A former homeschooling mother of three and elementary school teacher, Tameka Prude Selders has
witnessed, first-hand, the many challenges facing parents and youth today. She is the co-founder and CEO of I Love Me Some Us ®, a family owned and operated business committed to strengthening the African American family and community, and in 2009 she launched Brown Baby Design®, an infant and children’s clothing line. She has written two children’s books: Happy to Be Chemical Free, dedicated to little girls who proudly wear their God-given hair; and Have You Ever Seen Anything More Beautiful, which celebrates the beauty of brown children.

Selders’ experience as a wife, mother, educator, and entrepreneur has sparked an interest by many. She
lectures across the country, motivating other educators, students, parents, and married couples to assess the purpose behind their functioning and approach each day with specific intention. She and her family have been featured in several magazines, newspaper articles, and blogs, including the Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun Times, Everything She, Honey Be Natural, and essence.com.

Selders is a native of Lake Charles, Louisiana, a proud alumnus of Southern University and A&M College, and she received her Masters of Arts in Teaching from Dallas Baptist University. She credits the Jackie Robinson Foundation as a major barrier-breaker in her life, and she currently serves as co-chair of the Southwestern Scholarship Advisory Committee. She is a member of the Omicron Mu Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. and the Dallas Chapter of Top Ladies of Distinction, Inc.

She considers herself the very blessed wife of Dr. Michael Selders and the ever-evolving mother of three children, Jamari, Hannah, and Khalil.
