“I always maintained a job but no job was fulfilling; I felt I was not doing what I was created to do.” After being laid off from a job, which she held for many years, Tamika was blessed to discover her true passion. Tamika entered the medical field as a medical assistant and shortly thereafter realized it was her desire to become a registered nurse. Tamika attends The College of New Jersey and will be enrolled as a senior nursing student in the fall. She credits her children as her motivation to pursue her dreams. Tamika plans to use her knowledge to educate women before, during and after motherhood begins.”

Tamika Bailey’s Testimonial

As a single mother, I face many struggles and I usually feel alone in my endeavors. When I received the YMF Inc. scholarship my first year of nursing school, I had tears of thankfulness because it has had such a profound effect on me. Connecting with the Yvonne McCalla foundation gave me a feeling of support and that in turn increased my confidence in my decision to pursue a nursing degree. I was so encouraged knowing others believed in me, especially at a time when I was not always sure I believed in myself. Having someone invested in not only my education but my success as a woman has meant the world to me. I can truly say that my connection with the members of YMF Inc. has had a meaningful impact on my life and my future. Thank you for believing in me and reaching out to be my light.
