Thembi’s blog is informative on a wide range of issues but what I love the list about it is that it’s really provocative you are never ready for the truths that will leave you shaking. And I love love Thembi.
Thembi’s blog is a rare find on the internet. Everything posted online seems to have a filter and honesty is hard to find, until now. Her blog reminds me that the truth matters, I can hear her voice in each piece and it whispers I’m not alone. Her writing reminds me that there is no final destination in becoming a better person, it’s a continuous process that we must work at daily.
“Bold, unedited, honest and eye opening! Thembi Terry’s blog uniquely takes you though her everyday encounters and life lessons we can all relate to and learn from. A rare voice for the young African man or woman discussing everything from love , sex , beauty and even witchcraft! Entertaining and informative! I definitely enjoy kicking it with TT.”
“Everytime I get a notification that Thembi Terry has blogged I get excited because I absolutely love reading her posts. She tackles real life issues, she’s open and honest making her relatable and goes to show that life goes on and that you can overcome anything you set your mind to.She’ll tackle real life issues and share her experiences but won’t bum us out. The use of GIFs add comic relief but it gets the point across.”

For the past couple of weeks I’ve been down with a bug. Yesterday it got so bad that I finally went to the clinic with Mr. W.

There are two things that I don’t respond to. The first one is texts in shorthand and the second one is my name spelt wrong. The latter really makes my blood flow backwards.

Imagine minding your own business just trying to get by and someone keeps roping you into a race that you didn’t sign up for.

They say black women are loud, but did you know that psychologically people that speak the loudest and have no sense of an indoor voice are people that are dying to feel heard and being loud makes them feel like they are increasing their chances of that?
