Welcome to tbytina
Hi! I’m Tina, a native of Minnesota and the sole creator of TbyTina. On my blog, I aim to inspire others through my journey of self-growth and showcase my life abroad. Here, you’ll find stories about a young African American woman who decided to leave the U.S. and choose herself. After spending nearly a decade in Germany, I have grown, healed, and experienced more joy than I ever expected. Now, I want to take you along for the ride with me.
Jesus is at the center of everything I do. He loves you, and so do I.

Stories, strength, and becoming
Tina
