At an early age Tandia gave her life to the lord and became a long time member of Evangelical Faith Vision Ministries, Inc.

Tandia attended school in the Dougherty County School System, starting her journey at Lamar Reese Magnet School of Arts, Southside Middle School and graduating from Albany Early College in 2016. Tandia always had a heart and passion for being a caretaker and working in the healthcare field. She was employed by Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital & Pruitt Health-Palmyra, ranking as one of the best CNA's that walked the halls!

Whenever in Tandia's presence you felt her strength and if you ever talked with her you heard her sassiness.  In 2020, after suffering hair loss from Lupus, she created her on natural hair oil, and from there she founded & CEO of Natures Roots 100% All Natural. She was indeed a BOSS!!!

Tandia will forever remain in the lives of all who knew her.
