Ep 334: Leveraging the Power of Media with Tam Lawrence
Elzie speaks with Tam Lawrence, a comedian turned publicist and founder of Exposure Magazine. Tam shares her journey into media, which began with her passion for comedy and performing. She then leveraged her skills in communication and psychology to become a publicist for marginalized individuals, including African American NFL players who weren't receiving the media coverage they deserved. Tam founded Exposure Magazine to ensure that ordinary people doing extraordinary things had a platform.
Tam's desire to further highlight the contributions and stories of African Americans was inspired by her parents' legacy as Pan Africanists and she saw the importance of archiving and sharing the stories of African Americans who have contributed to society, such as Nelson Mandela, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King Jr. Tam believes that media can be a powerful tool to combat negative depictions of African Americans by changing the narrative. Tune in to hear Tam's inspiring journey and her dedication to changing the narrative.
02:22 - It's so important for our children to know who we were and the contributions in which we provided in society. And so a lot of times, we don't see that narrative written in media about African Americans. And for me, following the footsteps of my parents, my daddy always told me, choose your weapon. And so for me, this media is the choice of weapon.
