Tymiak Hawkins

Tymiak {Tie-meek} Hawkins is an inspiring author, advocate and speaker, known for his remarkable journey of resilience following a life-changing brainstem stroke. Despite being told by doctors that he may never walk unassisted, run, and would never play basketball again, Tymiak defied the odds, reclaiming his physical abilities and becoming a powerful voice for stroke recovery, perseverance, and embracing the healing process.

Beyond his personal recovery, Tymiak is passionate about empowering others to overcome their own obstacles—whether physical, emotional, or mental. His candid reflections on his journey, which he shares through speaking engagements and content, highlight the importance of patience, self-belief, and the mindset needed to thrive despite setbacks.

A loving husband, son, and brother, Tymiak draws strength from his family, who have supported him every step of the way. Today, he continues to inspire people across various platforms, reminding them that it’s not about the destination, but about working hard, staying committed, and enjoying the journey. He is also a proud advocate for occupational therapy, championing its role in rehabilitation and regaining independence.

As the keynote speaker for the New Jersey Occupational Therapy Association (NJOTA) conference, Tymiak will share his unique insights and offer a powerful message of hope, perseverance, and the transformative power of recovery.
