  1. A tremendous choice; her Whitney M. Young Award acceptance talk at A-17 in NYC was awe-inspiring. And a fun fact: Tamara will be our 2nd consecutive Whitney M. Young Jr. Award winner (2017 – Detroit Collaborative/Dan Pitera) to keynote our convention.

  2. Is this Tamara Bull that had the TV show in 2008? Me and my mother would love to know.
    My mother always talks about how she likes Tamara Bull and her husband which was also featured on one of her TV show episodes.
