POEM: Being the Evidence ⁉️ The name "Exhibit Tay" was never intended to be self-glorifying. It was born from a burden for advocacy, justice, truth and transformation. While I once putsued becoming a lawyer, that path shifted. Over time, I realized my purpose was not only to defend evidence, but to become it. To live as proof that healing, growth, surrender and identity are possible.What better way to explain it than through a poetry? Enjoy the video.#poetry #author #impact #speaker #exhibittay by @exhibit_tay

GRIEF'S DEMAND: RIP Padre July 14Grief is universal, yes, but how we experience it, how we carry it and how it reshapes us... that part is deeply personal. As I remember my father on this date of his passing, I share a snippet from the chapter in my book on grief which honors lives lost that impacted me. I pray grace for you on your grief journey 🙏🏽 #author #poetry #amazon #grief #healing by @exhibit_tay

About MY TEAM, MY TEAM, MY TEAM There is no way I could have brought Relinquished: An Embodied Live Experience to life without this amazing team of family, friends, church family, and creatives who willingly gave their time, talents, encouragement, and hearts to help carry this vision. From planning meetings to setup, hospitality, technology, photography, guest experience, prayer, dance, books sales, refreshments, decor and countless behind-the-scenes moments, each person played a meaningful role in making the day what it was. What touched me most wasn't simply what they did, it was that they believed in something that first lived only in my heart. They showed up, served with excellence, adapted when needed, celebrated EVERY win, and loved on EVERY guest as though this vision belonged to them too. To each of you: thank you for saying "yes." Thank you for your sacrifice, your flexibility, your laughter, your prayers, your encouragement, and your willingness to serve so selflessly. I pray you know that you weren't just helping with an event. You helped create an experience that I believe will stay with people long after they left the theater.I am deeply grateful, deeply honored, and incredibly blessed by each of you.This was never "my" event.It was something we created together.With all my love and appreciation... thank you. ❤️#booklaunch #friends #team #author #poetry by @exhibit_tay

SHAN-TAY'S REFLECTION: 🫵🏾 TO EVERYONE WHO CAME TO MY "BOOK SIGNING" WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT TO EXPECT, THANK YOU. Your messages, phone calls, and testimonies have overjoyed me. Thank you for receiving my offering and my sacrifice.THIS surreal moment was never about the applause. THIS moment was about the fulfillment of a vision God spoke over my life in 2014. This showing was the realization of years of refining, healing, and obedience. And, Lord willing, I will be graced to continue sharing and to expand the reach. THE APPLAUSE FADED. THE ASSIGNMENT CONTINUES. #author #poetry #books #dance by @exhibit_tay
