About Me

Welcome! My name is Tanaye White and I am an accomplished social media storyteller. Social media is not just about what you want to share with your audience, but what your audience expects to learn. And I always keep that in mind. By measuring KPIs to determine social media strategies, harnessing brand voice, and keeping a keen eye on audience engagements, I have been able to have a successful career as a social media specialist for small businesses, nonprofits, federal agencies, and Fortune 500 companies.

Take a look at my professional portfolio, below, to see some of the work I have developed over the past six years. If you have any questions or would like to setup a call to chat more about my communications experience, shoot me an email at wtanaye@gmail.com or send a message via LinkedIn.
