Interview with TaMara

From Posterchild of Tragedy to Testimony: The Story of Survival and Strength

In this powerful and deeply moving episode of Emerge and Empower Podcast TV, Dr. LinJ sits down with a remarkable guest whose life is a living testimony of resilience, redemption, and faith.

At just 11 years old, she wrote her first suicide letter. By 16, she had attempted suicide for the first time. Years of battling bipolar disorder, depression, PTSD, and social anxiety led her into cycles of addiction, loss, and pain that were rarely spoken about in her family. Yet through it all, God preserved her story for purpose.

Haunted by the loss of dear friends like Stepf, she eventually found her calling through those very tragedies, transforming grief into mission. As a multimedia artist, certified art therapy practitioner, and mental health advocate, she founded Project W.I.N.G.S. (We Inspire Nurture Guide and Support), a faith-based initiative dedicated to helping others navigate the storms of mental health and trauma with hope and healing.

In this episode, she opens her heart about survival, faith, and the courage it takes to be the voice for others still fighting in silence. Because her story, like so many others, is not over, it’s emerging.
