A Purpose Party is an experience designed to provide an intimate and comfortable setting that will allow you to relax, let down your guard and travel to a place of truth. Founders Tavy and CJay are intent on providing a unique, empowering experience that transforms your life!
Tavy’s journey to Purpose began when she realized that her life had been spent serving others, but she had done a terrible job at serving herself. From the outside one would assume that she had it all together but that was the furthest thing from the truth. Her life was completely out of balance. She felt stagnant, complacent and overwhelmed. Reaching this point made her realize how important faith, purpose and self-care were. Her friend Cenithia was going through a similar experience while living abroad. Tavy spoke at length with Cenithia about her self-evaluation and her work toward transformation.
Those conversations with Cenithia helped to birth the Purpose Party concept.
Tavy is North Carolina born and raised. A graduate of North Carolina A&T State University and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, part of her professional career has been in education and educational leadership. However, she has always been a creative spirit with a
passion for fashion, beauty, performance and film.
As a plus size model and actress, Tavy works to advocate for the representation of all body types in the industry. She believes in helping others through her spirit of servant leadership and works to support the efforts of
colleagues in the community.
Tavy enjoys working with women across the country through Purpose Parties and empowerment events. Her personal experiences have empowered her to help other women who are on their journey to finding their Purpose.
Cenithia Tice, EVOLVED into CJay through life and experience which we know is an excellent teacher. She is a country girl, born and raised in North Carolina, in the small city of Kinston. She is a veteran educator with over 15 years of education experience. During her time in education she wore many hats in the role of teacher, assistant principal and instructional coach. CJay has many talents and pursued her love of doing hair by becoming a licensed cosmetologist. For many years, she worked part-time doing hair and then took a step of faith to be a full-time cosmetologist. She enjoyed the creativity the cosmetology world allowed her to express.
After being in the salon full-time for close to two years, she received the opportunity to teach abroad…………….and this is where her EVOLUTION began.
While living in the United Arab of Emirates, Cenithia was afforded personal time to focus on important components of her life such as, building her relationship with God, honing in on her practice of mindfulness and taking care of her overall health. While in the UAE, CJay took interest in working out and joined forces with others to create a community of health living. She participated in the Dubai Muscle Beach Fitness Fashion Show in the bikini category and was also won 1st place in the Sports and Fitness category in the Women’s Fit Show. On this journey, her health coach challenged her to plan an event that would bring people together for a joyous time and to offer healthy options during their fellowship. The first event was a gathering of like-minded women, taking part in meaningful activities and partaking in healthy foods. The energy throughout the event was positive and uplifting, so much, that the ladies wanted to get together once a month. They were eager to continue participating in activities that provided encouragement from other women that experienced the same challenges. With that in mind, CJay designed hands-on and interactive activities that helped participants work towards finding purpose in their life, finding happiness and achieving their goals.
CJay wanted to bring this experience back to the US, now called Purpose Parties to continue impacting the lives of women and helping them live their life on purpose. She is the co-author to the eBook entitled Preparing for Your Purpose in 7 Days. CJay is a licensed Holistic Health and Wellness Coach and has a certification in Mindfulness.
CJay enjoys spending time with family, socializing with friends and traveling the world.
