Tiffany Tilley, the visionary behind Phoenix Rising Publishing Co., LLC.

​

A woman of strength and vision, Tiffany’s journey began in the heart of Detroit, shaped by early adversity and a deep desire to serve her community. But long before she held leadership titles or launched impactful initiatives, Tiffany found her voice through the power of poetry.

​

She began writing at the age of six, with poetry as her first love—a sacred space where she could pour out her thoughts, feelings, and dreams. Those early verses became her outlet during difficult times, helping her process the challenges of childhood and the weight of growing up fast. Poetry taught her the value of expression, truth, and emotional healing—tools that would later become central to her work as an author and leader.

​

For Tiffany, writing is more than a passion; it’s a lifeline. Her words are deeply personal, shaped by lived experiences that span caregiving as a teenager, breaking through societal barriers, and rising as a fierce advocate for youth, education, wellness, and equity. Every book and journal in her Know Thyself series is an invitation—an honest, empowering guide designed to help readers heal, reflect, and rise.

​

Tiffany’s authorship is an extension of her purpose. Whether through reflective prompts, affirmations, or poetic expressions woven into her work, she writes to connect. She writes to transform. And most of all, she writes to remind others that they, too, have a story worth telling—and a life worth thriving in.
