I first connected with Tressa as a mentee in her Write & Publish Like a Pro class, and had no intentions to sign up as a VIP when it ended. But after experiencing the value she adds to my life, I joined, and haven’t regretted it for one moment. Tressa gives her all, and her presence has a glow, even over the phone. Being a VIP pays me far more than I pay her!

I connected with Tressa back in 2016, after praying for a mentor who would help catapult me into my purpose.  A mentor who was able to help me become an author, as I had envisioned.  Soon after praying that prayer, I saw her social media post which encouraged persons to follow her if they were interested in publishing a book.  I signed up for her free call, and I've been with her ever since.  That's one of the best decisions I ever made.  Because of her expertise and leadership, I am now a self- published author of my first book "From Trauma to Transformation: All Things New!"  Tressa, you are my gift from God!

Tressa “Azarel” Smallwood has truly blessed me with her teachings, encouragement and motivation; I am so blessed to have connected with her and the VIP Club. If it weren’t for her course, “Write and Publish Like a Pro,” I would not have finished my first book “Just Being Me”. Her VIP Club has connected me with so many amazing people, from authors and writers to film and TV producers and directors.  As a mentee, I can say that Tressa has brought out the gift of writing in me and that I not only write books but know how to write TV bibles and movie scripts.  Tressa speaks from her heart, keeps it real, cares about helping others and is definite a Diamond in the rough.

Tressa is God Sent

I started writing my book in 2007. I didn't know the first thing about publishing a book. By 2017, I still didn't have a finished manuscript. I was completely stuck, frustrated, and ready to give up. I signed up for Tressa's Write Like a Pro program, and literally within four months I had a completed manuscript. Not only is Tressa extremely knowledgeable and experienced with writing and publishing books, but her sincere, go-getter, don't give me no excuses attitude helps motivate and encourage people to not only complete the task at hand, but to give it your all, and leave nothing behind. I am truly grateful for her mentor-ship. I have discovered a creative side in me that i didn't know existed, and with Tressa by my side, I know the sky is the limit in terms of where this talent will take me. Thank you!!!!

I started working with Tressa a few years ago when I took her screenwriting class. Then last year, I signed on with her mentor-ship program and became a premium VIP member in October.

I have to say, working with Tressa, I have grown a lot as a writer and a screenwriter. Tressa is a natural teacher so every time she speaks, whether in your one-on-one or in a group setting, she drops gems and knowledge. Even though I am not a first time author, I learned so much from Tressa on publishing my latest book on the business side and the marketing side. I appreciate the additional publishing tips and business advice provided.

As a mentor, Tressa will hold you accountable for setting and meeting your goals while also teaching you about building your brand and forcing you to step outside of your comfort zone.  I'm extremely grateful for the doors she has opened for me by introducing me to TV  executives where I have been able to pitch my scripts.  Over the past year, I have gotten closer to meeting my screenwriting goals and I know it's because of Tressa.

Kudos to Tressa for being able to juggle her massive schedule and personal workload while pouring into so many others looking to level up!

Lex the Exec, a hard working Momprenuer here who thought she had it all together. Great ideas, even goals sat for years by standing in my own way. In 2017 I made a life changing decision….. with the beast mode, constant motivation, and genuine skilled support of the best mentor any one could ask for. Tressa really turned up the heat when it came down to “getting it done”. Providing the tools and know how, there was no way I was turning back. I am forever grateful to be apart of such an amazing and powerful group that helps and support one another. Sincerely mother, business owner, momager and children’s author, more accolades to come. VIPs rock!!
