A house RESOLUTION

 

TO RECOGNIZE AND COMMEND TIFFANYJ FOR HER EXCEPTIONAL COMMUNITY SERVICE AND TO CELEBRATE THE TWELFTH AND FINAL BEAUTY, YOU ARE BOOT CAMP, WHICH HAS SHAPED THE LIVES OF SO MANY YOUNG GIRLS ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST.

 

Whereas, TiffanyJ is a radiant force whose life's mission is rooted in one powerful truth: You are enough. Her personal mantra, "Nobody can do me, better than me," isn't just a catchy phrase; it's a call to embrace authenticity and power in your own skin. A soul artist, motivational voice, entrepreneur, and author, she is known as the founder of the Beauty, You Are Boot Camp (BYABC), a three-day empowerment experience that has shaped the lives of hundreds of girls ages 6 to 17 across the Southeast; and

 

Whereas, her passion for this work stems from personal truth. At just 12 years old, TiffanyJ attempted suicide, overwhelmed by the weight of insecurity and internal battles. Years later, as she began her healing journey, a song came to her, "Beauty You Are." Released on January 1, 2013, it became the anthem of the voice she had never had as a child. From that song, the vision for the Beauty, You Are Boot Camp was born; and

 

Whereas, the first camp launched in July 2014, and over the next decade it became a soul-affirming rite of passage for girls navigating self-worth, confidence, body image, and emotional health. Every year, girls walked away stronger, softer, and more secure in their value. In 2020, the camp awarded its very first scholarships; and

 

Whereas, now in its twelfth and final year, Beauty, You Are Boot Camp comes to a close. But it is no coincidence that the number twelve, symbolizing completion, mirrors the age at which TiffanyJ once believed her life no longer had meaning. That full-circle moment makes this year's ending feel not like a goodbye, but rather a sacred completion of healing, purpose, and legacy. Though the camp sessions are ending, TiffanyJ remains committed to continuing the mission through ongoing scholarships and creative mentorship; and

 

Whereas, from this same heart, she also birthed the Super Beauty brand, an extension of her work with BYABC girls, rooted in her transition into authorship. The brand features a plush pep-talking doll that speaks more than twenty positive affirmations, alongside a growing line of children's books and puzzles that center confidence, kindness, and inclusion; and

 

Whereas, TiffanyJ's voice and vision have reached national platforms, including BET's Grand Hustle, Good Morning America, Black Enterprise, Essence, and more. A five-times published author, her first book, It All Starts With Me: An Interactive Guide to Discovering Self and Loving It, features a foreword from her mentor, the late Grammy-nominated artist Angie Stone; and

 

Whereas, she has released several music projects, most recently her live album and documentary film Solbird Sessions Live, which debuted at #8 on the iTunes R&B/Soul charts and is now streaming on Amazon Prime. Currently expanding into a broadcast platform, Solbird Sessions will soon feature a range of artists and incorporate music and art-therapy group sessions, which will continue TiffanyJ's legacy of healing through sound and storytelling; and

 

Whereas, the founder of TJ's Elements LLC, this creative entrepreneur also teaches as a professor at Benedict College and lends her talents as a creative director and video editor for various film, brand, and nonprofit projects. She is the visionary behind the Buddies, Not Bullies Rally & Parade, an annual celebration of art, kindness, and youth voices held in Columbia during National Bullying Prevention Month. From the girl who once questioned her worth to the woman who now walks in purpose, TiffanyJ is living proof that when we choose healing, we make room for purpose to bloom. Now, therefore,

 

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

 

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and commend TiffanyJ for her exceptional community service and celebrate the twelfth and final Beauty, You Are Boot Camp, which has shaped the lives of so many young girls across the Southeast.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to TiffanyJ.
