Tenaja Ansar Seelowe has been a member of the Second Life community since May 2008. She was a successful SL estate owner & broker as the owner of Black Rose Estates which operated seven commercial and residential sims for more than seven years. Although she no longer operates Black Rose Estates, she continues to assist her husband in the operation of his own SL estate business.
She married her heart, SchMoke Seelowe, in October of 2015. Although they had known each other since very early in her Second Life through their great mutual friend and Tenaja's mentor, Honey Franizzi, it wasn't until SchMoke acquired KHNY Honey103 in 2014 that they discovered deep compatibility, chemistry, and love that continues to grow to this day. Their daughter, Plush Sanchez Seelowe, is an entrepreneurial powerhouse in her own right and the pride of her parents' lives.
Tenaja currently holds the position of CEO of Macchiato Media, which owns and operates five Second Life based radio stations as well as radio media production and streaming components. She also serves as an on-air personality for Macchiato Media, as DJ Black Rose and enjoys playing contemporary R&B, Neo-Soul and slow jams and sharing her love of music with listeners from all around the world. She has a very eclectic musical taste and enjoys listening to almost anything from Classical to Gospel and Alternative to Rap.
Tenaja is also a founding member of Phi Nu Epsilon SL Sorority and currently holds the position of President, which she has held for several years. She is proud that, although many people do not know about PNE, those who do, know that it is an organization that has done a great deal to uplift and empower women to love themselves and cherish their individuality.
Tenaja graduated from Glam Couture's Model Academy and began her professional modeling career as a model for Genesis Model Agency in 2017. She loves walking the runway and showing the world that thick women of color have a lot to bring to the world of fashion.
Those who work closely with Tenaja, know that she is very much about her business but that she also understands the importance of downtime and relaxation. Her SL has had its ups and downs, heartbreaks, failures, successes, and joys but thus far she has overcome every obstacle that has presented itself and always remains steadfast in her belief that as long as she remains true to herself and does her best, everything will be as it should be in the end.
Long Live the Queen Tenaja! Our President of Queen Lace.
Sole’ Starr was established in Second Life since June 2006. She since then started establishing her name to become one of the biggest “stars” in Secondlife, hence, why she named herself as such. She came to SL with her internet family for TSO and to learn to build, yet she learned that a little later in her SL. Like the sun she starting shining bright and beginning her quest as a model and hostess in various club venues around the grid. By hosting for different DJs she had the desire to show her passion for music and was given the opportunity with one of the first urban radio stations on the grid, “Hitmix 96” to create one of the first radio talk shows in SL called “Dear Momma Sole” and displayed her love for old skool R&B and soul music as a DJ. Sole’ also was one of the founding members to create one of the first roleplay sorority in second life named “Alpha Kappa Prestarlon” which was established in 2008. After, a short break she came back and started managing DJs to add to her resume’. She was the manager for a short time with South I radio and DJ Soopa Uglee. With that experience, she started showcasing her love for fashion and started managing a couple of the then-popular ladies fashion stores and shopping events.
With that experience she was asked by her late best friend, The Sultry Story Teller Songstress, Miss Diva Stone, to manage her singing career on Second Life. With all the networking and meeting new people with Miss Diva, she met other live performers such as Ambrosia Kamala, The Fabulous Adusay “Say” Imamu and Sultry Songbird Jada Luv. With her new team and family, she was advised it was the time to create her management company, Soul Star Entertainment Company. After a lot of hard work from the SSE family, they acquired live performers, such as the Queen of Blues, Ladi Java DeVine. Also gave newcomers Keke Blu & Miss Michi Snow, their debuts to the music scene here in second life. Along with the live performers, SSE has two of the best female DJs on the grid, DJ Rebel & DJ Vendetta. And of course, we cannot forget the “Famous” spoken word artist, DP Xue-Eyes. To help out with the award-winning and many accolades of these performers has received we have, Melissa Naimarc and Tyesia Xevious, as our talent managers.
With all the accomplishments Sole’ has made in Second Life, she first tries to be a supportive, loyal and loving friend, sister, daughter, granddaughter, and mother to her SL family that she adores. Sole’ will be often described as a “spoiled brat” and sometimes over-protective and domineering, which is a part of her Scorpion personality and her way into showing her love for the people in her life and the goals she reaches for, it’s all or nothing with her and she goes for it with full force and passionately. And that is what makes Sole’ Starr–Blitz a Queen…
