A native New Yorker who grew up in the Webster Projects in the Bronx, Terrah got sick and tired of waiting for someone to save the day and rewrote her own script. Her book and workbook, “Being Bigger Badder Bolder Better,” lays out the three acts she used to redesign her blueprint, with thirteen exercises readers can do themselves. She is the creator of the BIGGER! media brand and a mentor and coach to emerging artists and everyday dreamers, and she has served as a workshop facilitator for the nonprofit GWEN. For two years, as a coach and instructor for Transforming Arts and Minds in San Bernardino, she worked with pre-teens and teens, using the creative arts as a tool to empower them. She lives and works in Los Angeles.
