MEET THE IWD SPEAKER: Style expert and entrepreneur, Tanjuria Willis has wrestled with the concept of the word, expert, and how it has been defined or described over the years. Her journey to both becoming and embracing being considered a fashion expert is, to say the least, unconventional.

With over three decades of going against the grain as an Electrical Engineering, Technologist turned Magazine Publisher, Personal Stylist, Fashion Show Curator and Producer, Entrepreneur, real-life, in-the-trenches business experience, and most importantly wife and mother, she now understands the journey, for some, is asymmetrical.

In 2002 and with nothing more than belief and determination, Willis (nee Anderson) created Connect Magazine, a lifestyle publication with distribution in Metro Atlanta and via mail subscription. In 2014, she developed eKlozet Luxury Consignment, with the vision of helping and affording women the ability to define and develop their style to feel good both inside and out. She understood as well the impact gently used luxury consignment could have on the carbon footprint of our environment. An earth friendly, sustainable fashion company was born.

Treat your energy like 💰cash. Budget it, save it, find ways to increase it, invest it where you know you’ll get a return. When you place value on your energy like you do currency, you will be surprised by how much changes in your reality. Our energy IS our true currency. Money is just symbolic for exchange of energy. This is why you “pay” attention.
