Dr. Tamara Wilkerson Dias, Contributor
Dr. Tamara Wilkerson Dias leads with the mindset that self-care isn’t selfish, but instead the foundation of a healthy lifestyle. In her role as a nonprofit executive director, Dr. Dias works to eliminate the large racial disparity in public education. She leads an organization that supports the recruitment, retention, development, and support of African-American teachers. She has dedicated herself to the mission of supporting public servants in their own self-care journeys. As the founder and CEO of TWD Coaching & Consulting, she works to support women to live their healthiest lives. A three-time half-marathoner, she believes that putting yourself first allows you to ensure that your cup is full, so you remain at your best for others. When she is not running, or working on long grant applications, she is usually curled up with a good book.
Dr. Tamara Wilkerson Dias shares why she went from double cheeseburgers and sodas as post-run fuel to healthy carbs and proteins and the big difference it made in her running performance.
