Tasiana Auguste was born in Brooklyn, NY on December 8, 1989 to Carole and Lincol Auguste. She was bold and decisive right from the start. By age 5, Tasiana had decided she would be a lawyer and she never lost sight of that goal.

She started her formidable educational career in grade school at Our Lady of Refuge School before moving on to Murry Bergtraum High School for Business Careers. Tasiana then completed her undergraduate studies with a Bachelor’s in Politics at New York University. In 2013, she reached the goal she had set her mind to so many years before: graduating from Columbia Law School with her Juris Doctorate degree.

Tasiana was serious about meeting her goals, but she also made sure those around her were supported to do the same. Tasiana mentored her high school’s mock trial team until she started law school, an investment driven by her passion for law and looking out for others.

Tasiana’s love of the law stemmed from her strong personal desire for justice and fairness. She cared about leaving the world a better place and supported the work of several nonprofit organizations. She also earned a black belt in taekwondo learning along the way, through her trademark dedication, how to protect herself and others.

She followed the adage, “Work hard, play hard,” never forgetting to live life for herself. Tasiana loved to travel, delighting in the adventure of a new place to go, new foods to try, and making memories with loved ones.

No trip for her would have been complete without visiting the local historical sites and the best restaurants for brunch and bellinis. Before her untimely passing, she was planning to take a two-week trip to Europe, visiting Scotland and Monaco for the first time and taking a return trip to the United Kingdom.

A great lover of the arts, Tasiana was a fantasy series enthusiast and avid cosplayer. She had a deep passion for the worlds of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Game of Thrones, among others. As a first-year law student, Tasiana brought together her loves of law and adventure films when she held a legal internship at Marvel.

Tasiana and her sister Marsha shared an appreciation for Broadway musicals, developing in their adulthood a tradition of attending shows together. Among the dozens of shows they saw together, some of Tasiana’s favorites were Phantom of the Opera, Hamilton, Moulin Rouge, and The Lion King. Marsha and Tasiana’s relationship went beyond sisterhood. They were everything to each other, from partners in crime to adventure buddies to best friends.

Tasiana’s transition follows that of her father Lincol, who passed away in September 2021. Besides her sister Marsha, Tasiana is survived by her mother Carole, her sister Judy, her nephew Matthew and countless extended family. Tasiana also enjoyed relationships with many friends, former classmates and coworkers. Though her sudden death has left her beloveds devastated, we carry the memory of our legal superhero in our hearts with love.
