The Buzz Hour & The Roundtable Dialogues) as platforms to have Dialogues with Women who strive to adopt the Lioness Mentality in giving birth to a Pride that will build generational legacy for Afrika.

She was 20 years when she embarked on the journey of entrepreneurship in 1994 as a second year University student.  She started making money part time with her fashion design hobby which she self taught using a toy sewing machine, a size of a 2L carton, that her mama bought her.  That toy machine designed clothing for her Varsity mates and gave birth to a fashion brand called Hayworths Clothing.  Hayworths grew from 1995 into a business that employed more than 30 people and rented a whole floor with two wings of the Eastern Cape Development Agency (ECDC) building in Mthatha in 1999.  This is where the passion of Women Empowerment started as Hayworths's mission was to empower women while working as a collective.

Hayworths Clothing won her fashion awards in 1995 from the Battle of Designers Fashion Show founded by Sonwabile Ndamase, the originator/inventor of the Nelson Mandela 'Madiba' shirt. Her clothing range also

attracted a lot of attention from other Fashion Shows and Beauty Pageants like Miss Mthatha in 1995, organised by Vuks & Zintle Mantanga.  

In 1999, she had to choose between staying in her 2 Year Teaching job or quit teaching and be a full time Entrepreneur.  Her passion for empowerment & finding solutions for human challenges decided her fate.  She quit her University Tutoring position and dropped out her English Honours Degree studies, pursued her entrepreneurship.  This decision coincided with her mental breakdown which resulted in hospitalisation in Johannesburg Helen Joseph Psychiatric Ward in 1999 and diagnosis of Severe Depressive Disorder caused by a 2 year marital abuse.

After recovering from the depression attack, she fiercely adopted the Lioness survival mentality, with one mission in mind, to discover & empower other Lionesses undergoing the same challenges and as a collective of Womenity Tribe, give birth to a Powerful Pride.

The rest of other ventures Tami got involved in thereafter in the Retail, Media, Technology, Finance, Automobile sectors, were all self taught out of curiosity, determination and passion, led by a visionary mind.
