Tamy believes“ Being a woman means being a pillar of strength to those around you, it means being a fighter because society and nature has seen to it that women be deemed the lesser sex. It means being a Hey Craig, working twice as hard as the male to prove your relevance in social structures and hierarchies.
Being a woman is beauty in itself. The way i was created, the way i look and carry myself is something many but most importantly i, myself appreciate. She also says“ The 21st century woman is much more recognised in societal structures and is being empowered day by day, with so many girls seeing through their education and venturing into careers that once were meant for male species. I for one am a female artist and its empowering to be recognised amongst other artists both male and female, young and old.”
Tamy highlighted that she is active in women empowering initiatives and said“ I have initiatives I ' m involved in. As it is I ' m working with Culture fund to bring awareness in local communities on Sexual Reproductive Health matters with 7 other young girls. Educating young girls in rural communities through different means, mine being more on the musical aspect but also brainstorming with the other girls on how to go about the project”
“ My career has progressed on quite well. Obviously not without its hiccups and challenges but i thank GOD its working out well. I am honoured and humbled to be named one of Zim ' s power women. I ' m grateful to everyone who has realised the potential in me and acted upon it. I do hope and pray that i can inspire more women and girls in their different paths and walks. I pray i do live up to such a heavy title”
My special story is basically my life in itself. I started off as a very young girl and I’ ve grown to be where i am as an artist and as a young woman. I faced a lot of discouragement and rejection because i was really young, but i carried on and i managed to finish high school and still pursue my love for music. It wasn ' t easy trying to balance the two but GOD saw to it that it went well.
I still have a long way to go in life and as an artist. I’ m still on a quest to discover who i am and challenges never stop coming my way. But im alive and still going. hats my story still in the making each day i live To the modern woman. Keep working hard and strive to be the best at what you do.
Whether its being a doctor, lawyer, artist, chef or mother sister. Be the best you can and realise your worth before anyone else can do that for you. Appreciate and compliment one another not do down on each. Above all pray
