Tamara Schwab is the Vice-Miss Germany 2024. She had a heart transplant in August 2021.

The 30-year-old never lost her faith in herself, not even through two near-death experiences and the diagnosis of incurable heart disease. “I always believe in a happy ending, even in the worst phases of life, and I am firmly convinced that everything got through so well because of my optimism,” she says. Tamara now teaches others this superpower, which is to stay positive even inThe worst phases. She describes her experiences in the book “Your heart, my organ donation – How organ donation gave me a second life” (mosaic, 224 pages, 18 euros, 18. pages) “FLAWLESS is boring.” Tamara isn't afraid of standing out or even falling out of line - on the contrary: “Flawless is boring," she said on the phone yesterday. She recharges her own inner battery in nature and while telling stories and writing.
