32: Tara Robinson, founder of the Black Heart Association, School Counselor and U.S. Army Veteran on Surviving 3 Heart Attacks at Age 40 and Helping Others Fight for their Lives

February was American Heart Month and March is Women’s History Month in the United States. To close out American Heart Month and Kick off Women’s History Month host Tomeria Jordan had the pleasure of interviewing Tara Robinson, she is the founder of the Black Heart Association. She is also a school counselor specializing in childhood trauma and U.S. Army Veteran who resides in Fort Worth, Texas. 

 

Tara’s story is unique and powerful. After suffering three heart attacks over the course of one week, with the last nearly claiming her life, Tara discovered that she was in a fight for her life. She later realized that the black community was also silently losing that same fight against heart disease, so she decided to fight back! Together with her husband, The Black Heart Association (BHA), was created through their survivor story, to fight for the thousands of minority men, women and children, and their loved ones, who will experience the negative impact of heart disease or stroke each year. Tara is a survivor and an ambassador for Go Red for Women, working to raise awareness regarding the issue of women and heart disease.

 

Tara’s story has been featured on several major media outlets including Good Morning America, Essence, Women’s Health and the American Heart Association to name a few. Tara is a trailblazer and inspiration and we are grateful for the work she is doing to empower others to keep fighting for their life.

 

On this episode Tara shares:

• Her personal testimony,
• Why she started BHA,
• Tips for taking care of yourself, and 
• What you can expect from BHA in the short and long-term. 

 

This is an interview you don't want to miss. Be sure to share it with your family and friends because you never know who needs this information to save their life. Be blessed.
