#122 Tarah-Lynn Saint-Elien

Tarah-Lynn Saint-Elien is a fierce and favored fashionista passionate about encouraging, empowering and equipping women to fully grasp their worth in Christ. Inspired by Ephesians 6's message about putting on the full armor of God, her award-winning brand, Adorned in Armor, preaches to properly uniform spiritually, mentally (and fashionably) to fight victoriously. After just one year of blogging, Adorned in Armor became the only American finalist for the Best International Fashion Blog in the 2014 Cosmopolitan UK Awards. It has been a source of inspiration since. By landing internships at Elle magazine and PBS, and by collaborating with brands such as Maybelline and BananaRepublic, Tarah-Lynn's work experience has catapulted her into becoming a Teen Vogue ""It Girl"" and later, a Teen Vogue fashion writer. A New Jersey native, she graduated summa cum laude from Rider University and earned her master's degree from Syracuse University. With two crowns under her belt (hey, Miss Black New Jersey), the Haitian-American beauty queen hosts Dressed for Battle podcast, has written for Teen Vogue, The Haitian Times and can run in heels like it's nobody's business! Most recently, Tarah-Lynn signed a three-book deal with Baker Publishing. Find Tarah-Lynn's first book, Claim Your Crown, available for preorder everywhere!
