Tanjalyn "Tanji" Fountain is an accomplished author who has dedicated her life to empowering women through her writing and personal experiences. Her book, "No More Slips: The Lost Art of Class," reflects her journey of self-discovery, resilience, and the pursuit of authenticity.

Tanji's work is deeply rooted in her own life experiences, growing up as a young Black woman in the 70s and 80s, navigating societal pressures, and overcoming personal challenges. Tanji's upbringing was profoundly influenced by the strong women in her life, particularly her mother and grandmothers, who instilled in her the values of hard work, independence, and faith. These lessons have shaped her understanding of elegance and class, emphasizing that true class is not just about appearances but also about having a kind heart and a strong sense of self.
