Twenty-year-old Tia Timpson was your typical, hard-working college student and then the unthinkable happened. One otherwise normal day, she had a massive stroke that paralyzed her left side.
Timpson was rushed to the hospital but her care was delayed by critical moments because the staff wrongly diagnosed her with “altered mental status.” Even the medical community didn’t associate stroke symptoms with a 20-year old.
At a second hospital, attempts to break up the clot in her brain with medication failed, and doctors had to remove half her skull and surgically remove the clot. This would be the first of six surgeries Timpson would face over the past few years—with one more scheduled this fall. But Timpson’s spirit is indomitable. Her “glass-half-full” attitude helped her get out of a wheelchair and walk a 5K race less than a year after the stroke.
“It’s typical to get sympathy when I explain all these surgeries to people,” Tia says. “But I tell people not to feel sorry for me. I am lucky to have access to good care and I will do whatever it takes to get back to my pre-stroke self.”
She has also had several consecutive surgeries on her left arm to get it moving again. But Timpson sees a bright spot among the challenges.
“I’m so thankful that I am right-handed, and all the problems I have are on my left side,” she says.
While her mother followed Timpson with a wheelchair that entire first 5K race— just in case—she never stopped to use it. Timpson’s father has also been key to her recovery. They wake up at 5AM each day to do physical therapy together before work.
Staying committed to therapy is the main advice Timpson shares with stroke survivors.
“I tell people nothing will change if you don’t fight for your recovery,” she says. “You have to fight every day for who you want to be again. This applies to people who have survived all kinds of setbacks in life, not just a stroke.”
While Timpson’s positivity and work ethic have been essential to her success, she’s quick to point out that faith is involved, too. She credits an elderly woman at her church who suffered a stroke years ago with inspiring her to get up and walk again.
“She told me things are so different now and I can recover from this because of all the advancements in care today,” Tia says. “She made me see that I am blessed and my life didn’t have to be this way.”
Today Timpson is continuing the college education she was forced to abandon because of the stroke. She plans to focus on her recovery and her future, including completing her finance degree online, obtaining a master’s in sports business and inspiring other women to know the risk factors and warning signs for stroke.
“I’ve learned that stroke can happen to anyone at any age, but it’s not going to stop me,” she says. “I’m going to keep fighting—every day.” —Elizabeth Moreno, Go Red for Women, American Heart Association

Ebony and Jet magazines, based in Chicago for decades, will have a major presence in Atlanta, the company announced Monday.
Both magazines filed for bankruptcy liquidation in June, 2020, and the assets were sold to Bridgeman Sports and Media for $14 million from Clear View Group, a private equity firm. Former NBA star Ulysses “Junior” Bridgeman and his family also run restaurant franchises and a Coca-Cola bottling group.
Bridgeman’s 34-year-old daughter Eden Bridgeman was tasked with running the two brands. She in turn hired veteran media executive Michele Ghee last month to oversee the day-to-day operations of Jet and Ebony.
“We want to showcase American history from the past 75 years,” said Eden Bridgeman in an exclusive interview Monday with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “People have kept boxes of old Ebony and Jet magazines. It means something to them. It means something to our culture. It’s a legacy that needs to continue. We want to be able to sustain the brands for generations to come and remain a voice for our culture.”
She said they hope to expand the two brands beyond just a digital media property and use them in other ways such as branded conferences, shows and festivals.
The executives have not decided definitively on where official headquarters will be, but they are planning a major presence in Atlanta, where the new chief financial officer is based. For now, newly hired employees are working remotely during the pandemic. They plan to lease or purchase office space in metro Atlanta at a later date.
Currently, Ghee lives in New Jersey while Bridgeman is based out of Columbus, Ohio. But they plan to spend a lot of time in Atlanta.
“Atlanta is the birthplace of the civil rights movement and the current epicenter of Black culture,” Ghee said. “I worked at CNN for six years and I’d come down every month. I understand how important this community is as it relates to content and content production. Think about the past election and how the city moved an entire nation. We are aware of that. We know how important it is to have a major presence there.”
Ghee, who has worked at the Weather Channel and BET as well, said as a little Black girl in Oakland, California, in the 1960s and 1970s, she would read Ebony on Sundays and stories from the magazine would be grist for conversation during Sunday dinner. “It was our source of news,” she said. “So this is a full-circle moment for me.”
Both Ebony, which launched in 1945, and Jet, which launched in 1951, became pillars of African-American culture, documenting the civil rights movement, the biggest Black stars of the day and the shifting fashion scene. Black entrepreneur John H. Johnson ran the magazines for decades.
Ebony was a more in-depth magazine, modeled early on after Life magazine and featured an annual “100 Most Influential Blacks” list. Jet was a smaller-format, quicker read style and was known for its “Jet Beauty of the Week.”
But like a lot of magazines, both suffered from aging demographics and erosion of their ad base.
Jet’s final print edition came out in 2014 while Ebony last printed an issue in 2019.
Bridgeman believes both brands still carry a lot of power, even in 2021, as long as they are leveraged properly. She sees Jet targeting a young demographic with Ebony remaining the standard-bearer for news and commentary.
Without providing specifics, Ghee said she wants to shore up the foundations of both brands before building them out. Her three buckets of inspiration are bold, brilliant and beloved.
“The bold is the hard news, the politics and news that will move your life,” Ghee said. “The brilliant is the culture and lifestyle pieces. The beloved is our tradition of uplifting and educating our readers.”
They hired three former Ebony/Jet employees who understand the history of the brand and will use a coterie of freelancers to fill out the website. They also hired a social media expert to ensure the brands get seen on social media.
