We had the good fortune of connecting with Tanisha Mackin and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tanisha, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
The loss of my husband was a life-altering event. Seeking solace, I poured my heart into writing a book. To my surprise, it resonated with many. This experience sparked a passion to help others share their stories and find healing through the written word.

As a single parent, I knew I needed a career that offered flexibility while allowing me to be present for my children. Founding my own publishing company, Tanisha Mackin Publishing, LLC, fulfilled both these needs. It also allowed me to combine my love of writing with my entrepreneurial spirit.

Today, my company empowers individuals to share their stories through writing and connecting with the world.

What should our readers know about your business?
The loss of my husband was a defining moment. Seeking solace, I found healing in both writing and travel. I had a passion to empower individuals to share their unique stories and gain confidence in their voices. This journey sparked my business, Tanisha Mackin Publishing, LLC, and Tanisha’s Traveling Bag was born through traveling and inspiring others to travel and see the world.

The road wasn’t always easy. Building a business comes with its share of challenges. Finding partnerships and sponsorships initially presented hurdles, but I persevered. Through consistent writing, self-promotion, and a willingness to adapt, I learned to navigate those obstacles.

Today, Tanisha Mackin Publishing, LLC and Tanisha’s Traveling Bag is a thriving platform, inspiring others to find healing and adventure through storytelling.
