T. M. Lakomy

I am Tamara Lakomy. I was born in London, but grew up as a feminist tribal girl in a North African repressive regime to divorced parents, I was raised between the slums where my father resided and the richer suburbs where my mother lived. The contrast made me fierce yet genteel. I saw the ugly side of poverty and lawlessness in the slums of Mellassine.

I studied archaeology and became enamoured with the shamanistic practices of indigenous people.

I am an author and poet who seeks to challenge our notions of reality, and see life with a different perspective.

I work in East Africa with indigenous tribes studying the origins of mankind and the salient golden thread in the tapestry of humanity's beliefs.

I write poetry and frequently publish them with magazines, I am also a resident poet at Penhead Press
