She has graced faith-based pulpits, corporate training rooms, college campuses and conference stages sharing her expertise, experience, and enthusiasm for helping people get unstuck and move forward in their life, health, business and ministry.

Her unique gift and ability as a speaker is one of humble beginnings. Born in North Philadelphia, commonly referred to as “the hood” and raised in an environment designed for failure, Tamika is no stranger to adversity. She is a two-time stroke survivor. She knows what it feels like to have everything going against your success yet muster up the strength to FIGHT until you Win! She calls that “Grit”.

Tamika inspires people from all walks of life to win no matter the odds stacked against them. She has always been a fighter and connects people to their potential.

Tamika is a Survivor and has a special place in her heart for helping women, especially avoid stroke and heart disease. She was active in assisting with getting the Sodium Warning Label Bill passed into law in her hometown of Philadelphia in 2018. She is a National Spokesperson and volunteer Ambassador for the American Heart Association. She currently serves as the American Heart Association’s Chair of the Legislative Policy Committee. Obesity and uncontrolled hypertension were factors in Tamika’s strokes and her focus is educating heart healthiness to women’s and children’s organizations using her Fat Girl 2 Glam Girl and Blood Pressure Buster programs. The self-proclaimed once “fat girl” has lost more than 80lbs and inspires others to make lifestyle changes to get in shape through healthy nutrition choices and exercise.

Tamika is the Author of “Change Your Mind, Change Your Waistline” and Co-Author of “The Woman Behind the Mask”. Both can be found on Amazon. She also Co-Authored “Complicated Alliances” which will be available in April 2021 and is writing her second book in the “Change Your Mind” Series titled “Change Your Mind, Change Your Bottom Line” which will also be released this Spring. 

On this episode Tamika talks about:
