YWCA Women of Excellence: Tammy Miles

What inspires you?

People that challenge others to be better people. It's easy to say you believe in something; However, those that challenge you to walk the walk on those things you only talk about, are a true inspiration.

What advice do you have for others?

Never give up. No matter how high the hill may be, the work put in will be well worth it in the end.

What is the greatest lesson you have learned on your journey?

Teamwork, compromise and understanding will get you further in what you are trying to achieve. Not one person has all the answers: We continue to work better in numbers rather than being the one with the best idea.

What does your vision for our community look like?

For us collectively to feel safe, appreciated and understood, no matter where what part of the city one may live. For the city of Topeka to have a genuine pride in how we treat each other and react to those around us.

What does "Equal - Powerful - Unstoppable" mean to you?

There is not a force around that will be able to deter one from the achieving what they set out to do.
