She is also the founder of KJ’s Hope Foundation, a non-profit organization that educates, encourages, and empowers individuals living with sickle cell anemia, and the Tanya S. James Foundation (TSJF), another non-profit dedicated to building a better life for the underprivileged in society.
As a black woman in leadership, James is breaking barriers and inspiring others to do the same.
As a devoted wife, mother, philanthropist, and entrepreneur, Tanya is committed to being the example that personal and professional success can co-exist.
James has a reputable history of successful humanitarian efforts. For nearly 20 years, prior to her foundation being established in 2022, James has created a lasting impact amongst individuals, communities, and organizations.
Some of her most notable projects include establishing a college scholarship, assisting with medical bills, adopting classrooms, funding mission trips, donating to study-abroad ventures, refurbishing homes damaged by natural disasters, and more.
Recently, James has taken on a new venture that combines her passion for helping those who are less privileged and her commitment to giving back.
Through her foundation TSJF, Tanya broke ground this January on a school she is building in the Kapakoko Village of the Divo, in the West African country Côte D’Ivoire (Ivory Coast).
The goal of the project is to provide access to education and opportunities for young people in the Kapakoko community.
James is not only investing her own resources in this project, but also leveraging her connections to collaborate with the well-known non-profit ProSeed Foundation, with the hope of making an even bigger impact with the launch of the school.
