PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas (Dec. 14, 2023) – Dr. Tammy L. Holmes, a tenured Prairie View A&M University professor, has been honored as a 2023 Black Future Maker through AT&T’s prestigious Dream in Black program.
This accolade celebrates visionaries shaping culture, and Holmes stands out for her dedication to connecting students and the Black community with global opportunities, emphasizing the significance of understanding their global identity.
She is committed to addressing the disparity in international exposure among Black students by creating “Living Learning Communities” through travel and impactful documentary filmmaking, exemplified by her recent work, “A Legacy Lost & Found.”
Driven by this mission, she is one of four distinguished female recipients awarded a $25,000 grant by AT&T, which she passionately channels into bringing her latest documentary to the big screen.
With over two decades of experience in education, specializing in Communication, Leadership, Africana Studies, and Adult Learning, Holmes is holding it down for the culture. Currently serving as a lecturer at PVAMU and an adjunct instructor at Lonestar College, her research centers on fostering increased student participation in international programs.
