The Owner & The Brand

Dr. Tajanae Barnes is an English professor and director of Film Studies in Oklahoma City, OK. Tajanae completed her B.A. and M.A. at North Carolina A&T State University in English and English/African American Literature, respectively. She then went on to obtain her PhD in English from University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Dr. Barnes graduated UNLV in 2021 and began full-time professor life shortly after.

Through her years of schooling and being an educator, Tajanae has fostered a knack for copyediting and content development. Thus, The Brilliance Brand was born.

The Brilliance Brand began in 2015 as a resume writing service while Tajanae was in graduate school at North Carolina A&T State University. In realizing her love for crafting, Tajanae combined her crafts with her writing and developed what came to be known as Brilliance by Tajanae. Over the years, she has taken small steps forward to discover the brands’ true voice and identity.

Now, after years of practice and honing her skills, Tajanae has cultivated a steadily growing social media management and copyediting brand. Tajanae focuses on making sure every client feels seen and valued in their writing and content. Additionally, Tajanae still takes time to work on her crafts through the development of stickers, apparel, and dream catchers.
