Hey #DreamMates!

I am so glad to have you join the #DreamingWithMika community. I have spent my life pioneering the literary space and building my empire from the ground up. I know firsthand the power a dream - and a lot of hard work - can do.

Are you ready to #DreamWithMika?

A Word from Tamika

Hey Dreammates,

Whew—this week is busy busy for me, and I’m leaning all the way in. Black Writers Weekend is here, and if you know, you know—this is the biggest production I put on each year. It’s a beautiful kind of chaos, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

On top of that, I’m deep in post-production on a documentary I filmed last year. My goal is to wrap it up by August so we can hit the film festival circuit strong. I’m also outlining a brand-new film project that I’ll be directing—yes, directing—for the very first time. It’s giving “next-level,” and I’m so excited to step into that new creative space.

Oh, and did I mention? I haven’t even packed yet for the move abroad. Yep. A whole move to a whole new country is happening in just a couple of weeks.

Now here’s the advice I keep giving myself—and I want to pass it on to you, too: take it day by day. You can make the vision board, write the goals, plan the whole thing out, but real life will still hit you with everything all at once. When that happens, don’t freeze. Don’t spiral. Just do what you can, one day at a time.

A little bit of progress, a little bit of grace. That’s how you get through the big shifts while they’re happening. And if something doesn’t get done? Maybe it wasn’t meant to in this moment—and that’s okay.

Me? I start my day with prayer, lead with gratitude, and end it the same way. Then I get up the next morning and keep it pushing.

So live your days to the best and fullest you can. Stay grounded in what matters. And trust—what’s meant for you will always find its way to you.

If you’re reading this before BWW, I hope I see you there! And if it’s after—head to my socials and YouTube to catch all the moments, the memories, and the magic we created. Year 17 of producing and I’m still just as excited. It’s going to be a beautiful week.

Love y’all,
​Tamika 💛​

Words to #Dream By

I’m gonna prioritize me—because when I show up for myself first, I move from overflow, not exhaustion. And you should do the same: prioritize you, fully and unapologetically, because your peace, your power, and your purpose all start with how well you care for you.

Until Next Time

Until next time, go ahead and tap into a good book or binge a good show—something that pulls you in and won’t let go. Because there’s nothing wrong with getting lost in a GOOD story. Sometimes that’s exactly what we need: a little escape, a little magic, a reminder that stories—whether they’re on the page or on the screen—can refill your spirit in the best way.

Don’t be alive just to be working. Be alive to explore everything this world has to offer—and then some.

So curl up, press play, turn the page… and let yourself feel something.
