Hello from Africa!

Hey!

People call me Tez or Teresa. I am a proud daughter of Kenya and am 33 years old. I am a scribe and a life coach who works with Clean Start Kenya. We are a social enterprise that seeks to break the chronic poverty -petty crimes - incarceration cycle, through a wholesome approach of well-being from spiritual nourishment to economic empowerment... By Inspiring. Empowering. Plus... Equipping the marginalized / vulnerable youth, girls, women, inmates & ex-offenders... by teaching them life skills, business entrepreneurship and creating jobs for them, hence improving their livelihoods by making them become decently self reliant. See more (http://cleanstart.co.ke) :)

Aside from the encouraging them as a life coach, I speak on their behalf. I usually choose a fiction approach when I write... To reduce the stigma that comes with being an inmate or an ex-inmate. I also write about random things like day to day life, motivational pieces and some erotica at times but usually it's chanting for the voiceless... For I know words have the power to change mindsets thus changing lives. My website which is under construction literally speaking, will be up soon. Can't wait!

There is joy in learning from others so please feel free share any positive tips that can make me a better person than I am today. My interests are limited to reading and writing (which takes hours of my life)... long solo walks and hiking (helps me think and I also love nature)... loads of good music and some dancing... charity work and motherhood (this defines me wholly)... watching rugby, soccer and documentaries on BBC and NatGeo(lol)

And many thanks to one @jerrybanfield for this video https://www.facebook.com/jbanfield/videos/1460116067341898/ which got here :) Too excited to be a part of Steemit... Let's do this!
