Annette Don Martin
Pageantry Director, Ten Flags North New Jersey
“Tinah Marie has a gift. The first time I saw her move with congregational banners, it was so different from anything I had ever seen. She taught our women practical, safe, effective techniques that we still use and pass on years later. She is personable, prepared, and knows her craft. Whether for a small group or a large event, she brings the same energy, impact, and excellence”
Eagle Betty Kaiser
Pageantry Director, Eagles International Training Institute (EITI)
“Tinah took my flags training through Eagles International Training Institute and stood out immediately. She used banners in a unique, free-flowing way, with movements I had not seen anyone else do. I later invited her to teach in my two-day workshop in Alabama because of her skill, her experience, and her ability to show others how to use banners safely, confidently, and with freedom.”

‘Your work is transformative and inspirational. It taps into spaces within us that are often dormant, in a non-invasive, non-conforming way. Your artistry and performance in non-traditional environments is special and different. It spreads your message to people who may not normally attend formal worship, making it accessible to all."
Diane Boyd
Pageantry Director, St. James AME Church, Newark, NJ
“As a result of working with Tinah, I now have more connection with the congregation and greater awareness of what is happening around me when I banner. Before working with her, I focused mostly on the banner itself. I only waved the banner, but learned how to incorporate more energy through my body to create greater connection. Now, I’m also more aware of the people, the space, and the energy around me, and that gets incorporated into the bannering.”
