Today we’d like to introduce you to Tammy Taylor
Hi Tammy, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Hello, My name is Tammy D. Taylor. I am from Atlanta GA, a mother of 2 and grandmother of one. I am an Licensed Insurance Agent and entrepreneur. In addition I am an award winning full figured model, author, actress and advocate
In my younger years, I was a victim of domestic abuse and I suffered from depression anxiety and self loathing as a result. It took me almost 30 years to realize that I was never to blame, and gain my strength to tell my story as a Survivor!!
One of my most proud moments is the release of A Love Story Vol 2: My Journey to Love. I had the amazing opportunity to co author this book with my chapter titled The Love I Found. This Chapter describes how I overcame domestic abuse , self loathing, depression and anxiety and found my purpose. This experience allowed me to come to terms with my past and find the courage to speak my truth. I now speak to women and I share my story with the hopes of empowering them to find the strength to comes to terms with their past and press forward to the future.
In finding my purpose I founded The Weight We Carry Women’s Initiative, Inc, A 501c3 Nonprofit Organization whose mission is to serve as a resource to empower women by helping them thrive professionally, economically and personally. We offer a wide variety of initiatives and programs that encourages women to actively pursue their aspirations. My dedication to empowering women was recognized by Bosses and Bossettas Awards as I was awarded for Advocacy for Women.
I have no regrets and I am not ashamed of what I have gone through because I know this all has prepared me for this moment. Its my calling to use my talents and influence to provide a path for women to become the best version of themselves regardless of circumstance.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
My biggest challenge is overcoming imposter syndrome. Because of my past I was filled with self doubt. I sometimes would self sabotage efforts because I didn’t think I deserved them. I have now more self confidence because I know I am walking in my purpose.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
Model, Actress, Author Advocate
