Tamara Perkins, a 45-year-old Memphis woman, lived her life with passion, faith, and an unapologetic spirit 🌟🙏. She grew up in the church, loved to sang 🎶, and found comfort in sharing her soulful voice both inside and outside the pews. Despite facing judgment from some due to her identity 🏳️🌈, she stood strong, spreading love, joy, and encouragement through her gospel battles, karaoke nights, and online presence as “King Perkins.” Tamara balanced her career at Unilever with her faith and her growing platform, where she inspired others by showing what it meant to live boldly with no apologies 💪💜. She was deeply loved by family, friends, and her community, known for her humor, strength, and the light she carried into every room she entered ✨.
But on September 23, 2025, that light was tragically dimmed 💔🔫. During a night of drinking, Tamara got into an argument over religion with 69-year-old Calvin Johnson Sr., a man she had once called a friend. After a heated exchange, Calvin went to his room, grabbed a shotgun, and shot her in the abdomen without warning 😢😡. Police arrived to find him confessing casually, showing no remorse, only self-pity. His actions shocked the community, not only because he betrayed her trust, but because it highlighted the ugly hypocrisy of hiding hate behind the church ⛪🔥. Tamara deserved more time, more love, and more life—but instead, her voice was silenced by senseless violence. RIP to the victim, Tamara Perkins 🕊️🌹.
