Tina Alexis Allen is an actor. In this episode, she plays the character of her father, who she also plays in her one-person play Secrets of a Holy Father. Sir John was born in England, lied about his age to join the Merchant Marines, was an officer in the British Army stationed in Palestine, moved to the states, and started a Catholic Travel Agency. He also was knighted by the Pope, had a Vatican passport, traveled about 500,000 miles a year from the late 50s through the 70s, and lived most of his adult life in Chevy Chase, Maryland. He also had 13 children and lived at least one double life. Tina Alexis Allen is also a playwright and author. She grew up the youngest of 13 in a Catholic family in Chevy Chase Maryland. After accepting a basketball scholarship to the University of Maryland, she earned an MBA in marketing and moved to New York, where she spent weekends at Broadway shows and after some soul searching started to pursue acting. Her break out role was in the 2016 WGN hit series Outsiders, a clash-of-cultures drama rooted in coal mining Kentucky. Now, she is known for playing a diversity of roles, and were nominated for a GLAAD award for her work in The Break-Up Notebook. Celebrated acting coach Susan Batson called her “a true chameleon.” She wrote and performed the critically acclaimed solo show, Secrets of a Holy Father in which she played her own father, Sir John, an Englishman who had been knighted by the Pope. The play explores betrayal, redemption and forgiveness through her father's secretive double life. She is also co-founder of Gina Raphaela Jewelry, which turns deconstructed bullets into daring necklaces, rings and bracelets. The company donates proceeds to non-profit organizations that stand for peace. Lastly, her book, Hiding Out: A Memoir of Drugs, Deception and Double Lives, builds on the story of her play, and further unravels the relationship with her formidable father, this time from her point of view. The book hinges on a moment in which a secret she'd harbored for years is revealed to her father; that she liked girls. But, instead of dragging her to a priest, her father shockingly says that he too, is gay. Through wild, clandestine escapades, her discover that this is not Sir John's only significant deception. The Washington Post said of the book, that she packaged grit and grime into glistening prose and that her twisted mystery is a ‘can't-put-down' read. And of the book, Tina herself said, “there is no shame in telling the truth.” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/cutting-for-sign/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/cutting-for-sign/support

Tina Alexis Allen, in 2018,  brought to us a very compelling memoir that focuses on how religiously dysfunctional homes can create so much pain, and set vulnerable individuals on paths of self-destruction.  Really. This is a powerful piece. Listen. Please.

Tina Alexis Allen's book is not about women in the workplace. It's about her life, growing up with an authoritarian, staunchly Catholic father who one day acknowledges he knows about her relationship with a woman and shares his own background with her as a gay man, leading a double life. The story is full of intrigue, secrets, Tina's road to recovery from sexual abuse, and so much more. So no - it's not a business book or even meant as guidance for women dealing with work-related issues. But it is about the power of standing up for ourselves. And telling our true stories, and using our voices to own our ambitions. It's about how much we accept when we don't know better and how we hide ourselves, our abilities and what we have to offer in the process. And so, it's extremely relevant for working women. We talk about all of this and more in this episode! Follow on Instagram: www.instagram.com/beambitiousforher Follow on Twitter: www.twitter.com/beambitious4her

Actress and playwright Tina Alexis Allen's audacious memoir, HIDING OUT: A Memoir of Drugs, Deception, and Double Lives (Dey Street Books, On Sale: 2/20/2018, ISBN: 9780062565679) unravels her privileged suburban upbringing as shaped by her formidable father—a man whose deep Catholic faith and dedication to his large family hid his true nature and a life defined by deep secrets and dangerous lies.  Imagine it—the moment many closeted young adults dread—when your stern, devoutly Catholic father discovers you are gay. The youngest of thirteen children, Tina Alexis Allen grew up in 1980s suburban Maryland in a house ruled by her father, Sir John, an imposing, British-born authoritarian who had been knighted by the Pope. Sir John supported his large family running a successful travel agency that specialized in religious tours to the Holy Land and the Vatican for pious Catholics. But his daughter, Tina, was no sweet and innocent Catholic girl. A smart-mouthed high school basketball prodigy, she harbored a painful secret: she was attracted to girls. When Tina was eighteen her father uncovered the truth about her sexuality. But instead of dragging her to confession or the family priest, her father simply took her hand and said, "I buried my lover, Omar, in the war" making Tina his unlikely confidant and creating a clandestine bond that would evolve into become a web of secrets and lies. On this episode of She Rises, host Giovanna Capozza interviews Tina Alexis Allen. Tina explains why she chose to write her book now, and details her “she rises” moment. Once she understood herself, Tina was able to write and perform shows about herself. Tina is the youngest of 13 kids and grew up in a devoutly Catholic home. Tina explains her coming out to her father and her father’s big revelation. Giovanna and Tina discuss how relationships changed between Tina and her family when her dad became her confidant. There were more secrets going on in her family life that were not apparent to her. Tina’s father was travelling to Russia in the 1950’s and she starts to put the pieces together. Tina is still waiting for her father’s information to get released to the Secret Archives of the papacy. Tina talks about her writing process and how it unravelled. We have an obligation to see our parents as human beings. The point of the book is to give the reader a sense of freedom to put a mirror up to their own life. Tina talks about where she is now with her relationship to her faith. Tweetable Quotes: I asked myself “If I could be anything, what would I be?” and I gave myself permission to answer. Keeping secrets is intense, you’re hiding beneath the pressure of not being who you really are. Yes, we can see mistakes and learn from them, but it’s not our place to judge.

This started with them each acknowledging that they were gay, moved on to wild notes out doing poppers at all the gayest clubs of DC and ended with...well, you've got to read the book to find out.
