Hi, I’m Tiera Richardson!

My life has been anything but ordinary. I suffered and recovered from a bilateral cerebellum stroke that changed my entire world. That's why I want to help people like me thrive instead of just finding ways to survive. Verily, I use my passion to empower Stroke/ TBI survivors to make the most of every moment.

Hi, I’m Tiera Richardson!

My life has been anything but ordinary. I suffered and recovered from a bilateral cerebellum stroke that changed my entire world. That's why I want to help people like me thrive instead of just finding ways to survive. Verily, I use my passion to empower Stroke/ TBI survivors to make the most of every moment.

My experience has been life-changing, to say the least, but it’s the reason I know that suffering a stroke is not the end.

Just like you, I felt helpless, and disappointed once I woke up. Life had given me another chance but I just couldn’t get out of that mental slump. However, gradually I was able to recover both physically and spiritually.

I was stripped of my career, my strength and just so much but I didn’t let that stop me from claiming my life and you don’t have to either!
