Felicia Tallent – Interim President

Felicia Tallent has always been passionate about working with vulnerable populations. She has developed a heart to help people throughout her life, working with people in need both domestically and abroad. During her college years, she worked with at-risk youth and homeless populations, then was led abroad to continue serving people in other countries.  In 2006, she joined the City of Fort Worth’s Public Health Department, launching outreach programs for homeless populations. Three years later as those programs concluded, she transferred to the city’s Community Relations Department where she helped implement a women’s health initiative to curb infant mortality. A year later she joined the Fort Worth Police Department where she developed a passion for fighting human trafficking. In 2014, this led her to create the Tarrant County 5 Stones Taskforce, a community network engaged in collaborative efforts to end sex trafficking in Tarrant County. Today this coalition represents dozens of local organizations, regularly has 70-90 people participating each month, and is the focus of the Foundation’s support efforts. 

In 2017, Felicia was assigned to the FWPD’s Human Trafficking Unit as a Program Coordinator. In this role she leads the department’s anti-trafficking community outreach efforts through the 5 Stones Taskforce. Felicia holds a Bachelor’s degree in Christian Ministries and earned her Masters in Public Administration from Tarleton State University. Felicia has a loving husband and four beautiful daughters.
