About Tameka

Originally from Alabama, I began my acting career at Alabama State University; where I revived the role of Blanche in “A Streetcar Named Desire”. From there I was able to perform while also receiving an apprenticeship at Williamstown Theatre Festival.

The following summer, I became a Lin-Manuel Miranda fellow at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre Center. This prompted a graduate degree from UNCG with a MFA in Acting in 2020. During such unprecedented times, I was able to continue art by showcasing through Lin-Manuel Miranda’s program. I was then cast in the role of Nettie in “The Color Purple on the Soufside”, followed by the role of Nurse Nikki in “Sacred” the Movie. This exciting incline in my career enthralled me to make the big move.

I am now in NYC working! I just finished an Off-Broadway production of By Design by Shelby Fairfield at The AMT Theater. There is much more to come, so share this journey with me!
