That one, single, brightest star of Venus up in the heavens is one of Tamara's many guides. The particular guide of Venus is the representation of the feminine with a message of love, beauty and wholeness.

Tamara feels that in the beginning of time, genderless, merciful and omnipresent, the supreme power of all creation intended man and women to be equally unique and genuine. Without woman there would be no man and without man there would be no woman. So, in this lifetime she has come as a female. Androgynous and genderless at heart, she has appeared on this physical plane in delusional female appearance. Neither worshiping male or female, yet soul as the real energy embodied, Tamara strives for equality in gender.

Tamara Venus Star quotes: "Being a woman in the music business is not an easy task. In fact, being of female gender in some countries is dangerous and life threatening. The oppression against women is astounding in documented percentiles of abuse and murder against women of certain nations. As a woman i have seen the oppression that a woman can experience when thrown into the throws of discrimination. I have great admiration for successful women. Without these women, i would not have had the inspiration to continue my mission of sharing the music that flows through me. It helps me so much, i know it must be helping others.

I understand the struggle it takes one to overcome judgmental obstacles which still plague our planet daily. Both being powerful- in different ways... the world needs to liberate even more as far as gender relations go".

Tamara feels the music business to be a rough business at times. If not wise, one can get banged around, taken advantage of, criticized...and forced to deal with the unfortunate aspects of being a performer. Women especially need that all empowering force of protection behind them in attempts to raise consciousness and take leaps in evolution in the balance between the male and female aspects of creation. Tamara has chosen in this lifetime to help women to gain power of equality with everything.
