My Story

Tamiya Davis is a native of Virginia Beach, Virginia.  A graduate of Old Dominion University, and a proud mother to her one and only son, LaTony.

When she is not working as an International Longshoreman in Virginia, where she has worked for almost two decades, Tamiya is pursuing her dream of achieving icon status! In 2016, she ran a restoration of rights chapter and helped over 100 felons receive their rights to vote. Tamiya was the proud owner of her fashion jewelry line called, Ynot Autumn Jewelry, which is credited with providing fashion jewelry for the legendary R&B group SWV. To date, her fashion credits include: styling at the 2013 Grammy Awards show, SWV Reunited WE TV reality series, 2013 VMA’s, R&B Divas Of LA, and the 2018 Soul Train Music Awards. Tamiya and Coko were co-owners of a women’s shoe boutique named, C&T Shoe Bar, that they opened together in 2013 in Lynnhaven Mall (Virginia Beach, VA.) and online. Bringing fashion at a reasonable price. In 2019, Tamiya joined forces with designer, Travian Vann, and founded The Hampton Roads Expo Extravaganza, Inspire yourself with W.H.E.N. (Wealth, Health, Entertainment, and New fashions). T.H.R.E.E. is a festival style setting with business/ local networking where you can learn, shop, build and enjoy music and fashion.

 Tamiya has added Author and Motivational Speaker to her list of credits, as she has released her debut book, From Fatal to Fierce. The book chronicles her journey of survival from her near-death experience, which left her disabled and disfigured, to the fierce, beautiful, and successful woman she is today. Tamiya’s goal is to empower people through dedication, drive, and determination; showing them that they too can live their dreams and ultimately achieve God’s purpose in their lives—just as she is doing.

Tamiya learned that righteous living had more to do with behavioral modification and heart transformation. She can still be fierce with her outward appearance, but her holiness and Spirit change is what matters.

Tamiya Davis is a native of Virginia Beach, Virginia (Virginia Is for Lovers), but was raised in Baltimore, Maryland (B-More Careful). During her early years, Tamiya lived a “fast” lifestyle with a vast number of friends, hot cars, drugs, domestic violence, and fashionable style. But on April 3, 1997, the trajectory of Tamiya's life was changed forever as a result of a near-fatal car accident. The beauty and “bad girl” lifestyle she once thought could get her anything she wanted, now mirrored what appeared to be, through her eyes, the ugliest face and most crippled girl in the world. She labeled herself, “Beauty & The Beast”.

From Fatal to Fierce, is Tamiya’s debut book which chronicles her journey of survival from her near-death experience, which left her disabled and disfigured, to the fierce, beautiful, and successful woman she is today. Through sheer dedication, drive, determination, tenacity, and God’s anointing, Tamiya was able to rebuild her life, and is now sharing her testimony in her debut book.

You get as much from your losses as you do your victories. Devastating tragedy, fatality, bad choices, brokenness, and even new opportunities, are the types of life experiences that push you beyond your own imaginable strength. Learn from it and move on triumphantly. FIERCELY!  ~  Tamiya Davis
