TMX Talks — News. Updates. Events

I began my career journey as a Senior General Manager at the TMX Finance® Family of Companies in August 2014 in Memphis, TN. In my first six months with the Company, I worked at almost every location in the area, which gave me valuable experience for when I was placed in my permanent store on Austin Peay Highway. With experience at various stores in the area along with consistent initiative and hard work, shortly after joining the Austin Peay Highway team, I became a Certified General Manager Trainer. My leadership saw my growth potential and offered me a stretch assignment …

Over the past 13 years with the TMX Finance® Family of Companies, the most special part for me has been the people: leadership, peers, and customers alike. I always keep an open mind to learn something from everyone, and my end goal is for everyone to leave an interaction with me with a huge smile on their face. All the people at the Company matter, and they deserve to feel the same happiness and joy they bring me. When I started in 2010, I joined the Company as a Customer Service Representative, an entry-level position. After my initial 90 days …

Later this month, I will be celebrating nine years with the TMX Finance® Family of Companies. I started with the Company in 2014 as a Store Manager. In 2017, the Company began focusing more on visions – visions for the Company, visions for the teams, and visions for yourself. Our teams created vision board to really help us see and work towards our future. On my board, I put a goal to move to from my hometown, Overton, TX, and start a new life in Dallas, TX. Five months later, I earned a promotion to General Manager and was given …

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is not just a holiday to me; it’s a day for service. While Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. rose to fame as an instrumental leader during the Civil Rights Movement, he dedicated his life to improving the welfare of ALL people. Dr. King became an activist to make sure that everyone, no matter their skin color, would be treated equally with dignity and respect. This day should be an important observance for all. In honor of Dr. King and his tireless efforts to improve communities across the nation, Congress passed the King Holiday and Service …

I was born in Lima, Peru and, while I’ve lived in the United States for more than half of my life, the traditions I grew up with are still very much with me every day. My family and I try to continue them as much as we can and where we can. When I say family, I don’t mean just parents and brothers, but also my grandparents, aunts, uncles, and first and second cousins; the traditions are just one of the things that keep us all together even when we are apart. My Peruvian history is a combination of the …

On June 19, 1865 two and a half years after the official Emancipation Proclamation was read, the enslaved population of Galveston, Texas was finally free. This is known as Juneteenth. For me, Juneteenth signifies Freedom, the day of Jubilee! It is a day to reflect on our nation’s history, and a day to remember and acknowledge the lag in justice for Black lives. As a woman of West African and Jamaican descent, born and raised in Queens, New York, I admittedly did not grow up celebrating Juneteenth. I learned about Juneteenth after attending a festival held at our local cultural …

I was raised in a Lebanese and Mexican household with three brothers. Growing up, I felt suppressed and was told how women should act and what we can and cannot do. But since I am stubborn, outspoken, and strong-willed, I proved, not only to myself but to others, that the expectations the world has for women are not always right. By sharing a few of my accomplishments while working at the TMX Finance® Family of Companies, maybe I can inspire other women, girls, and -most importantly -my daughter to take action, work hard for what they want, keep their heads …

I love El Día de los Reyes Magos (Three Kings’ Day) because it is the last tamalada, the word we use for big parties that consist of making tamales, of the year. This has been a tradition in my family as far back as I remember. Growing up, my family celebrated el Día de los Reyes Magos by gathering at the house of one of the tías. As we got older, my sister and I hosted the Rosca de Reyes (Three Kings’ Bread) celebration. On this day, we buy a huge loaf of bread, in the shape of an oval …
