With a career spanning over 30 years, Tara has made an indelible mark as an entrepreneur, actress, health coach, and mentor. She is not only recognized for her numerous achievements but also celebrated for the kindness and authenticity that underpin all her endeavors.

Tara made history as the first Black female entrepreneur to own a Massage Envy Spa and an I Love Kickboxing franchise in her area. This achievement serves as a beacon of hope for young people, particularly women of color, showing that barriers can be broken and dreams can be realized with hard work and determination. Each step in her entrepreneurial journey was fueled by her passion for uplifting others—creating job opportunities and nurturing the potential of her team through mentorship and training.

Tara’s influence extends into the entertainment industry, where she has earned recognition as an award-nominated actress in the film “ANYWAY.” She uses her platform not just for personal accolades, but as a means to inspire and empower her audience. Through her performances, she encourages others to embrace their true selves, instilling a sense of confidence that transcends beyond the silver screen.

Spiritually rooted in kindness, Tara emphasizes the importance of respect and love in every aspect of life. “Never let anyone abuse you mentally, emotionally, or physically—you deserve safety and respect,” she shares passionately. Tara’s love for animals further highlights her compassionate character, as she advocates for their care and protection in her community.

Though she has achieved so much, Tara continues to believe in the power of mentorship. “True impact comes not just from personal success but from lifting others as you rise,” she states, offering this wisdom to the younger generation. She encourages the youth to build genuine relationships, remain visible, and commit to personal growth. With her encouragement, she reminds them that success is not defined by likes or followers, but by authenticity and perseverance.

Tara Marq is more than just a successful entrepreneur or actress; she is a leader who seeks to ignite passion and resilience in others. Her legacy, one of strength and purpose, will inspire countless individuals to pursue their dreams and uplift their communities.

Why Did You Start My Black City?

A MESSAGE FROM BRANDON BORNES (FOUNDER OF MY BLACK CITY)

We often worry that we don’t have enough resources in our community to go around. When we see someone in our community doing what we do but better, we get a little nervous or intimidated. Instead of using competition to spur on our creativity, teamwork, work ethic and innovation, we become soo overwhelmed with our own fears and insecurities that we gossip, sabotage, or hurt one another. This has happened to many exceptional people in our community. We need to do better and lead by example. Our love for each other needs to be greater than our fear of failure.

If we had to simplify into one word what My Black City is about, it would be LOVE! Because Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

When people come in contact with our brand, that’s what I want them to experience. It‘s not an easy aspiration to live up to, but we believe it‘s worth fighting for and it‘s what we need as a community.
