Tamiko Lowry (Community Nominee)
Nominated by Destiny Miles – Tamiko Lowry is a survivor. After years of hurdling over obstacles and roadblocks including a marriage in which her spirit, mind, and body was battered constantly, she has embarked on a journey to birth purpose out of her pain. A Buffalo, NY native, Tamiko Lowry is the epitome of her aptly named non-profit, The Still Standing Foundation — an organization that provides a positive outlet for survivors of domestic violence to shed the shame and despair of their struggle while gaining strength and power in spite of it. She is a compassionate mentor and friend, an enthusiastic leader, and visionary. Tamiko not only helps women to regroup their lives after abuse but she also reaches out to teens via her Teen Dating Violence Awareness Program. Tamiko is a member of The National Association of Professional Women, Atlanta’s Urban Professionals, Atlanta Women Entrepreneurs (AWE), and Women In The Spotlight GoinGlobal. In 2010 she was featured in Career Magazine’s article “40 Movers and Shakers under the age of 40” and in 2012 received The Celebration of Gospel Atlanta Rising Star Award for her work with the Still Standing Foundation. Tamiko currently serves as a contributor for the Female Entrepreneurs Association Magazine, and the Fulton County Women’s Journal. Her experiences and the wisdom gained from them has afforded her many opportunities to appear on several radio and talk shows, host seminars, workshops, and provide support to other charitable organizations throughout the country. As a Speaker, Empowerment Life Coach, and Domestic Violence Advocate, Tamiko believes that empowerment comes from within and can be achieved by honoring yourself, your values, and expressing your talents and gifts. – See more at: http://mywinbiz.com/wgpd/pinboard/content/nominated-destiny-miles-tamiko-lowry-survivor-after-years-hurdling-over-obstacles-and?ovr=1#sthash.RezSgoSu.dpuf
