Towanda M. Allen preys on the 'healing' community by representing herself as a healer, visionary, author, public speaker. She borrows money from them, and manipulates them into providing services to her for free. Services like website building, illustration, etc. She promises to pay them back but when it comes time to do so, she accuses them of some imaginary infraction of their friendship and then just disappears. The healing community tries to stay compassionate and 'do no harm' so Towanda is rarely reported for her behaviors and no one will call her out on it. Even if someone were to file a police report, it is doubtful any monetary recovery could be made.
She was involved with my company and her behavior became eratic. She began to make blatantly false accusations about our staff and services even when confronted with the physical evidence to the contrary. She continued to harass us afterward, threatening lawsuits etc.
Towanda told us she had been a nanny, real estate agent, and various other occupations. I did find a real estate by the name Towand Allen in PA where Towanda claimed she sold real estate. The Towanda that I found was an entirely different person altogether.
Towanda wrote a book for children and teens around personal growth which seems to be a contradiction to who she really is and that is fraudulent. She has her own radio show on blogtalk and is always sharing how wonderful she is and is changing the world.
Is obvious she is delusional, unfortunately she harms people deliberately and with intention. Then uses her cognitive dissonance to convince herself she has done nothing wrong.
Don't be sucked in, it will be a mistake and it could be a very expensive one.

Sorry I forgot to add, that I think the healing arts community needs to cut ties and dissassociate with Towanda M. Allen. She needs to be held accountable for taking advantage of people and taking money and not repaying it and not paying back rent she owes people. I do not know if its worth suing her, getting a lein placed against her and submitting it to her " publisher " or anyone who pays her.... garnishment of some sort. An attorney may be able to advise how to collect from someone who claims to be a published author, radio host, speaker, whatever. She will keep conning people. She also had a Go Fund Me at one point and not one dime was donated, and with good reason. She needs to pay the 71 yr old woman she owes over 3k to and there are others she owes money too. Report any campaign that she has and contact Go Fund Me, maybe you all can recover something.

She also "borrowed" money from a 71 yr old woman on here and didnt repay anything. People need to require Towanda to show her SS card, get her SSN and write off all of the money youve given Towanda and write it off as charity so you can let the IRS deal with her. I doubt she has claimed unpaid loans as income or even filed any taxes. This elderly woman posted her experience with Towanda, there are atleast two or three add'l rip off reports on Towanda Allen. Shame on Towanda for taking advantage of people and taking hard-earned money. She is a criminal I agree. She cant keep a job and she's a vagrant (someone who moves around alot)
There is no point in trying to recover any money as she has no gainful employment, no assets, nothing but I think she is a con-artist and the Attorney General needs to look at her practices. Do NOT give her money for any reason, do NOT loan her money-you wont get it back, and do NOT allow her to move in or stay with you. Small world, she inquired on a room for rent with a co-worker of mine, told her she had no money but her sister would pay her rent in a week or two. My co worker told her no, and she didnt get good vibes from her anyhow. "Be blessed, be blessed." My co worker also said she was warned by someone at the college not to rent to her, she dodged a bullet.
Towanda has been doing this s**t for years and it will not stop....there are LOTS of people she has screwed over in Chandler, Gilbert, Tempe and there may be some people out of state too. There is a difference between 'needing a little help' and constantly taking advantage of nice people. You do NOT tell people you will pay them back and dont. Towanda is absolutely delusional and is a scammer and a con-artist. She should not be a life coach or writing any books of the sort. She is a perpetual failure at almost everything and is still conning people! I am so glad I dont live like her. I have a nice home, a good job ive been at for years, and other sorts of income I earn and work hard for. Such a good feeling, Towanda will never know that. Thank God she doesnt have kids, because it's a generational thing.

Isn't it interesting that the only people who have an issue with me happened to share a home. I am very appreciative of any assistance and kindness others have shown me in a time of need. Everyone suffers a hardship at one time or another and I am grateful for help provided during my hard times. I do what I can to assist others and will continue to do so. Let's all stay blessed and let misunderstanding be put to rest.
