Born in the real chocolate city, Washington, D.C., with my family hailing from Haiti, I started performing at the age of 3 in Lome, Togo and never stopped. When I returned to DC I attended Washington International School aka didn’t speak English for a while and continued my dancing, acting, and singing training at Jones/Haywood Youth Ballet. My lovingly traditional Haitian parents needed me to get a degree, so I gave them a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Pennsylvania.

To their dismay, upon graduation, I ran to NYC to be my full artist self and had the opportunity to perform works by Robert Battle, Paul Taylor, and Francesca Harper, as well as vocal artists Pharrell Williams, and Beyonce, among others. My Film/TV credits include: Before Men of Divorce (MODCDMX), FBI (CBS), The Equalizer (CBS), The Blacklist (NBC), Gotham (FOX), The Deuce (HBO) and Godfather of Harlem (EPIX). Off-Broadway I’ve performed in The Liquid Plain (Signature Theater) and Standard Time (Fulton Theater).

In addition to doing all things performance, I’ve had quite the journey in the wellness space. My healing journey began unexpectedly through my own need for lasting health. As a Nike Trainer, Reiki Master, and Meditation Instructor, my approach to wellness is rooted in empowerment with the hope of helping clients find lasting health from the inside out. My programming has been featured in Good Morning America, Blavity, Nike Training Club, Well+Good, Health Magazine, Self Magazine, and others. When I’m not programming a spicy workout for Megan Thee Stallion, you can catch Tara eating dark chocolate, writing her next film, or flying for her next community healing event in Brooklyn.
