Author. Speaker. One dope mama.
Here’s the Tee…
Tanisia “Tee” Moore is a revered voice of African American storytelling known affectionately as “your family’s favorite author.” She writes for young people under her own name and in adult contemporary romance as Nisia Roye. The common thread in all her books is her deep love of sharing life lessons embedded in Black culture.
For young people, Tee is the author of:
- I Am My Ancestors’ Wildest Dreams (picture book with illustrator Robert Paul Jr, Scholastic Press)
- When Black Girls Dream Big (picture book with illustrator Robert Paul Jr, Scholastic Press, out October 15, 2024)
- Wash Day Love (picture book with illustrator Raissa Figueroa, Scholastic Press, out May 4, 2025)
- The Micah Hudson chapter book series (Book 1, Micah Hudson: Football Fumble with illustrator Aaron Cargill, Reycraft Books),
- Film Makers: 15 Groundbreaking Women Directors (YA nonfiction with Lyn Miller-Lachmann, Chicago Review Press)
In adult contemporary romance, Tee is the author of After the Storm (writing as Nisia Skyy, Dynamic Image Publications). She has new novels in the works.
Tee passionately believes that motherhood does not mean giving up womanhood. On her podcast, The Other Side of Momming, Tee and her special guests spill the, ahem, *tea* on it all — finding joy, self-care, pregnancy, dating, divorce, grief, and (you know it!) sex. You can raise tiny humans and live out your purpose, all while being very dope. Tee is also the force behind MomTings.com, an apparel and lifestyle brand for mamas who need a gentle reminder that you can care for your babies and tend to your dreams. Some tings are just for you.
Originally from Southern California, Tee is a proud alumna of Clark Atlanta University—where she majored in Mass Media Arts with a concentration in radio—and Florida A&M University College of Law. She is a former attorney now writing and momming full-time in Alabama.

How are we raising these tiny humans while still trying to live out our purpose? This is a safe place for all us moms trying to make the most of this life while still being dope mamas!

Chapter 39: Travel Adventures with the Little Humans
I recently had a road trip with my daughters. This is not the first time I have traveled with my girls by myself. I have gotten used to loading them up and hitting the road with them.I even took a solo trip to California with Savvy back in May. Whenever I travel with the girls, I get questions from my mommy friends about how do I do it? I have a few friends who are pros at this and I definitely have followed their advice. If I’m being honest, I prefer to travel with my husband or with another
Chapter 38: Fickle Folks
People are so fickle. One minute people love you and the next minute they hate you. It doesn’t take much for people to change their minds about you. It can be so quick the way they do it. On Monday, they will love you to life and by Thursday, you’ll be invisible to them. Why am I talking about this? I’m bringing light to this to remind you that sometimes you just can’t live up to people’s expectations, and that’s okay.Let me say that again: you can NOT always live up to other people’s
Chapter 37: Dream Snatchers
Listen… I’m going to cut to the chase on this here blog post today. I have a vent. Ready or not here I go.People love to impose their beliefs, thoughts, and fears upon you. I have some stories but at the risk of being found out, I will refrain from giving a personal account today. A great deal of what I have dealt with when it comes to fears and issues I face have come through the spoken words of someone else. A friend or family member, these are the worst offenders, is often the person to

Chapter 35: I have a therapist- 4 Reasons why I got a Therapist
Yep, you read that right. I have a therapist. I re-entered therapy after I gave birth to my second daughter. I felt as if a bout of depression was upon me, and I wanted to deal with it before it dealt with me.Anxiety. Sadness. Frustration. Every day after the delivery. I knew I needed to reach out to someone as I was beginning to understand how unhealthy my thoughts toward my family, myself, and my children were.Relaunched law firm. New baby. Now, two babies. Wife.
