Who am I?
I’m that girl who had no clue what she wanted to do with her life…until she was 33! But up until then, every decision I’ve made, the people I met along the way, all of the disappointments, the adventures, and achievements, have lead me to this very point in my life. The journey of course is not over. I feel like I am just getting started. And no, I’m not upset that it has taken me this long. I am who I am because of the journey.
I am wife to my college Sweetheart who still makes me all giggly after 24 years of knowing and loving him. I am a baby making machine...okay not so much. But I do have 3 little people who call me “Mom!” I still get a kick outta hearing that sometimes.
I am a cook, but more importantly, I love to eat! Okay, the truth is,... I'm a really good recipe follower! Which means that for every 3 to 4 meals that are surprisingly epic, there are about 1 or 2 that I totally bomb. And while I’m at it, I may as well mention that I am also house cleaner, dishwasher, laundry woman, chauffeur, homework helper, bottom wiper, tear dryer…the list goes on, but I think you get the point.
I am a believer that if you are blessed with a craft, talent, knowledge or even just your time,…never keep it to yourself. Share what you have, not for what you will get in return, but for the impact it may make in someone’s life.
I am a Stay at home-Momprenuer. So who am I??? I’m just Me…Thembi!

“It’s not just me coming to read,” she says. “I don’t like being the performer on stage. I’m like, get up here with me. We do this together. I have parents that jump in and are onstage with me."
