Tamika D. Mallory is a bestselling author, award-winning social justice leader, and movement strategist. A powerful and influential organizer, she has been at the forefront of major justice movements, from fighting voter suppression to advocating for Breonna Taylor.
As the youngest-ever Executive Director of the civil rights organization, National Action Network, Tamika helped create New York City’s $100 million Crisis Management System for gun violence intervention and prevention. She made history as a national co-chair of the 2017 Women’s March, the largest single-day demonstration in U.S. history.
In 2020, Tamika’s impassioned speech during the George Floyd protests in Minneapolis went viral, resonating with millions around the world and becoming the foundation for her bestselling book, STATE OF EMERGENCY: How We Win in the Country We Built, a powerful call to action for systemic change.
In early 2025, she released I LIVED TO TELL THE STORY, a coming-of-age memoir that offers a deeply personal reflection on her journey as a curious young girl growing up in Harlem, NY to an internationally known activist.
Now, as co-founder of Until Freedom, she continues her work organizing and advocating for marginalized communities. She also serves as co-host and executive producer of the TMI Podcast (Tamika & Mysonne’s Information) on iHeart Radio’s Black Effect Network.
Named one of Time 100’s Most Influential People and featured on Fortune’s list of the World’s Greatest Leaders, Tamika has received numerous honors, including the Phoenix Award from the Congressional Black Caucus.
Tamika remains relentless in her mission to empower and uplift disenfranchised communities, standing firm on the frontlines for freedom and equality—all while embracing her most cherished roles as a mother and grandmother.
