Tami Charles

Tami Charles is the New York Times bestselling author of more than twenty books for children and young adults, including the acclaimed titles All Because You Matter, We Are Here, and Like Vanessa. Her work has earned multiple starred reviews, Junior Library Guild selections, and national recognition in Essence Magazine, Entertainment Weekly, Buzzfeed’s Top 40, and The New York Times Book Review. She has also appeared on Good Morning America, The Morning Blend, Good Day Philadelphia, and CBS Mornings.

In her teens and early twenties, Tami briefly stepped into the music industry as a member of an all-girl R&B trio, performing on BET and for Boyz II Men—an experience that would later inspire her young adult verse novel, Muted.

After college, Tami worked as an educator for fourteen years before pursuing her childhood dream of becoming an author. She now visits schools across the country and abroad, sharing stories that affirm and inspire. Her latest title, Together, United, continues that work.
