Tammy understands the importance of education and representation and that is why she joined the Board of FemArt.  Representation is imperative for people in marginalized communities.  People need to see others who look like them in space they desire to one day be included in.  Diversity is having people of different racial, ethnic and sexual orientation backgrounds but inclusivity is when those same people are at the table, have a voice and are included in the decision making process.
