Celebrate Kindness

Tamara's style of storytelling draws listeners in as they make personal connections to her journey of cultivating kindness. Presentations can range from intimate settings with only a microphone or large-scale venues with digital slide decks. With her experience as an educator, instructional technology coach, and international conference presenter, she can customize her presentation to meet your audience's needs. Tamara believes the best presentations end with audience members feeling refreshed, inspired, and empowered to make a positive impact in the world around them.

Tamara Letter began her teaching career in Las Vegas, Nevada in 1997. Since then, she has taught in Memphis, TN, and Staunton, VA, before returning to her hometown of Mechanicsville, VA where she has served students and staff since 2007.

Her passion for kindness, sparked by a 40th birthday project, continues to grow as she cultivates kindness around the world.

Tamara earned her bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from Radford University in 1994 and her master’s degree in Educational Leadership from James Madison University in 2006.

Tamara Letter's kindness work has been showcased on television, radio shows, podcasts, online magazines, and across social media platforms. She is a charismatic and energetic public speaker, presenting at local, state, and international events.

Celebrate Kindness details her adventures in blessing others with Random Acts of Kindness and includes personal stories of interactions with strangers. Heartfelt and passionate, these stories will touch your heart as I extend these experiences into deeper conversations about purpose, goals, and motivation. She provides links and resources through a website for those attendees who want to learn more or begin their own adventures. She can speak at your event for 30 or 60 minutes or customize her presentation to include work sessions where participants brainstorm acts of kindness and create action plans for future steps. She also offers book signing events following her presentations. She is based near Richmond, VA, and is available for local and travel-related events.

When not teaching and writing, Tamara enjoys spending time with her three children and connecting with other kindness cultivators around the world.

If a visual presentation is requested, Tamara can provide her own laptop and LCD projector if required. Microphones, staging, and sound would be provided at the discretion of the venue and/or service provider.
