The Global Achievers Issue 1/2020 | Page 35

Known as “the midwife to creatives”, Tamara AshLemon is an artist and a social change agent who’s consumed with revealing beauty amidst pain and struggle as a doorway to expression, connection and personal freedom.

She believes our break downs are in fact our greatest opportunities and that the areas of our lives where we shrink and shame hold the keys to our greatest capacities to expand and relate from love.

Her obsession in finding beauty amidst struggle has not only been a vocation but a personal journey as her own life has been rich with adversity and “the unexpected”.

Tamara’s teachings, art and dialogue are intimate, raw and confronting and are guaranteed to leave you with deep questions and a desire for more - always playing on the edge in her expressions and challenging you to find your own.

Her life has always focused on service across her spanning capacities. A citizen to both America and South Africa, Tamara has traveled, worked and studied in diverse environments spanning Africa, Europe, the Middle East and America - specializing is grass-roots community development, conflict resolution and micro-business dvpt.

Recently repatriated to America, Tamara has committed her entire focus to the journey of expression. Tamara believes that the greatest impact we can make in this world is through each individual reclaiming their worth and taking a place at the table - that we each have an essential role and voice. Starting here with you.

If you are unable to catch Tamara on the road at speaking events and in-person programs - she has several online programs available and a gold chest of free content on her social sites.

Apart from her personal projects and current offerings, her upcoming projects to watch for this year, are: Heart Storm: the Creative’s Anatomy - a book to guide the inner world of Creatives; Committed Creators - a membership community for Creatives to bring their visions to life; Your Creation - 1 on 1 coaching for creatives to blow up their visions and bring them to life.
