Born and raised in Mobile, Al, Taj has been a strong, avid reader and writer since grade school. Her love for urban fiction and storytelling developed at the age of thirteen when she stumbled upon her first urban fiction book.

Although too young to be reading such content, this had only been her second encounter seeing representation in literature and she decided to give telling her own stories a try, but lost the passion for it before graduating high school.

In college, TaJ began writing more frequently and rediscovered her love for creativity. Upon graduating from college, TaJ pursued her practical dream of working in the mental health field instead of going after her brave dream of writing Urban fiction, romance, and fantasy. It was only a a year later that Taj realized life was too short not to go after all your dreams and in February 2021 she released her debut novel, Hypothetically. Taj has since continued to release projects.
