Emmy Award-winning Freelance Journalist, Documentary Filmmaker, and Media Trainer: Meet Tamara Banks
For Emmy Award-winning journalist Tamara Banks the statement, "One Person Can Make a Difference," is more than just words. She is a freelance journalist, documentary filmmaker, and media trainer focused on social justice and dedicated to creating transformational social change through excellence in journalism. Her expertise includes social justice and political issues, nationally and internationally, particularly in South Sudan, Darfur, and other parts of the globe where there is little or no news coverage about crimes against humanity and genocide. Her life experiences, connectivity, and sense of humor have made her a sought-after keynote speaker and emcee.
Tamara has always felt, even as a child, there are more things people all over the world have in common than things that make us different. Fair and balanced journalism, telling stories from a Black woman's perspective, is one of the best ways to help people see we are all one community and that we can embrace each other's differences, not reject them or admonish them.
Tamara has always been passionate about closing the equity gap. "I believe 'one person can make a difference.' That is my motto. I've seen how a lack of resources can make the difference between being lost, drifting, and struggling, and being successful and thriving. By showing up in the world to serve others, we can easily be passionate about closing the equity gap and making the world a better place."
In 2020, as more Black Lives were taken by police and the country erupted in calls for racial justice, From Moment to Movement with Tamara Banks debuted on PBS12 TV. The provocative and educational program features Black leaders, entrepreneurs, artists, youth, and other members of the Black community discussing their life experiences with racism and potential solutions for systemic change. The Anchor Point Foundation generously supports the show.
Tamara's work has been featured on numerous news networks, including PBS, CNN, ABC News, HDNet's World Report, BBC, Al Jazeera America, WB 2 News, and FOX News, as well on as several radio stations and newspapers over the past 20+ years. She has extensive experience covering various historical issues and stories, from the Columbine massacre and the Aurora Movie Theater shootings to the massive floods in Colorado in the summer of 2013. She's also experienced in covering major hot-button topics like the gun rights debate and marriage equality.
Tamara has traveled to Uganda to interview child soldiers and to Rwanda, where she reported on that country's post-genocide challenges and successes. She returned in April 2018 to report on strides in workforce development in those countries.
