Coming Out Homosexual - Tee Solo
This episode Ms. Wanda & Auntie Angel talk to Tee Solo. Tee Solo, also known as Tiffany Solitaire, is a 36 year old, mother of three, entrepreneur and business owner, and free spirited black woman! Tee is originally from Portland Oregon currently residing in California. Life has dealt her a lot of different challenges from being adopted to being incarcerated. Domestic violence and single parenting are all attributes in her story. The person that she is, is an open book because of humanity. Life is different for each individual and Tee won’t allow herself to be judged or ridiculed for the path she's taken in life and it frees her of the burdens of appeasing to people, which was a major setback for her for a long time. So sharing her story/testimony is always an honor. Progress is evident and Tee will forever be proud of herself for making it far enough to have a story to tell.
