Having earned a minor in Dance Theatre from Louisiana State University, she continued education through Alvin Ailey Extension, Joffrey Ballet, Broadway Dance Center and The Katherine Dunham Institute. She began studying burlesque at Brown Girls Burlesque’s Broad Squad Institute and trained by burlesque icon, Perle Noire, as well as a founding member of the award-winning House of Noire.

Inspired by her art works on stage, Tutu also founded the holistic wellness company, Rites of Wellness, where she believes in intentional growth and healing, and celebrating the joy found within that journey.
