Who is Tammy Rivera?

Her given name is Tammy Rivera Williams and she was born on July 30, 1986 in Baltimore, Maryland. Tammy spent her formative years in her birthplace with her African American mother, who single-handedly raised her after the unfortunate experience that landed her father, Oscar Rivera, in the prison where he served for 30 years.

According to reports, Tammy Rivera’s father is a genius Puerto Rican who immigrated to the United States with his parents when he was 4 and served in Vietnam when he was 18. He later went to Puerto Rico where he became part of activism focused on transforming his homeland into an independent communist nation.

He was later found guilty of seditious conspiracy and many other charges related to his nationalist activities and consequently sentenced to 30 years in prison. During the time of his father’s judgment, Tammy Rivera was unable to get to know him, which caused a huge rift between them and her father, who thought his daughter didn’t love him. But his daughter, who didn’t know Oscar, couldn’t wait for her father to get out of prison as she planned to shower him with all the love he’d been missing out on.

That day had come for Tammy in 2016 when she revealed that she was about to meet her dad for the first time and it’s amazing to know how much he loves her. Something she had already learned from her mother.
