After graduation, she worked in the radio industries of Baltimore and Washington, D.C. at such stations as WTEM-AM, WXYV-FM (V103) and WPGC - FM & AM. A staff writer position with Take Me Out to the Go-Go Magazine proved to be more spiritually fulfilling than her radio career, so Tahira decided to pursue her lifelong dream of being a full-time writer.

Tahira did Public Relations and Promotion work for Jokes On Us Comedy Club and several small D.C. area businesses. The year 2002 brought Tahira back to broadcast media with her own television talk show, “Tuff Crowd”, and duties as producer, floor director and fill-in host for multicultural talk shows and music video programs on Washington’s WIAV-TV 58. Tahira is now on the road to completing her PhD in Community and Applied Social Psychology at the University of Maryland Baltimore County.
