Tamara Simmons

Fan Family Foundation Tamara Simmons Nonprofit New York Pathway to College and Careers

Fan Family has taught me many things about life, education, self-respect, and the importance of giving back. Fan Family made me understand that everything starts from the bottom, the foundation is the most important aspect of any organization. Everyone is important, every fan counts, every one plays a role in the big picture from the CEO to the receptionist to the mail clerk. Working with Omoyele and Fan Family i've learned that there's always time to give back and help someone reach their goals, just as someone else helped you reach yours. We are one. I am currently working as a personal assistant to Sal & Co's top artist "Belly". I coordinate video shoots and work closely with the team at Roc Nation on all marketing initiatives including touring, road manager, and sample clearances. I am one of the few young women in my profession and it's all because of Fan Family.

I started my career with Fan Family working with Omoyele, Dara, and Chaka. When I was 17, Omi invited me to Atlantic Records to take part in a focus group. That event was one of the most important days of my life. I knew what I wanted to do with my life. They took me under their wing and I was able to work with Fan Family to organize focus groups with Def Jam. They continued to support me and from all the connects I gained from working with them, it landed me a great position in the Digital Marketing Department at Def Jam. I am currently Manager of Interactive Marketing & Digital Strategy Universal republic Records/ Cash Money Records.

Since I can remember, Fan Family has played a major part in my life. Omoyele, Dara, and Chaka are the three pillars of strength that have kept me going and striving to accomplish more greatness! From childhood, I knew that I wanted to work in the television industry. By exposing me to various aspects of film & television, the Fan Family team has surpassed my expectations of what it means to have a mentor in this industry. They have kept me humble, and I owe many of my accomplishments in television production to them. Fan Family has never left my side. With their help, I am now working in the job of my dreams as a production coordinator for the TLC channel. None of this would've happened if it wasn't for Fan Family.
