Teni refuses to fit into one box. In this sit-down, she talks about her versatility, her humour, and why she chooses to live by her own standards rather than anyone else’s expectations. Behind the jokes and energy, she opens up about writing a song inspired by losing her father when she was just two years old after he was assassinated. It’s a reminder that authenticity is what makes her stand out: being able to make people laugh, while also telling the truth about the hardest parts of her life.
