Tamica Lee

This New Orleans native has accomplished so much before the age of 40, and I am so excited to share her insights and wisdom on what it takes to be successful!

A little background on this New Orleans Bombshell

Tamica Lee is a wife and a mother of two and is a positive role model for the 200 young boys that are a part of the charity organization, sonofasaint. org, that she co-founded with her brother. A former NFL cheerleader and Director for the Saintsations, she also owns her own business, T.Lee Lashes. She’s been co-anchor of WGNO’s News With A Twist and the star of Bravo’s Southern Charm New Orleans.

She's awesome! Here's my story:

Having watched her show on Bravo and seeing her energy and drive, I reached out for an interview and was excited when she accepted my invite. She also said that she’s excited about being featured in our very first issue - She, like her city, thrives on people, love, and light. When I expressed how grateful I was for her time, Tamica replied that being available to connect with people who ask is one secret to her success. She’s incredibly humble and full of great advice and insights; one of my personal favorites being,

Take every opportunity to encourage and help others. The more you help people, the more you thrive!

Question: “What’s your mantra, T?”

Answer: “MANIFEST EVERYTHING.”

“If you want something, you have to say it out loud, and then you have to jump!” Tamica believes it’s important to surround yourself with people who support you and give you the freedom to jump and be yourself. She said her mindset is “anything can be done.” Tamica decided at 34 to change careers from professional choreographer, dancer, and director to television. With persistence, she pursued that goal and set out to meet the News Director of a local television station. It paid off and she landed her first television job as a traffic reporter on WWL. That experience propelled her forward and three years ago, she became co-anchor of WGNO’s News With A Twist. When she sets her mind to something, you can consider it done! “The word NO,” Tamica says, “just means there’s another way to get it done”. Sounds like another key to success to me!

In September, she started her position as the morning news anchor for the ABC affiliate WGNO’s Good Morning New Orleans. Tamica said,

I love, love, love my job as a morning anchor for so many reasons. The station gives me the opportunity to be creative; a chance to talk to my city. I couldn’t ask for a better situation than to be my authentic self and be on TV.

Tamica’s energy and sense of humor are amazing and I’d love to share ALL THE THINGS that I picked up from this woman, but that would take a book! Fortunately for us, she’s writing one! She’s currently writing a book of stories from her own life lessons and motivational speeches. The moral of each story is different and one that impacted me is that

a candle doesn’t go out by lighting another candle.

You can build someone up, and it doesn’t take from you - women empowering women as a lifestyle!

Check her out on WGNO and keep an eye out for her book! I have an immense amount of respect and adoration for her. I think we can all stand to be a little more like T!
