It’s Me, Tee…

The ‘Tee’ stands for Tiffany. My faith in God, remembering who I am as a Woman, embracing that I am exactly the Mother my kids need, and nurturing the passion I have for what I do as an Influencer. This is what I share with you through each post, image, and video – giving you a glimpse of MY everyday journey as me – Tee.

Since beginning this journey as a Blogger I have found nothing but blessings.  Even on the days when I have felt beat up and bruised by HTML Codes I still felt encouraged by my Readers.  I realize that none of this is possible without them, and I am always grateful for their words of encouragement and support.

 

 “Tiffany Haywood is a pillar of strength, courage, fortitude, and faith, who has overcome numerous obstacles in her life with the grit and determination of a true champion.  Today, she coaches other mothers to do the same, winning personal and professional matches that result in peace-of-mind, self-fulfillment, renewed purpose, and hard-earned happiness. ”

Sharing The How…

I have reached a place where I want to give back by offering my skills in Branding, Social Networking, and WordPress Tech Tips to help other Bloggers. For me, Blogging is all about community and supporting those who are a part of that community with you. That is where TiffanyHaywood.com was born. I offer tips to blog at rates that won’t bust your budget…

In partnership with the Women’s Business Center At CEED here in Fayetteville, I offered a series of workshops focused on teaching Small Business Owners and Entrepreneurs the skills they need to increase the impact and influence their business has within their community. I’ve also been a Guest Presenter for the United Way of Cumberland County’s Leadership Development Program. I’m excited for upcoming engagements here in Fayetteville and throughout North Carolina.

 

 I highly recommend Tiffany – Her services are impeccable, she’s punctual, gives unbiased advice, and produces results!

Katlin Neese – Former WBCFay Interim Director

From 2019 – 2021, I was a member of the team at the Women’s Business Center of Fayetteville at CEED as a Business Consultant with a focus on Social Media & Marketing. This position allowed me to extend my passion for helping women and small business owners grow through hands-on workshops, support, and guidance I always tell people when they ask why I decided to take on this role in addition to my own ‘it was simply a natural extension of who I am and what I love to do!’

Since moving on from this position, I have refocused on building and growing my businesses to reflect that continued passion for providing support, education, and encouragement to my fellow small business owners.

Beyond My URL…

Video has become a natural extension of who I am as an Influencer. I am having a blast venturing beyond my URL and Sharing my Life as a Believer, Woman, Mother & Influencer through my YouTube Channel: Tee On YouTube where I share Chats, TAGS, Challenges, Event Coverage & More!

I’ve also had the opportunity to become a Radio Show Host on WIDU’s “What’s Going On Fayetteville” and a Segment Host on The Ray Thomas LIVE Variety Show on Bronco iRadio

My Team…

I have 5 children I call ‘My Team‘. Their ages range from 27 down to nearly 2! Specifically, 27, 16, 15, 13, and Lil’Man who was born in February of 2022!! Yes, I know we have a couple of extra-large gaps in there and no I don’t know what I was thinking…LOL.

When I had my oldest daughter I became a stay-at-home mom. A name which, by the way,  gives no credit to the job skills it requires for nurturing, wrangling, and at times entertaining Kiddies of any age. Speaking of which . . .

Aloha …

It turns out the SAHM decision was a good one.  I ended up being stationed in Hawaii, where I had no family (other than our Army family) and knew very few people.  I made the first move there (including the 3 plane 15 1/2 hour flight) while being 7 months pregnant with my 2nd daughter.  Talk about a tough flight…Whew!

We lived on base there for a year and I gave birth to my daughter at the Army Hospital. So technically, I have a ‘local’ for a daughter.  Pretty cool huh? With 2 toddlers now and a pre-teen son, I moved back Stateside and stayed in North Carolina throughout the deployment.

Once we returned to our Aloha home I was preggers once again and flew this time at about 8 months pregnant. I know I’m a glutton for punishment. I had my Buddie (now 13) and he became our second little ‘local’ child.

 

North Carolina At Heart…

We moved back Stateside when my three littles were all under 3!! I was so happy to return to North Carolina where I have more family and friends. I knew NC was going to be our forever home and started establishing roots for my Kiddies, my business, and my life.

Then nearly 10 years later, God did as He does and threw a slight detour into my life. I was blessed to have my fifth baby at 43, an aaaah-may-zing little boy who has given me a perspective on who I am as a woman I don’t think I could have ever found without him.

I’ve always said I’m a New York girl to start but now I know, I’m a truly North Carolina Girl at heart.

Wait, I’m An Author

My most recent path on the journey called life has led me to fulfill a desire and purpose I’ve had since my late teens – becoming an author.

I’ve always known my story is meant to be shared but getting there, taking those first steps towards moving my words beyond my journal, my screen and my social hasn’t been easy.

I was scared and unsure how to even begin. Yet when you ask God to make a way – he never fails to do just that! I was shocked when the perfect opportunity to bring forth what I know is the first step toward my book was given to me by Dr. Anissa Short of Chosen Pen Publishing.

The result is my chapter in the anthology project: Titus 2 Principe Reach Teach Lead. This project has been nothing short of life-changing for me. It came at a time when I was unsure of who I was, who I could be, and how to do either. Yet writing this chapter pushed me to look at where I’ve come from and all the things God has already brought me through. In doing that it restored my confidence in all He still has ahead of me.

You can read my chapter and those of my wonderful co-authors plus get a personally signed copy – just click here to order.

That’s Me, Tee!
