Tamara Ravelo from New Haven, CT

My favorite things include laughter, travel, and having fun with those I love. Currently, I live on the East Coast with my husband and daughter, but originally, I am from the West Coast, where I love sunny beach days. Home is the Quechan Indian Reservation (pronounced Kwuh-tsan), where I spent many of my formative years unaware that my family and I lived on a reservation. I’m out here in the world proudly reppin’ my Indigenous people. Life by far hasn’t been easy, but by God’s grace, I’ve obtained my master’s degree in business (MBA) and currently attend Yale University as an MDiv candidate slated to graduate in 2023’. At Yale, I also serve in Marquand Chapel as a minister. On other days you can find me leading as Assistant Pastor at Salem Covenant Church in Washington Depot, CT, where I love prayer and creating spaces for others to heal; however, that may come.
