Tess says she smiled for hours after being informed of her Cyber Girl of the Month status. “Actually,” she says, “the grin is still there! It’s so heart-warming to know I have... people around the world rooting for me.” She’s been working toward her goal of creating art that people can relate and respond to, appearing in music videos for Black Eyed Peas, The Fray and the movie Fame. “Whether it be acting, dancing or teaching people to connect with their mind, body and self, I want people to smile.”
