We had the good fortune of connecting with Tiffanie Cross and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tiffanie, other than deciding to work for yourself, what else do you think played a pivotal role in your story?
It would have to be my pursuit of really understanding who I am as a person, through self help tools and therapy. Really digging into my overall (mental, emotional, physical and spiritual) wellbeing cleared my mind and spirit. . It allowed me to find my true identity; and in turn, allowed me to clarify my purpose and goals.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Deciding to start a business has always been a goal of mine. Something about working more than half my life to build someone else’s dreams just never set well with me. I wanted more for myself and I knew it would never come from just working a 9-5. Believing in yourself takes courage and a plan. It’s not easy, but it’s worth it. MsCross Entertainment Inc. is founded on a strong desire to help and heal people. Whether its through, singing songs I release as an artist, the food I make and recipes I sell as a lover of cooking, through production of thought provoking conversation facilitated through my upcoming Podcast release of “Morning Talks with Tiff,” continued Youtube series, “Brunch N’ Conversation,” and the association for black women to connect, foster and nurture relationships with fellow black women, I started with a friend of mine, called “The SisterHood,” the the goal is to help heal the world, through touching and healing souls.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
We would probably start off with a meditative hike to a dope waterfall like Eaton Canyon or Lewis Falls, then we would hit up one of my favorite black-owed breakfast spots, “The Nest.” After that, we would hit the beach for drinks, games, music, uno, the sunset and a bonfire with friends.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Outside of the abundance of love, support and encouragement I received from my parents, these books have helped guide me into realizing my highest self: -The Bible -A Return To Love -Relational Intelligence -Overcoming Conflict: How to deal with difficult people and situations -13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do -The Artist’s Way – All About love.
