I was drawn to share Tamicka’s story after we met at the Mental Health KC Conference last spring. After studying computer engineering in college, Tamicka realized she wanted to work with families and individuals to heal, grow, and become the best version of themselves. Because of her own story and experiences, Tamicka wrote the book Where Daddy Lives  (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CWPPQ3B9?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_XVTTF66NZM3GNW3XW3VA). Tamicka’s father went to jail and then prison when she was a senior in high school. She wrote the book for children of incarcerated parents to have a resource on feelings and coping mechanisms when they have a parent in jail or prison. Additionally, Tamicka shares her expertise on trauma and the importance of immediate help for children. Don’t miss this educational and inspiring episode.
