21 Podcast with Tamika Curry Smith, A Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Stalwart

In this episode of 21, we talk with Tamika Curry Smith. Tamika is an expert and powerhouse in the space of Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DE&I), with experience driving business outcomes in top companies, including Mercedes Benz and Nike. She is also president of TCS Group, Inc. Tamika’s work in DE&I is her life purpose. While she obtained an accounting degree and had a successful career in public accounting, she pivoted to a DE&I leadership role and quickly learned that this is her true passion.

She speaks with ease about racial and gender dynamics that impact sports and business...topics Tamika mastered prior to 2020 when DE&I really became central focus for global companies. She also talks to us about work life integration and how hybrid work arrangements over the last year have been beneficial for working women and working parents. And tune in as Tamika explains the “Pro Formula” (Performance + Relationships =Opportunity).

Tamika is University of Michigan graduate; she has Wolverine in her DNA! She gives back to her alma mater in a number of ways, and she is a mentor and coach to so many.

Enjoy this episode of 21, and let Tamika inspire you to make your mark in the space of racial and social justice.
