Tameka Raymond Receives a Lifetime Achievement Award

Yes, that Tameka Raymond.

Good Afternoon!

Tameka Raymond was recently honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Art Institute of Atlanta’s Passion for Fashion Scholarship Event for her contributions to the fashion and entrepreneur industries. Many people do not know that Tameka attended Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising and went on to work in buying offices and before she started styling for celebrities. Tameka is now a proud owner and buyer for her two boutiques, Estella and Estella Home, located in Roswell, Georgia in addition to running her foundation Lost Ones and being a mother to her five boys.

The photographs below are of Tameka, a designer and a student at AiA and with her son Ryan.

All the best,

    Hey Princess! How goes it?
    I don’t get it either, anything Usher did he did on his own. He has issues if you ask me

    Cariblife says:

    Wait, this is a joke right??

    This chick just got knocked up so she could get a permanent paycheck, mission accomplished. I guess she could be seen as a winner to all gold diggers and hood rats round the world.

    her oldest son and her baby boy the one with Usher resemble very much :yes:

    @ Milan

    Even if you melted down all the gold bars in Fort Knox, you wouldn’t have enough to make awards to honor every woman that falls into THAT category.

    They’d be reduced recycling old tin cans and shyt to get them all. :lol:

    i don’t get all the disdain for Meka. Her and Chilli are about the same age. Meka looks darn good for popping out five babies. She was a stylist/designer BEFORE she met Usher. Chilli whined about the breakup, so did Meka. Not all people react to divorce the same way.

    MzTee says:

    Did some of y’all not read the accompanying press release to this post?

    Yes, Tameka is better known as the former Mrs. Usher Raymond; however, old girl had her own successful business before hooking up with him. Hell, that’s how they met — she used to be his stylist. She was Lauren Hill’s stylist during the height of Lauren’s “Miseducation of Lauren Hill’ days. She has also at one time or another styled Patti LaBelle, Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, Nas and several other celebrities.

    I believe she was also one of the partners in her ex-husband’s clothing line.

    Tameka’s contributions to the fashion game can’t be disputed. Her personal life ain’t got **** to do with her professional one. And, no I ain’t a Tameka stan; but, folks need to learn how to separate folks’ personal lives from their professional ones. Tameka is well respected within the fashion industry, regardless if she’s a goldigger or not. And, she’s deservedly being honored for her accomplishments within that industry.

    I don’t get the Tameka hate/dislike. She had a career before Usher. And still has one.

    :cosign: @Mz.Tee I’m one of the few that likes Tameka and last I checked having babies with your husband does NOT make you a baby mama :coffee:

    I guess reading before you comment is out the window now :shrug:

    I mean she met Usher as a celebrity stylist. It wasn’t like she was a housewife before she met him. Do your think Tameka, no shade from me girl.

    :newbie:

    I must co-sign with MzTee. Tameka was a stylist before she met Usher, it’s how she met him, and it’s what she does now. So two snaps for Tameka!

    AlabamaSky says:

    Yesssss MsEverything!! Your comment just gave me everything, HA! Tameka can be a bit brash at times, but having children with your husband was never a sin; baby mama who??? Quite the opposite clearly.

    kwall says:

    okay…i went back up and read the blurb on her accomplishments… :coffee:

    i still say her AND her semi-geriatric birff’ed 5 SONS uterus…are BOTH the poster chiren for the slogan of “having a baby don’t keep no man…”

    bye mrs. tameka foster glover raymond.

    Starr says:

    Good for Meka.

    I will admit that I ain’t like when she n ursh got together, but I think ppl pick and hate on her towards the end for no reason.

    Good for Tamkea!!!


  35. 35
    ySoSerious says:

    I’m neither for nor against Tameka. I didn’t even know who she was before Usher knocked up then wifed her. :shrugs:

    I just Googled her and, all personal chit aside, I have to say I still don’t know how she’s earned a lifetime achievement award but then I know next to nothing about fashion.

    In light of that, I can’t accurately judge Tameka’s contributions to this particular industry so I’ll concede my ignorance on this subject and let her be great. That is all. :coffee:

    I like Tameka. Congrats to her.
    LOL @ ELove, she made Forbes after the divorce. It’s ok, she went after what she wanted, got her man, gave him a couple of heirs and divorced him. She is not the first woman to go this route, and won’t be the last. I bet a buck Larry Kings wife didn’t know she was going to be married for 10+ yrs. She is still waiting for the “til death due us part”. She knows she will get more money in death than divorce. LOL.

    @ySoSerious
    I DIDN’T know Who The F-U-C-K Tameka was before she got with Usher Either… REGARDLESS of that fact She’s Ridiculously RICH because of TWO BABIES and A DIVORCE from Usher Raymond (Don’t have to WANT for ANYTHING…)

    THAT is A Lifetime Achievement (Being set Financially FOR LIFE…) and Your STILL Young enough to FULLY ENJOY your life (To The FULLEST…)

    I would HOPE that she could give TWO SHYTS about what anybody that she doesn’t KNOW or WILL NEVER come in contact with THINKS ABOUT HER (Real…) She’s able to live a life that the VAST Majority of people could ONLY DREAM OF… LIFE is Too Short to DEAL IN BULL-SHYT !!! :yes:

    :co-sign: @ELOVE and I just love @attorneymom, she’s always positive

    Tameka looks fantastic. Her hair is always tight and her make up is always on point! I didn’t know having babies with your “HUSBAND” qualifies you as a baby mama. I thought she was the mother of his children!

    Continue to do your thing Tameka! You’re rich, you’re beautiful, and I wouldn’t give a rats azz about what other people think!

    @Msnono she does resemble Sheree but I think Tameka is prettier. I think they are both pretty but I think most women are pretty so that means nothing :shrug:
