Albany, NY - Many Americas blame the underserved, saying the situations are a result of bad choices. Professor Tamu Chambers of the Department of Education and Social Sciences at Hudson Valley Community College (HVCC) in Troy, New York, says individuals have not failed, society has failed. Homelessness is the result of a combination of socioeconomic and political issues.

Professor Chambers has been educating students and community members for over 20 years.

Professor Chambers founded Sisters In Sync, a platform for students to have direct access to her so they can deeply analyze each student’s situation.

Shortly after Hurricane Katrina, she spearheaded the difficult task of bringing Sisters in Sync to New Orleans.

When Sisters in Sync returned, everyone at HVCC was surprised at the level of poverty. “I was able to convince HVCC to allow us to create Katrinas Closet. For anyone looking for a job, the Katrinas Closet project helps with the proper clothing and makeup. I also help with resumes.

Professor Chambers has received many titles, trophies, and trinkets (too long to list), and is the author of 4 best-selling books. “Understanding and Overcoming Adversity,” “21st Century Anthology: Higher Education, Pride, Purpose, and Passion,” “KWANZAA, A Celebration of Family, Community and Culture,” and “An American Tragedy: Katrina’s Closet,” are all available on Amazon..
