About Me

---

Being in love with music, Tam Anderson moved to Los Angeles from Memphis, TN, in 2000 to pursue a singing career. Intrigued with music at an early age, she taught herself how to write and play music. Tam signed with Colors Talent and Modeling Agency and appeared in numerous TV commercials, and even print ads for Fed Ex. She acted in the stage plays: "The Day the King Died" and "Troubled Brother." She also had a lead role in an independent film entitled "Wet Noises." This movie won several awards including the "Award of Distinction" from The Videographer Awards. She worked as an On-Air personality for K-97 (WHRK), as well as U-92 (University of Memphis' Jazz station). A highlight was when she was crowned Miss Teen Black Memphis at the age of 16.

While in Los Angeles, she soon found herself behind-the-scenes promoting other artists as a Marketing Representative for Sony Music and as a Producer and Videographer for a celebrity show called Studio Q.  As a Marketing Manager with over 20 years of experience, her career has been marked by a consistent track record of delivering profitable marketing solutions, fostering customer engagement, and enhancing brand awareness for notable companies such as Guitar Center, Belkin, DTS and IMAX. Throughout her career, she has honed a diverse skill set that encompasses various aspects of marketing and project management, allowing her to excel in a dynamic and competitive business landscape. Some of those skills include digital content, branding, social media, retail, events, and graphic design. Tam has a Bachelor of Arts in Communications from The University of Memphis as well as various certifications in marketing. She is passionate about driving success and exceeding expectations in every endeavor. Her comprehensive skill set, combined with extensive experience, makes her a valuable asset in achieving business objectives and fostering growth.

Outside of the office, Tam is the owner of Tam Jam Candles (tamjamcandles.com) and host of a podcast called The UnNatural Mom. 

The UnNatural Mom 

The UnNatural Mom is a raw, real, and radically honest podcast hosted by Tam Anderson, a proud mom whose journey didn’t follow the “natural” path. This show is a safe, supportive space for women who became mothers through surrogacy, adoption, foster care, step-parenting, and every other path outside of traditional childbirth.  

Each episode dives deep into the emotional, practical, and transformative moments that define motherhood for those whose stories often go untold. From the heartache and hope of the journey to become a mom, to the challenges, triumphs, and beauty of raising a child in unique circumstances, The UnNatural Mom explores it all, with authenticity, vulnerability, and love.  

If you're a mom, becoming a mom, or love someone on that path, this podcast is for you. Because no matter how you got here, your motherhood is real, valid, and worth celebrating.
