N.B.S: Networking Business Solutions- Introduces.....The Beautiful Ms. Ta'Kenya Jene'a

Ta’kenya Jene’a was born on the west side of Chicago with her mother and father. At the age of five she starred in her first play, "ANNIE." This was the beginning of my artistic journey. During childhood she witnessed an abusive relationship between her mother and father but her mother made sure that she was safe. Her mother attempted to leave with her family one day before Ta’kenya’s father returned home but she was not successful.

Later, that same month her mother was able to pack up her family and move them to University Park away from her father. Although she has not had any contact with her dad since they moved from the city, she realizes as a parent herself that her mom made the best decision for them. Living in the suburbs she became exposed to diversity. Ta’kenya stated that “before she moved she never had the opportunity to learn in an environment with individuals of another race”; she truly enjoyed it. Ta’kenya joined chorus, got involved in dance and theater which lead to her being a part of an award winning show with her choir in high-school called "Faces."

In addition, Ta’kenya during this past summer has accomplished so much in her music career. She recorded her album and that has been released; recently joined a foundation for “The Arts” with a few other talented individuals. The program was originated to teach children about expanding their gifts in a Creative Learning Program which will be located in Chicago’s Roseland community.

As far as challenges go, Ta’kenya’s experiencing them; she’s built up her endurance and continues to walk in love because all of her struggles are worth fighting through. She tries not to look backwards and focuses daily on the present, unless her testimony is relevant to someone else’s deliverance she prefers not to bring them up. Many of the songs Ta’kenya has written reflect on her past and present experiences.

Ta’kenya attended Millikin University and graduated with a BA in Art Therapy, with a Minor in Vocal Performance and Psychology. She is currently in graduate school for Art therapy. Ta’kenya is known for her beautiful voice and she has also performed at poetry sets, special shows for musical artist in the downtown Chicago area. She is also an actress and recognized as a visual artist. Ta’kenya teaches art to students and provides expressive therapy for all the children she encounters; encouraging them to use their own creative gifts. She participates at her church New Life Family Worship Center as a member of the children's ministry and the Theater department.

She is apart of "Pipe down Production Studios" a recording studio in South Holland, IL and a member of "Rokittjohn World Wide Media Group" an Independent record label connected with Def Jam Records.Ta’kenya has a strong love for God and she’s grateful for the many blessings that he has placed in her life. One of her favorite quote is "I am creator, Created to create." -Laff Simmons
