tina scott lassiter, MBA, is a gifted creative who challenges, while being respectful of, clichés and the norm, believing that we all have room for intelligent exchange and growth beyond conventional thought. She is a Creative Wellness Consultant/Practitioner; professional collagist, photographer, author/writer, speaker; moderator/host; and podcaster who thoroughly embraces interacting with people as she teaches and opens herself to learning.
Using the arts and senses, life experiences, education, and certifications in several mind-body disciplines, her innovative trainings/workshops for individuals and organizations focus on personal/professional development; mindful communications; emotional, social, and inner well-being; or examination of life narratives and their trajectory.
Tina’s intricate hand-cut, pieced-paper and torn paper collages originally addressed self-esteem and personal body awareness; they later materialized as statement art, dictated by current events and social issues. Both collages and photographs have been exhibited in various live and virtual shows and galleries. Her art and essays have appeared in a number of online and printed national publications; she was one of 25 out of 480 to have a monologue selected to be read in an off-Broadway show then published in an anthology. Tina self-published a book of inspirational messages; teaches writing classes; co-developed and co-hosts the podcast, The Body Love Construct, focusing on reconstructing the generational narratives of Black women; and serves as a moderator for panel discussions when invited to host.
An Adjunct Instructor for Smith Center for Healing and the Arts, Tina served as a Corporate Presenter for Recharj, a DC-based wellness studio for five years and was Director of Creative & Therapeutic Arts at Children’s National for 15. It is worth noting her four year term as Director of Training for the American Women’s Economic Development Corporation and two semesters as Adjunct Professor of Creative Writing for LaGuardia Community College while living in NYC. Educational achievements include completing the Arts in Medicine Intensive at the University of Florida Center for the Arts in Healthcare Research & Education and the Executive Presentation Skills course at Communispond, as well as receiving an MBA in Marketing from NYU’s Stern School of Business and her BA in Communications, minor in Social Work, from Howard University.
