha, really happy you were able to join us today and we’re looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let’s start with the heart of it all – purpose. How did you find your purpose?

I didn’t have to find my purpose—it was already inside me all along. As you grow up, you start to figure out who you are and what you care about. A lot of us are searching for our purpose when it’s already there. I used to write a lot, and when I look back at what I wrote, my purpose was always showing up in those words. But it wasn’t until I was older that it all clicked. I’ve always been who I am, and my purpose has always been with me.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

I am artist based in Dallas, Texas, originally from Illinois. Art came into my life when I needed healing and self-love the most. For many years, I struggled with self-acceptance. Through the creative process, I realized that to find freedom in my life, I had to embrace who I am. It was during this time that I started creating without fear of judgment, allowing me to make art that truly comes from within. My goal is to inspire at least one person (ideally more) to find the freedom to accept themselves as God made them. Everyone is unique, so why not show the world what you have to offer?

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

Determination
I’ve faced a lot of tough challenges in my life—things that could really get anyone down. But I’ve always had the determination to keep going and make something of myself. I just don’t let myself stay in a negative place for too long.

Resilience
When I run into problems, I always bounce back because staying stuck just doesn’t sit right with me. I always find a way to get moving again, no matter what.

Perseverance
Life isn’t perfect for anyone, and I’ve had my share of ups and downs. But no matter what, I always find a way to pick myself up. I believe that when one door closes, another one opens. Sometimes closed doors are actually blessings, guiding us to the right path. That’s how I see life—one closed door just means there’s another one waiting to be opened.

Alright so to wrap up, who deserves credit for helping you overcome challenges or build some of the essential skills you’ve needed?

When I decided to get into art, there was a lot I had to learn. Luckily, I’ve always loved learning, so it’s been fun for me. At first, I didn’t believe I could actually do art, but over time, and with a lot of encouragement, I started calling myself an artist. My husband has been very encouraging and has helped me a great deal especially when it came to calling myself an artist. Also, there’s so much training out there that it’s hard not to get better, so I take classes to help me grow as an artist. Even though I’ve finished a bunch of classes, I know that learning and improving my skills is something I’ll do for my whole life.
