Natassja “Tasja” Charisse

Born in Charleston, South Carolina but raised in The Bronx, NY, Natassja Charisse is the only daughter and eldest child to Minister Betty Allen & Apostle Toney Allen.

Growing up with music in her blood she began singing at 2 in the children’s choir, then at 9 the Gospel Ensemble at the St. Paul’s Tabernacle City of Light Ministries Church under the leadership of the Late Bishop John L. Smith Sr. . When searching for a high school to attend she only picked one and was determined to go there. She auditioned and made it into The Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music and Art & Performing Arts as a vocal major and graduated in 2003.

Natassja, better known as Tasja pursued a passion of hers a few years after graduating high school by attending the Learning Institute for Beauty Sciences studying Cosmetology. There she graduated in 2006.

Natassja has been through great trials and tribulations but has persevered and has overcome them all by the grace and strength from God. Some of those events have allowed her to turn her test into testimonies and thus the inception of No More Secrets Inc.

No More Secrets is a non profit organization dealing with the topic of domestic violence in the church. The mission is to help those who feel they have lost their voice due to any type of abuse. This organization conducts forums, workshops and will soon be conducting support groups for survivors. 

She is also the Owner, CEO and Lead Alchemist of Naturally Classy Adornments LLC, a company specializing in natural skin care, hair care and herbal medicine. As a certified Herbalist, she believes in “Taking What God Made, to Help Heal Who God Made.”

In 2023, she started Naturally Classy Consulting LLC, a business consulting company.  This company was birthed to assist those in “Turning their expensive hobbies into legitimate businesses.”

Lastly, in June of 2025, she graduated Cum Laude with her Associates Degree in Business from the University of Phoenix and will pursue her Bachelors in Business Management with a certification in Small Business/ Entrepreneurship.
