We had the good fortune of connecting with Afefe Tyehimba and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Afefe, what’s the most important lesson your business/career has taught you?
Going back to my former career as a newspaper reporter through today as a metaphysical healer and life coach, the most important lesson has been relatability! No matter how different our individual backgrounds and stories maybe, we all want to be accepted and seen without judgment or comparison. As a reporter, the more relaxed my subjects became around me, the better my ability to ask the right questions and write the best in depth features. As a tarot reader, the same principal applies – by approaching all clients with genuine interest and impartiality, I’m able to receive and share relevant spiritual insights

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
As a tarot reader and healer, I am always working to sharpen my skills and find ways to connect with a broad spectrum of people. Metaphysical studies is a crowded and often confusing field, so I’ve worked hard to establish myself as someone who is trustworthy and knowledgeable. As an elder, I have found that there are added privileges because the assumption is I’ve been some places and done some things so I know a little something! At the same time, I enjoy youth culture and try to keep an open mind so I can grow with my audiences.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
South Florida is all about no limits when it comes to food, entertainment and nature, so it would be easy to plan an itinerary from daytime to nightlife to keep guests busy and excited.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Hands down, I have to shout out my daughter, Noelle. With typical Sagittarius optimism, Noelle always made me want to step up to the plate and meet any challenges head on. I wanted her to be proud of me despite my flaws, and she has been and continues to be my biggest source of inspiration.
