Meet Tara Stringfellow
Tara Stringfellow is more than just a national bestselling author and poet—she’s a proud Memphian who carries her hometown’s heart in every word she writes. A former attorney turned storyteller, Tara wields her pen like magic, sharing her gifts with the world and inspiring fellow Memphians to go after their dreams, no matter how big.
Tara Has Something to Say
A North Memphis native, Tara pours the spirit of Memphis into her work, intertwining pieces of her own life with the vibrant characters in her novel Memphis. During her interview, she reminisced about her grandmother’s beauty shop, where love, laughter, and the community came together.
Her latest work, Magic Enuff, is a powerful exploration of southern Black womanhood—celebrating both the painful and the glorious moments. Each poem invites readers to reflect on the experiences that shape them, while also serving as a tribute to the community that’s shaped her.
With every piece she creates, Tara reminds us that her story is powerful, her community is magic, and that she has so much more to say. Tara, we’re listening.
