TAMMY GIBSON
Tammy Gibson is an accomplished Entrepreneur, Historian, Traveler,
Speaker and Blogger. Her mission is to raise awareness, impact youth and
preserve pride in African American culture through her personal journey.
Tammy’s passion began at a young age in Chicago, IL. Raised by
entrepreneurial parents, they modeled the importance of hard work and
instilled the significance of education as the vehicle to transport her to the
life of her dreams. Tammy earned her B.A. in African American Studies
from Chicago State University.
Tammy’s increasing interest in African American history has led her to
travel extensively to explore Africa and several cities throughout the
United States to gather information about the hidden treasures of African
Americans that are erased from history books. Journaling the path of her
ancestors, Tammy has visited several national parks, historical landmarks,
museums, markers, cemeteries, slave plantations, findings of the
Underground Railroad, sleeping in slave cabins to honor the enslaved and
meeting historical leaders of the Civil Rights Movement and descendants
of the enslaved.
Her ability to share this valuable historical knowledge through her
presentations, have inspired the youth to learn and understand the
importance of African American history.
