Tamara Tatham, a two-time Olympian from Malvern, credits her basketball career to the opportunities she found in her hometown. Speaking at the Malvern Made event, organized by the Malvern Family Resource Centre, she shared her inspiring journey to success. The event aims to spotlight local changemakers, particularly during Black History Month, challenging narrow perceptions of Malvern. Tatham’s resilience and late start in basketball showcase how determination can lead to great achievements. She exemplifies the potential for local talents to influence their communities and beyond, celebrating diversity in various fields including sports and public policy.
That one choice, that one opportunity to just say yes for the sport, really dictated the direction of my life, so I'm proud of where I'm from.
It really gives an opportunity to really think about shifting that narrative.
You can do anything you want to do.
This year's Malvern Made event celebrates Scarborough changemakers in a range of industries, from sports, public policy, and film.
