Taffi's Mission to enagage inspire, uplift, and empower women.
Long before the #MeToo movement, Taffi Dollar was already one of America’s most passionate advocates for lightning rod issues, including gender equality, female unity, alleviating social stigmas, and the overall empowerment of women everywhere. As an entrepreneur, business and spiritual leader, best-selling author, teacher, and motivational speaker, Tami has been a dynamic force for change and transformation long before it was a movement.
One of the keys to Taffi’s enduring influence is her ability to temper her deeply-lived wisdom and expertise with grace and humility. Her willingness to humble herself, learn, and open her eyes to radical new ways of thinking has led her to a dynamic new plateau as a teacher and author these past few years.
While speaking at Rhema Church’s annual Women’s Conferece in South Africa, Taffi sat on a panel that discussed sexism, gender inequality, marital rape, and other moral crimes perpetrated against women every day. During the conference, she worked with shelters and victims of domestic violence, and found that one of the greatest factors contributing to these abusive situations was a patriarchal and male-dominated interpretation of Scripture.
This journey of discovery led her to write Gender Roles, a watershed book that is now foundational in her teaching and motivational speaking. This work aims to share a new understanding of how God views gender equality.
“Your gender should not dictate your role in society or the home—instead, your individual gifts should determine that. I want to help women come out of the damaging, traditional thinking that keeps them subservient in domestic and workplace situations.”
Her follow-up book, The Grace of Mutual Submission, is a “tell-all” discussion of gender issues, the meaning of submission, and an exploration of how God wants us to live and relate to each other.
With “biblical equality”, Taffi introduced her readers to an understanding of genders as equal in creation, value, and dominion as instituted in God’s original and perfect design for humanity. This idea informs her discussion of concepts such as “egalitarianism,” the interpretation of gender roles based on biblical equality, and “complementarianism”, the search for equality of men and women in dignity, in value, and as God’s image. Taffi guides readers through newly unveiled and enlightened understandings of timeless stories with powerful and empowered female characters that reveal God’s true intention for women.
Born from her passion for restoring family relationships and inspiring communities, Taffi founded the non-profit organizations, Radical Women’s Ministry and Prestige Ministry to promote unity and sisterhood, and establish an outreach created to reach women involved in the adult entertainment and sex trade industries.
Prestige Ministry reaches women by engaging with women who work at adult establishments, building rapport, and offering counseling. Taffi and her crew have transformed the lives of hundreds of women, helping them get off drugs, alleviate their guilt, build self-esteem and, in some cases, even get their families back and start their own businesses.
Since the early 2000s, Taffi has also served as CEO of Arrow Global Entertainment, a cutting-edge, faith-based entertainment company that consists of Arrow Records, Arrow Soul, Arrow Studio, and Arrow Entertainment.
