Tier’a V. Berry, a proud New Yorker born and raised in Rochdale Village, Queens. With a deep passion for working with children and helping families, Tier’a’s journey in youth development began at a young age. Initially aspiring to be a teacher, she discovered her true calling while working at a community program in The Bronx.  This amazing experience opened her eyes to endless possibilities. Embracing her role as a community leader in The South Bronx, Tier’a accumulated over 15 years of experience in youth development, equipping her with invaluable skills, knowledge, and a genuine love for serving the community.

In the face of a life-altering experience that impacted her family, Tier’a found herself trying to figure out life on a new path in her journey. With the heaviness of losing her job, a separation from a long, lifetime relationship and seeming to have to pick up the pieces, she was fueled by determination and a desire to not lose it all.
Waking up in a new chapter full of encouragement and support she recognized her passion and curiosity in digital marketing. Currently serving as Lead Creative & Branding, LeVian Diamond with The Diamond Writers.

Along her journey, Tier’a has also embraced a career as an author and public speaker, specifically as an Epilepsy Awareness Advocate and Inspiration Speaker. Also selling self designed and published multi purpose notebooks on Amazon to help support daily living for the family. 

In 2023, I made the brave decision to pursue my passion for writing and embark on my healing journey. Through becoming part of an empowering all-female community, my life has undergone a beautiful transformation. The Diamond Writers have supported me in my growth and recognizing the autonomy that I have over who I am. I have contributed to their latest release "She Is" and anticipate the release of "Audacity". Presently, I am confidently striding forward, in a pursuit to fully be aligned with my life’s purpose.
