Tinisha Avay was born in Cleveland, OH and raised throughout her school age through-out her young adult years in New Jersey by her parents.
"IB is a group who loves the Lord and isn't ashamed to express it. These women are inspiring, compassionate and most of all, ladies to whom you can go to with any problem you have and the prayers are going up! I've been greatly blessed to know the director, Roberta Cykon and to call her friend! Although I have been IB's Inspiring Woman, it is she who has inspired me to do more of God's work. It has been an honor to be part of such a fantastic group and I will always cherish those I've met through IB!"
