TD March Forward (2024)

BOOK A CAMPAIGN

Most people see AI as a tool. I see it as a power structure. And understanding the difference is everything.

There’s no shortage of visionaries with powerful ideas. What’s missing is the infrastructure to protect those ideas, monetize them, and pass them on.
I’m an AI strategist and business architect. I work with institutions, city leaders, founders, and public-serving organizations to help them build tech frameworks that preserve their knowledge and unlock capital.

Over the last 15 years, my work has helped raise over $20M for women-led ventures, secure $4M to build AI for the culture, and impact more than 240,000 students through culturally responsive education.

TESTIMONIALS

Roxanne James

TD Bank North America, Senior HR Manager – EnterpriseDEI,  2SLGBTQ+ and Women at TD

“Tamar Huggins delivered a powerful and forward-thinking keynote that truly set the tone for TD’s Black History Month kickoff event in Toronto on February 3rd. Her insights on AI and its transformative impact on the way we do business was inspiring, connecting innovation with purpose and possibility.  Tamar challenged us to think bigger, move smarter and embrace the future with intention while reminding us that Black excellence has always been at the forefront of progress.”

Esther Peters

Business Analyst, TD Bank

“Tamar gave us a powerful blueprint for the future of AI — grounding innovation in humanity, clarity, and responsibility. The call to action for us as leaders was clear: “Democratize judgment, sharpen discernment, and empower colleagues to confidently close the gap between insight and action.”

The Right Honourable Justin Trudeau

 Prime Minister of Canada

“Tamar Huggins is redefining what leadership in technology looks like. Through her organization Tech Spark, she’s empowered thousands of young people—particularly children of colour—to see themselves as innovators, creators, and leaders in the digital economy. Her work breaks down barriers and builds the future of tech in Canada to be more equitable, inclusive, and reflective of our values.”

Roxxena Farid

Investment Advisor, TD Wealth

“Tamar’s expertise and perspective on the impact of AI on our workplace, careers, personal development, and the future of our economy was insightful and resonated with me.”

Amoye Henry

Program Director, FoundHers Labs

“Tamar Huggins brought unmatched clarity and power to our accelerator. Her strategic coaching helped 14 women-led, AI-driven companies refine their business narratives, attract funding, and present confidently on global stages. Four founders raised over $ 50,000 under her mentorship, and 11 showcased in NYC on Demo Day. Her guidance didn’t just elevate their pitches—it positioned them for long-term success in the AI ecosystem.”

Chantel Abbey

Customer Experience, TD Bank

“It was truly inspiring to hear Tamar discuss the ways sharpening and strengthening your skills and expertise is needed to differentiate and stand out in your workplace, especially in the age of AI. What resonated most is when Tamar mentioned, ‘Instead of pulling up a chair to someone’s table, build your own table.’ We must strive to build our own table, to bring our diverse experience, knowledge, and background. Belonging means to stand firm in who you are and owning it.”
