Total Focus Podcast E27 With Teanna Tang

Guest of the weekTeanna TangMiss Maryland East Coast USA 2019I’m a first generation, Chinese-American studying animal sciences at the University of Maryland. in my free time, I enjoy modeling, dancing, photography, playing piano and learning about different cultures. Out of all these hobbies, however, dancing is my favorite. I started dancing ballet, tap, jazz, and traditional Chinese dance at the age of 4. In college, I was able to join a competitive hiphop dance team, Phunktions, which helped me break out of my comfort zone, as well as become a more diverse dancer. I have always grown up in a competitive setting, which has caused me to always work on my weaknesses. Growing up, one of my weaknesses was being extremely shy. I was terrified of public speaking and would never be the one to volunteer during class. Therefore, pageantry was something that I thought would help me overcome this issue, and it sure did! I never would have thought I would be capable of speaking in front of hundreds of people, let alone winning such an amazing title. As Miss Maryland East Coast USA, I hope to inspire other young individuals to be more accepting of all the cultures around them, and most importantly, to be proud of where they came from.Host of the showPaul A.
