OUR TEAM
TIA LEE
My journey in empowering women began in 2013 when I saw how systemic barriers hold women back—especially those with the fewest resources. As a former teenage mom, wife, and survivor of domestic violence, I know firsthand how life’s challenges can shape your path.
In 2019, I started small coaching sessions with professional women, which grew into the T Time Foundation by 2021. Our mission is to provide coaching and mentorship to women survivors, helping them move beyond recovery and into leadership.
Now, we’re expanding with MINT—a mentorship program launching in January 2025 for teenage girls at a Nashville high school. MINT will equip young women with the confidence, tools, and community to thrive as future leaders.
My greatest inspiration? My daughter, JaTorria—our Director of Development—who continues to help carry this mission forward.

DR. LAKISHA SIMMONS
In 2017, after a divorce and living paycheck to paycheck as a single mom, I sold my five-bedroom home and downsized to a two-bedroom apartment. Determined to take control of my finances, I learned personal finance and how the stock market works. By 2021, I built a $750k nest egg!
As a first-generation college student, I’ve been featured on Good Morning America, Business Insider, and People Magazine for my money-saving and investing tips. Now, as an award-winning financial coach, I’m here to teach you how to make your money work for you—so you can retire early or become work-optional!
