Tamira Moon

On Wednesday March 13, 2019, I had the privilege of awarding Tamira Moon the Nikki T. Randall Servant Leader Award. For those of you who do not know Tamira, she is an astounding citizen of Atlanta. She has a Masters in Health Education and is a Certified Life Coach. Not only has she helped citizens of Metro-Atlanta, but for the past 15 plus years she actively works to help Georgians around the state. She has handled million dollar grants, worked and planned various community events. Currently, she oversees the Georgia Comprehensive Cancer Control Program in the Department of Public Health. This program works with organizations around the state to monitor mortality and morbidity rates of cancer and well as promotes education in communities. Through this she also works to build awareness about the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Vaccine which protects against cervical cancer and is focused on cancer prevention and survivorship. This is discussed through initiatives with a specific focus on education. In 2017, she started the Moon and Back Foundation, Inc. The foundation pays homage to Moon’s mother and works to implement strategies focused on health, education, and communities. She has been recognized as one of the 40 under 40 who have made significant strides in their careers, one of the top 25 women in Atlanta, awarded Champion for Good Health, and much more. She is a teacher and a leader who is well deserving of the Nikki T. Randall Service Award.
