Tami Jackson (she/her/hers) is a Black American descendent of chattel slavery of generous height and size. A writer and Instructional Designer for The Winters Group, Inc, she has nearly fifteen years of experience in industries including sports/entertainment, advertising, real estate, and tech, with a penchant for justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion. She is a first-generation graduate with a bachelor of arts in Asian languages and culture and American studies from the University of Michigan and a master of arts in Black studies from The University of Texas at Austin. A frequent speaker, panelist, and mentor, Tami profoundly believes in the power and necessity of being one’s authentic self and retired from code-switching years ago. Tami is an enthusiastic blerd, gamer, dyslexic, cosplayer, boundary enforcer, and plus-sized fashionista. She don’t play about her nerd-centric media, Black American culture, sleep, ’70s Soul Music, ’90s R&B, and family—bio and chosen. Tami proudly hails from Detroit, Michigan, and rests her head begrudgingly in Austin, Texas.
