Welcome to Tiffany Tene',
A Lifestyle blog with a mission to uplift, educate, encourage, and inspire-through travel, photography, fashion, style, beauty, exploring various cultures, building multiple businesses, and through health, wellness, and spirituality.
*Diversity and African culture
*Studying the psychology behind European Colonization
*Supporting African Artists-music, art, dancers, performers, and designers
*Learning North South East and West African Languages:
(Arabic-Xhosa & Zulu-Swahili-Igbo)
My goal is to perform thorough research about Africa, through factual and proven documentaries, science, books, historical passages, through my own personal experiences and trips, and by talking with African elders.
I will be specializing in traveling to, and studying the beautiful continent of Africa-starting in East Africa- Dar es Salaam, Tanzania!
A Little Bit About Me
I was born on the Island of Corpus Christi, Texas, raised in The Bay Area-Fremont, California, and matured into my true authentic self, in the big metropolitan city of Houston, Texas.
I am a petite, late blooming, and naturally aging backwards 70's baby who has 5 beautiful children!
As a Librarian (Libra) with some Virgo tendencies, I have always been known to multi-task, and have my hands in several different cookie jars!
In addition to working on rebuilding my Independent Senior Care business, I am an e-commerce merchantess, a Natural Health Consultant, and a University Health Management student pursuing my bachelors degree, with a concentration in Health Services Administration.
When I’m not blogging, learning new skills, or trying to create other businesses-you can find me homeschooling my younger sons, listening to music, dancing to Amapiano, afro-beats, and reggaeton, shopping, watching foreign shows, delving into documentaries, or trying to find some hidden gems-while out blissfully exploring nature, beaches, and lakes!

CULTURE:
I grew up in a multicultural environment in Northern California. We call it a melting pot. I want to help rid ignorance, fear, and misconceptions, surrounding those who are not like you or me. There are a ton of events that we can participate in, and strong lifetime friendships that we can make with foreigners here in the US.

STYLE:
My own personal style is a mixture of boho-beach-island attire, ethnic, sexy, classy, preppy, vintage, and mood-(however I'm feeling.) I believe that your style preference is a representation of who you are, or who you want to become, or transition into. You have something to say to the world that goes way beyond words!
