Tamara “Liberty” Smith was born and raised on Detroit's west side, attended Detroit Public Schools and is a graduate of Henry Ford High School. Raised by one of Detroit's greats, Wayne County Prosecutor, Morton Tatken, “Liberty” has been exposed to community activism since her childhood years and has adapted the desire to see and implement improvements within her community. As a proud mother of six, Tamara's priority has always been family first which drives her motivation to create positive change among the citizens of Detroit; specifically the under-served residents, business owners and the seniors. As an active proponent of grass roots community organization  and community leadership, Tamara has embraced the New Age of viral communication (doing great numbers on social media)  as she continues to do the work of her community. Her stance on public safety, education and battling Detroit's rapidly growing yet underground Human Sex Trade epidemic has consumed her focus as she prepares to go forth into official city and district leadership. Tamara “Liberty” Smith is driven, passionate and an advocate for the underrepresented citizens of Detroit and it is her platform to fight for issues that affect the quality of life within her community in an effort to ensure a stronger and more bonded environment for all.
