Atima started Omara Strategy Group in 2017 after more than fifteen years working on multiple political campaigns and for progressive causes. A former campaign staffer, political organizer,  nonprofit executive,  and candidate for public and political party office herself, Atima honed her experience and leadership as campaign staff over ten Democratic campaigns at the federal, state, and local level; as an organizer for SEIU, political organizer for Project Vote, special assistant to former Virginia Governor (now US Senator) Mark Warner,  organizer and surrogate for Hillary Clinton for President, and Vice President of the Reproductive Health Technologies Project, a research based advocacy organization. Additionally, in 2013, she was nationally elected President of the Young Democrats of America (YDA), the nation’s largest partisan youth organization where she was also the organization’s first Black President in its 80+ year history.  During her tenure, YDA’s national membership grew, and she led an independent expenditure campaign to  targeted states in the 2014 elections that increased the young voter turnout for Democrats in critical races

For her work with Omara Strategy Group, Atima draws on her experience to advise organizations on political strategy and programming, build and execute training and coaching that resonates with candidates, campaign staff, and advocates from historically marginalized communities, and to identify and mobilize key voters through voter engagement campaigns anchored in authentic storytelling.
