✨ What a Night! ✨

Last night was nothing short of magical. I’m so deeply honored to have been part of the FashionAFRICANA Gala, celebrating the artistry, elegance, and brilliance of Black women.

As the very first FashionAFRICANA cover model, standing on that stage more than twenty years later felt like a full-circle moment. I’ll never forget where it all began — those early shows in East Liberty.

To see how far this movement has come fills me with so much pride and gratitude.

Congratulations to Demeatria, Darnell, and the entire FashionAFRICANA team for another stunning celebration of culture, creativity, and community.

💫 Here’s to legacy, to beauty in all its forms, and to the next generation who will carry this vision even higher.

Thrilled to have been part of the National Coalition of Black Meeting Professionals Conference in Atlanta last week!

As a former CVB Destination Sales Professional (VisitPITTSBURGH - National Sales Director and Visit Cincy - Director of Multicultural Sales) and Certified Meeting Planner (CMP), leading a student session on ‘Mastering the Art of Professional Excellence’ was an absolute honor.

Grateful for the opportunity to connect, share insights, and contribute to the next generation of meeting professionals! 🌟

Reconnecting with professional friends made it even more special. Grateful for this opportunity and looking forward to next year!

Thank you to BDO Pittsburgh for having me!

"We had Tamara come and speak at our Business Development Training for our Managers, Directors and Partners. With client dinners and events becoming the norm again, it was great to have a refresher for our employees on etiquette. Tamara did a great job tailoring the information to the level of employee in the room, as well as to our standard business practices. Even our most tenured employees walked away with something new to think about when it came to etiquette and entertaining our clients. We will definitely be asking Tamara back again!"
