Tashima Dukes
Author, Motivational Speaker, Foster care Advocate
Tashima Dukes is a former foster child who was placed in foster care in both Philadelphia and California. She was placed in more than 13 different foster homes before aging out of the foster care system. Today, Tashima is author of Truth Be Told: A Foster Child’s Recollection and The Sins of My Fathers Books where she shares her life experiences.
The Sins of My Fathers
A Journey Through Fatherlessness & Foster Care
A staggering twenty-four million children across the United States live in fatherless homes. Tashima Dukes was one of them. With courage and vulnerability, Dukes recounts a fatherless childhood plagued by poverty, abuse, and the struggle to belong.
The Sins of My Fathers follows Duke’s desperate journey to make sense of her existence as she searches for her lost family of origin and attempts to connect with her eight possible biological fathers. This book examines the crucial role fathers play in the upbringing and safety of their family as well as the grief and pain associated with their absence. The Sins of My Fathers is an exposition on the full spectrum of loss as Dukes reveals the pervasive and persistent effects of parental absenteeism on one’s life from childhood to adulthood.
Truth Be Told
A Foster Child's Recollection
With a mother in and out of her life, and eight possible men being her father, Tashima Dukes was forced to grow up without any real parents. Even so, Psalms 27:10 says," When my father and mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up". Take her up indeed, did the Lord, despite enduring a childhood of abuse, neglect, and instability. Remarkably, by age 22, she earned a Master's degree, and virtually by accident, landed a job working for a foster care agency she had once been part of as a child.
Truth Be Told chronicles the incredible events of a former foster child's life, as her divine destiny unravels in extraordinary fashion.
