This all began November 2021, when I was approached by Tamu Lawrence aka Tam Lawrence to be my PR person who could get me sponsored speaking engagements as well as a cooking & nutrition television show that would be aired on her networks.
The Press/Media Cover form states:

The Aart & Kingsley agency powers Exposure Network TV, Exposure Magazine, Exposure Podcast Community, and Keynote Magazine.

The first speaking engagement was for Northwestern Mutual, airing 1/13-14/2022. The next one was for Nationwide "Leading the Way" which cost $1,000 to participate not including her monthly fee. Following this was the PowHer event March 8, 2022. Another Nationwide Insurance Stage on March 26, 2022 which included another speaker's fee in addition to my monthly recurring fee.
Then there were additional trips to: Atlanta, Seattle, Milwaukee to tape reels to have Aart & Kingsley llc/Tam Lawrence present to sponsors for the TV show.
As of the penning of this complaint there have been no sponsors and no money received as promised.
In September I started asking questions and then by October I was blocked from all media outlets that I was paying for in order to move forward with the television show that was promised.
I sent an email on November 6, 2022 accepting her resignation based on her breach of contract by removing all my content from the network and still charging me for services not being rendered.
Now I find out that I am one of MANY who have been deceived with lies, false promises, services not being rendered, defamation, slander, and threats. In addition I found out that the 440 million households in 128 countries that she say distribution goes is completely a lie.
Knowing what has been imposed on me financially, psychologically, emotionally and physically, I do not want this to happen to anyone else so I urge you to use whatever means available to you legally to stop this predator.

Country of complaint: United States
There is no need to comment on what was witnessed, as it can be verified.
Wow! I never knew Vega had published such lies and deceitful content. Understandably, she would be upset that I ended our friendship or association. In the end, I believe it was the best decision for me. I wish Vega the best of luck and hope that she receives the same level of success and recognition she seeks. Wow, Vega, I once called you a friend, but you unexpectedly you held a heart filled with deceit. It’s unfortunate that you hurt people, but I forgive you.
This Minute Matters: The Test After the Help
The Messiness has a Way of Healing the Bridge by Exposing the Truth of the Matter. (watch video) https://youtu.be/u8uXq4C9XYc?si=Mq2N6GCu9xhtBKn7
“Sometimes, the test isn’t how people treat you when you’re helping them, it’s how you respond when they try to hurt you afterward.”
There’s a different kind of heartbreak that hits when the knife comes from a familiar hand.
You pour out your time, your talent, your money, and your spirit to see someone win and then one day, you find out they’ve used your kindness as a weapon against you.
At first, it stings. You replay every conversation, every act of generosity, every sacrifice you made trying to understand how something so pure got twisted into accusation.
But here’s the truth: the test didn’t happen when you were helping it started when they tried to hurt you.
Because grace doesn’t show up in good times; it shows up when you’re being lied on, misjudged, or misunderstood.
And right there, in that moment, you have two choices:
You can waste energy proving yourself to the wrong audience, or you can keep building in silence and let time reveal what character already knows.
I’ve learned the hard way your work, your consistency, and your peace will say what your words can’t.
You don’t need to clap back. You don’t need to explain your heart to people committed to misunderstanding it.
Your elevation is the loudest apology you’ll never have to give.
Let them talk.
Let them twist.
Let them post.
But you? Keep producing. Keep showing up. Keep standing in your truth.
Because truth has endurance. Lies need life support.
So when you’re faced with betrayal, remember this not every loss is a setback; sometimes, it’s a divine detox.
Your assignment didn’t end with their exit.
Your calling didn’t expire because they got bitter.
Your value wasn’t canceled by their version of events.
Keep moving, with grace and grit.
That’s how you pass the test after the help.
💭 Reflection Prompt:
When was the last time you were tested after helping someone?
What did that moment teach you about your own boundaries and your belief in yourself?

I learned valuable lessons from my experience with Charmene Vega, particularly from the day I regrettably allowed her into my life. She is a scorned woman, a victim of a sad divorce, who seeks to endlessly hurt others. While it is true that hurt people hurt people, and she attempted to hurt me, I genuinely wish her the best.
Chew on This,
Tam Lawrence
Every story has three sides: hers, mine, and then there’s the truth. The truth drives out all the other sides, creating a complete picture.
Charmene Vega, who claims to have a doctoral degree but is not actually a professional holding a Ph.d in nutrition (a imposter claiming to have earned a Ph.d calling me a predator), poses a problem to consumers but forgot to file a complaint against herself.
I am transparent about my intention to create short-form content that can cross-pollinate across all platforms with several other parities was a (failed investment) for us ALL.
As an older person, she has yet to understand that the network remains active and accessible to over 440 million households, although this number is inaccurate today due to the increasing use of smart devices. However, it’s remarkable to see Exposure Plus TV continuously breaking records on Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, Apple TV, and Android TV.
I met Vega through another party, and she paid to be on my stage through a third party. The third party earned 50% of the payment made to the network, not me directly. She falsely claims I was her PR representative- SHE signed a talent agreement, NOT A PR agreement- NONETHELESS- we NEVER entertained a PR agreement because she disclosed that she was financially broke, living off credit cards, and barely making ends meet. I gave her every opportunity to succeed, but her unethical behavior and inappropriate approach to my team, including an unwanted call, led me to walk away.
Despite her claims of having stories to share, I’m sure she has more photos, images, and messiness to reveal. I allowed her to stay at my home to help her avoid paying for a hotel.
Here’s the final public record: We all attempted to take a business venture that failed due to the ripple effect of hatred spearheaded by Vega after she was exposed and publicly recognized as an enemy within the collective. Without a doubt, I made a mistake. As a mature woman, I take responsibility for my actions. I should have had a sound contractual agreement that aligned with our vision and ensured that no party would attempt to deceive or call me a predator.
As she explained, she devours others like Che Brown, her former husband, who now I can see why he ran away. (The picture she shares is of me, who paid my travels to come to her to help her build her brand locally in Bakersfield. So, thanks, Vega, for sharing the photos. For the time spent, I would be owed $32,400 to this day. I never charged nor billed for the time and sessions I provided in her home. Although I appreciate the trip medical assistance, as she helped me understand how to eat related to GI issues I was experiencing.) In contrast, the predator who preys has yet to take responsibility for her own actions, but I wish that karma would join her in her mission to damage others.
However, I walk in complete joy these days. So I will not waste time on a petty battle.
For the record there was NEVER any court case nor was any money exchanged nor refunded. This is a complete lie, I ask that she cease and desist handling the matter in such a way and if she has receipts I look forward to see Vega in court at anytime.
