Tamika’s story is one of resilience, faith, and creativity.From
surviving a life-changing car accident to navigating cancer and a stroke, Tamika’s journey is marked by deep trust in God through every season. She shares how her love for art, storytelling, and missions led her to EEM, where she now designs book covers and creates Scripture-based coloring books that bring families closer to God’s Word.This conversation is about finding meaning in the mess, seeing God’s hand in every moment, and learning how even small acts of obedience can be part of His bigger plan.
