“The War and Treaty – Tanya Takes the Mike”[/vc_column_text][vc_message color=”alert-info” style=”3d”]On this fourth and final episode of my “War and Treaty special,” I finish up strong with the conclusion of my interview with Tanya Blount!  She is one beautiful and charming guest, and like her musical husband Michael Trotter, she has a shining positive attitude!  We pick up from the previous conversation, about starting their own music company.  Tanya and I discuss some more of her acting experience on the set of Sister Act 2, and then she gives me some insight on what it was like to sign with a major record label in the 90’s.  But, of course, she travels with me down the path of faith, and gives us all something special to think about.   Please enjoy the show!![/vc_message][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text h1_css=”{.vc_customizer_1438209013087}” h2_css=”{.vc_customizer_1438209013087}” h3_css=”{.vc_customizer_1438209013088}” h4_css=”{.vc_customizer_1438209013089}” h5_css=”{.vc_customizer_1438209013090}” h6_css=”{.vc_customizer_1438209013090}” p_css=”{.vc_customizer_1438209013091}” link_css=”{.vc_customizer_1438209013091}” list_css=”{.vc_customizer_1438209013092}”]

Faith, Family and Music. Ok, it sounds cliché, but it’s the center of everything I am. All I do and am comes from God and my love of family drives my message of power and purpose to teens and the people who encourage them. I speak professionally to teens, young adults, parents, educators, youth pastors and anyone else who can make an impact. I’ve also got a band that writes and plays music that aligns with my message and assignment.[/vc_message][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” interval=”3″ images=”11822,11935,11936,10316,10315″ onclick=”custom_link” custom_links_target=”_self”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_video title=”The War and Treaty” link=”https://vimeo.com/124173340″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][ivan_info_box ico_family=”fa fa-” position=”left” vertical=”no” align=” default-align” style=”circle” size=”64″ main_css=”{.vc_customizer_1429157000793}” icon_css=”{.vc_customizer_1429157000794}color:#dd3333;background-color:#1e73be;” title_css=”{.vc_customizer_1429157000795}” content_css=”{.vc_customizer_1429157000795}” ico=”music”]Please visit The War and Treaty’s website:
