Thank You Tamika Williams for joining me on the BornToTalkRadioShow
Meet Tamika.
Tamika Williams is an Impact Builder, creative visionary, and advocate for women and girls who have experienced trauma. She helps individuals strengthen their emotional wellness, develop life skills, and build confidence so they can move forward with purpose. Born and raised in Washington, D.C., Tamika’s journey began with challenges that could have defined her. Labeled and underestimated as a child, she was once told she would never succeed. Instead, she transformed that narrative, becoming a high-achieving student who maintained a 3.85 GPA throughout high school and went on to earn both her Bachelor’s degree in Visual Communications from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County and a Master’s degree in Theological Studies from National Bible College.
Beautiful As I Am.
Tamika turned her personal transformation into a mission to help others. As an undergraduate student, she founded Beautiful As I Am, a nonprofit that equips girls and women with the tools and support they need to grow emotionally, socially, and spiritually. The organization has impacted lives through mentoring, literacy, outreach, and confidence-building programs, all rooted in the belief that every girl and woman deserves to be seen, heard, and empowered.
Tamika’s Takeaways.
“Building impact and creating positive change in our communities and in people’s lives is the key ingredient to growth. It’s easy to sit on the sidelines and point out what’s going wrong, but real strength comes when we choose to be the solution to the problems we see. Each of us carries something, whether it is a skill, a lesson, or an experience, that we can share to make our community stronger. When we give what we have, we help build the village we all need.”
In Closing.
In an extraordinary recognition of her unwavering commitment to community service and civic participation, Tamika was honored with the prestigious 2024 President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. Lifetime Achievement Award for her remarkable contributions that have significantly impacted communities across the nation.
Tamika sees herself as more than a leader. She is a builder of spaces where healing, growth, and purpose come together. Whether through her nonprofit work or her business ventures, her mission is clear—to help women and girls rise and to create communities where they are supported every step of the way.
