In this episode of Lean the F*ck Out, Gretchen and Tera talk with Tameka Ramsey, founder of T Ramsey &amp; Associates. Tameka is an entrepreneur, consultant, community organizer, problem solver and so much more. Honestly, it’s hard to capture in a brief statement what a bad ass Tameka is! Listen to this episode to get a sense of what she does, why she does it, and how she is truly changing the damn world.  Changing the Damn World! Episode Highlights:  Tameka started T Ramsey &amp; Associates and modeled it after Olivia Pope &amp; Associates! The consultancy is made up of black women consultants with a wide range of expertise including advocacy, social justice, strategic planning, civic engagement, PR, branding, communications, writing and more. An important aspect of T Ramsey &amp; Associates is that it empowers black women to run their own businesses while having the flexibility to work and raise their families. Black women move the needle when it comes to policies and voting. Community organizing has to start hyper-locally. Organize yourself and your lives first, then once you feel that empowerment you automatically start going bigger and making more movement. You need to feel empowered personally first. Organizations need to see this first. Empower women first, then bring them along to the Capitol. “Calling out rudeness is my favorite past time.” “All community organizers should be social workers.” “Organize in the way of the Black Panther.”  Tameka Ramsey Tameka Ramsey is the founder and senior associate at T.
