Bio

Leader, community advocate, University of Miami alumna, retired WBNA athlete, world traveler, motivational speaker, mother, and now, Mayor of Dania Beach, Tamara James’s continual mission is to strengthen today’s society with her exemplary leadership starting with her beloved Dania Beach, the city she was proudly born and raised in. As the youngest mayor in the history of Dania Beach, garnering the most votes in history, Tamara has a fervent passion for providing Dania Beach residents with transparent leadership, safety practices, and viable community programs in an effort to create a thriving, unified environment for all citizens!

Tamara James is a thinker and a doer, a steadfast optimist delivering speeches to a wide array of environments including, but not limited to, leaders, organizations, community events, church groups, conferences, sports teams, and businessmen and women. She has inspired the masses to not only feel encouraged but to move swiftly toward goals with confidence and gusto. Tamara has devoted her life to inspiring action through community involvement efforts and remarkable, motivational speeches. She provides knowledge with specific subject matter expertise, sharing essential insight geared for your specific audience in addition to high-energy, thought-provoking, motivational speeches to encourage your audience to conquer new challenges and adopt new concepts. As a well-recognized speaker, Ms. James will be an incredible asset to your agenda, undoubtedly increasing event attendance and attracting media interest, if need be.

In 2006, Ms. James started the “Tamara James Foundation, Inc” with a mission to empower, educate, and strengthen the area by providing opportunities to build strong children, strong families, strong communities, and strong, future generations through sports and community events.

As a former WBNA athlete and professional European basketball player, Tamara has learned the value of teamwork, leadership, dedication, perseverance, and hard work; and as the all-time leading scorer for men’s and women’s basketball at the University of Miami, Ms. James exhibits a dignified humility for the beloved state of Florida – a place which has fully contributed to her growth, experience, and finest accomplishments. She spent nine years as a professional basketball player and has been blessed with the opportunities to not only play in the WBNA but also play in Spain, Turkey, and Israel. Her travels and overseas experiences have strengthed her ability to adapt and deepened her love for learning about the multitude of cultures around the world. In 2016, Tamara was inducted into the University of Miami’s Hall of Fame.

Motivating and educating an organization, team, or business through a professional, public speaker is highly advantageous, especially through a speaker with the experience and reputation of former WBNA star and current Dania Beach Mayor, Tamara James.
