Meet the Founder
Tamara Burks
Founder & Chief Strategist
Tamara Burks is the visionary behind Burks Strategic Holdings, Inc.—a strategist, creator, and advocate for Black women and small business owners who are ready to build on their own terms.
With a background spanning corporate spaces, leadership, and entrepreneurial ventures, Tamara has seen both sides of the table: the systems that keep underrepresented talent out, and the power of building your own. Through Burks Strategic Holdings and its portfolio of brands, she channels that experience into practical, soulful strategy—helping founders and communities move from surviving to thriving.
Tamara is especially passionate about:
Supporting high-achieving Black women in reclaiming balance, rest, and joy
Helping small businesses become lender-ready and structurally sound
Creating experiences and spaces—like retreats and future hospitality concepts—that feel like a soft landing for people who are always “on”
Today, she leads Burks Strategic Holdings with a simple belief: we don’t have to wait for systems to make room for us. We can build our own.
