R&B Fusion Artist V. Tiarra was a featured performer/artist at the 2020 Blue Gala hosted by the Miami-Dade Democratic Party. Just as she is releasing her next new song, “Digital Love,” V. Tiarra performed “Batter Up” an ode to the many societal and social issues US Citizens face, while politicians “politick” and use their constituents for their own political power, financial gain and divisiveness of their own citizens.
V. Tiarra, Dr. Venis Wilder by day, is a Medical Director in Fort Lauderdale, FL, a Duke University Alumna and Harvard Medical Graduate, she has decided to return to South Florida to serve her community and wants to spread her message: Become active politically, socially and in your community for the change you desire, and don’t abandon your rights, especially the right to vote.
“I have always thought of doctoring as something that occurs both inside and outside of the walls of the exam room – many of the health problems patients come to see me about are a result of larger social issues,” she says. “So, I feel that sharing messages through music that address these issues is a way to affect a larger number of people than I could see one-on-one in my office.”
As a physician on the front lines of battling COVID-19, especially in the current epicenter of South Florida, V. Tiarra by day is committed to serving her community and patients.
V. Tiarra has been featured in countless publications, including but not limited to, The Sun-Sentinel, Medium, The Hype Magazine, and Rive Video. Further, V. Tiarra partners with Headcount, a non-partisan organization that uses the power of music to register voters and promote participation in democracy.
