Tameeka "Cookie" Weekes
Tameeka Weekes was born in the Bed Stuy section of Brooklyn on the 26th of October in 1986. Never knowing much stability growing up in various areas of NYC, she’s seen a lot, been through a lot; this sweet face Brooklyn native is no stranger to hustling. The only constant in Tameeka’s life was music. If she wasn’t getting into trouble, she was singing or writing poetry. Music was her true first love. Once a High School dropout, Tameeka got tired of doing nothing with her life and decided to return to school. She then graduated a year earlier than expected, even winning the titles of VP of student council and prom queen.
What led Tameeka down the path of communications were movies like Brown Sugar and The Best Man. Because of movies and books focusing on black people attending black colleges and becoming successful, she fell in love with the idea of attending one herself. She went on a college tour that changed her life and was accepted into Delaware State University in 2005.There she was a Mass Communications major until the end of 2006, then transferred to Stony Brook University in Long Island and graduated December 2010 with a degree in Africana Studies. while attending Stony Brook, Tameeka became a proud sister of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated on April 26, 2008 through the chapter Theta Kappa. Through Zeta, Tameeka was exposed to Public Relations. Because of her innovative ideas, charismatic personality, and hunger to succeed, it only makes sense that Public Relations seemed like a natural career path. Tameeka started interning at Vance NyCC Multimedia in April 2011. Interning at Vance NyCC Multimedia gives Tameeka the chance to combine what she loves and what she has a passion for as her job
