We had the good fortune of connecting with Tajmaher Thomas and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tajmaher, can you share the most important lesson you’ve learned over the course of your career?
The most important lesson that my career has taught me is that you have to be consistent and you can’t be afraid to face challenges. Consistency is the key to becoming successful and facing challenges makes you stronger.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Pursuing acting has definitely been a challenge because I am just getting started at almost 50 years old. I am mostly proud that I didn’t let my age discourage me from pursuing a career in acting. It’s not easy going up against younger actresses in the industry. I am 48 years old but can pass for a character who’s 35 years old. I’ve learned that confidence is most important in this industry. I would like the world to know that it is never too late to pursue a career that you’re passionate about and never let anyone discourage them from doing so.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my best friend comes to visit me for a week she will have the best time of her life. We would check out a few cigar lounges and go to a couple of karaoke bars. We would dine at one of my favorite seafood spots and hangout at my favorite nightclub that plays old-school music all night to get our dance on.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I have quite a few people who have supported me along my journey. First of all, I would like to thank Keyboard Money Mike for giving me my first leading acting role opportunity in a short film. I would also like to thank Sasha Johnson, Terry Tlove Coleman, Patricia Dixon, Treniece Cooper and Trista Stevens for always being so positive and encouraging me to fulfill my passions.
