Our Founder’s Story

Author • Storyteller • Founder of the DopeCo Foundation

Tanjanique Hillis is a passionate author, storyteller, and community advocate from Seattle whose work is rooted in faith, healing, and purpose. As a single mother and founder of the DopeCo Foundation, she has dedicated her life to encouraging and uplifting individuals and families who may feel overlooked, unheard, or forgotten.

Through gospel-centered urban storytelling, Tanjanique uses real-life experiences, struggles, and moments of transformation to connect with readers in an authentic and meaningful way. Her writing speaks to the heart of everyday life—covering themes of healing, faith, perseverance, family, restoration, and purpose.

For Tanjanique, writing became more than creativity—it became therapy, ministry, and a calling.

Through her personal journey, she discovered the power words have to heal wounds, restore hope, and remind people that their story still matters. What began as a personal outlet grew into a mission to inspire others through honest storytelling and messages grounded in faith and compassion.

Her work is created for:

• Children seeking encouragement and confidence

• Families navigating life’s challenges

• Women searching for healing and strength

• Youth needing guidance, purpose, and hope

• Communities longing to feel seen, valued, and supported

As the founder of the DopeCo Foundation, Tanjanique extends her mission beyond books and storytelling by actively serving communities through outreach programs, school supply assistance, clothing initiatives, emotional support, and resources for individuals facing hardship.

Her purpose is simple yet powerful:

To remind people that healing is possible, purpose still exists, and no one is too far gone to be restored.

Through every book, outreach effort, and message shared, Tanjanique Hillis continues to encourage others to rise above their circumstances, embrace their worth, and walk confidently in their God-given purpose.
