Tamara's first album Dear Oklahoma is a love letter to Oklahoma. According to the Tulsa World Tamara describes, "My work, my heart, my soul, my church, my spouse and my family are all in this state. The song asks “Why is it so hard to love us back?” The title track was written before gay marriage was legal in Oklahoma. Oklahoma’s ban on same-sex unions was deemed unconstitutional but public opinion in Oklahoma is still in transition. "My parents were born in Oklahoma. I was raised in Oklahoma. This song is an expression of the Oklahoma I know and love.” Rev. Lebak said. “I pray that this song will speak to the hearts and minds of those living in our state who may not realize that there are hardworking, religious people who share their heritage and their core values who are denied the freedom to marry. Marriage Equality happened in our state because the law was on our side. We still have love on our side. However, we may be the only state to have marriage equality without non-discrimination laws on the books. Oklahomans should be supporting Oklahomans, no matter who they love. This is my contribution.”
