For the past 3 years, I have gleaned from the expertise of Tajudeena Jones and Totally Positive Productions. Through God’s Wisdom, Knowledge and Gifts, My journey in Spoken Word and Public Speaking, for years, has granted me access to many main stages throughout my Career.

My experience with TPP was a beautiful one. My family, including myself, 5 children and grandmother were picked up from our scheduled pickup location by TPP transportarion on time. The team was very nice and helpful with loading the stroller for the smaller children onto the bus. During the ride, the itenerary for arriving at Navy Pier was clear and led us to further more excitement as we were told we'd get to enjoy free pizza! What child dosen't enjoy pizza? And what parents dosent enjoy free pizza? We we're picked up on time and arrived at our drop off location on time. We are grateful and look forward to more field trips and or experiences with TPP in the near future.
