Tiffany Elle Burgess is an accomplished actress hailing from Atlanta, who has worked hard to overcome her own inhibitions and fears as a naturally introverted person. Born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, Tiffany was always encouraged by her mother, Betty Burgess, her father, and brothers to follow her dreams and pursue her goals. After taking her first steps into acting in 2019, Tiffany began training with Dewayne Boyd's Premier Actors Network in Atlanta, GA.

According to Tiffany, the support and encouragement of her acting peers was instrumental in helping her believe in herself and her talents. After being spotted at a showcase, she was signed on with The Peoples Store Network, and has since appeared in a range of popular shows and movies, including The Wonder Years, Glitter Ain't Gold, and The Color Purple.

In addition to her acting work, Tiffany is also an accomplished author, having published several books including Skin Like Mine, Decisions, Decisions, and Spencer's Special Gift. Tiffany admits that as a perfectionist, it has taken a great deal of courage and faith to pursue a career in acting, but the rewards have more than made up for any fears or doubts she had to overcome along the way.

One of Tiffany's supporters in the acting community is Yusuf Thomas, who stars in 50 Cent's hit series BMF, and portrayed Tiffany's on-screen son in the short film Family Over Everything. Yusuf says, “Tiffany is a true blessing to work with, as she brings characters to life like a seasoned veteran”. He was thrilled to see her in The Color Purple and believes that many more exciting roles await her in the future.

As for Tiffany herself, she says “anyone who may be doubting themselves or feeling held back by their own fears to step out on faith and trust the path ahead”. By getting out of your own head and believing in yourself, she says, anyone can achieve great things.
