Tonia 'Ms. Tee' Taylor

Tonia May Taylor was born and raised in Harlem in a two-parent household. Ms. Tee as her father affectionately began calling her at an early age became intrigued by Harlem's fast life lifestyle. Her dad was a very disciplined Jamaican man and her mother was a sweet, not so disciplinarian from the south. She was raised around good morals and work ethics. She was raised around celebrities like Kim Fields and Al Fann who put on shows in her old block on 133rd and 7th Avenue. 7th Avenue is where a lot of Harlem's Street Legends like Nicky Barnes hung out. Places like Smalls Paradise and Mr. B's were landmarks that you would see in the old movies like Super Fly and more modern movies like American Gangster. Although she was raised to be respectful and to take education seriously, she yearned for that popular street life; a life that she kept hidden from her parents. As she got older, Ms. Tee continued to involve herself with individuals that were very well known in the criminal world. That life led her into situations that almost ended her life on more than one occasion. In 2015 she decided to let us into her world. Her best-selling memoir "Harlem Heroin(e) has supporters from New York and as far as West Africa, Scotland and the UK. In March of 2019 she premiered her documentary, "Ms Tee" based off the best-seller and in 6 months, it hit 1 million views on YouTube. So far, it's over 2.5 million views and counting. Numbers don't lie. Ms. Tee's life mirrors the popular movie "Paid in Full" but coming from a female's perspective makes it much more compelling. Her supporters are now begging for the movie. In 2019 she played the role of Detective Tyson in a short film called "Until It Hits Home". In 2018 she consulted and worked with her friends Chris Brancato and Paul Eckstein on the TV hit "Godfather of Harlem" starring legendary actor Forest Whitaker. In 2021 she appeared in award winning documentarian Stanley Nelson's documentary "Crack" on Netflix. In Harlem Heroin(E) Ms. Tee gives a riveting account of life on the streets of Harlem in the 80's and 90's era. She is undeniably the Queen of storytelling.
