Meet the dynamic force that is Tenisha Godfrey, born and bred on the  streets of Cleveland’s east side, with a spirit as fierce as the city itself. Raised by her resilient mother and her wise grandmother, Tenisha’s journey was woven with threads of love and family that became her steadfast anchors through life’s storms.

From humble beginnings on 85th off Superior, Tenisha’s dreams reached far beyond her neighborhood skyline. Even as a young girl, she harbored ambitions of fame, penning letters to Whitney Houston’s fan club in hopes of claiming her as a godmother and igniting her path to stardom. Despite the challenges of being neither wealthy nor adorned in designer labels, she possessed the richest treasures: love and kinship.

Teenage years brought their own trials, from enduring the sting of bullying to navigating the uncharted waters of motherhood at just 15. Yet, buoyed by the unwavering support of her family, Tenisha flourished. With her mother’s financial stability and a community rallying behind her, she faced each hurdle with resilience and grace, her infectious personality drawing others to her.

Then came the unexpected twist that catapulted her into the spotlight: a viral video featuring a local deli in Cleveland. Overnight, Tenisha became a household name, for her infectious catchphrase, “y’all better come up here and get one of these,” imprinting itself on the cultural landscape. From influencer to actress, singer to rapper, Tenisha’s talents know no bounds, and at 41, she’s only just begun.

Single and thriving, Tenisha remains eternally grateful to her supporters who have propelled her to greatness. With boundless energy and a spirit as indomitable as the city that raised her, she forges ahead, blazing trails and leaving an indelible mark on the world. Watch this space—there’s plenty more where that came from.
