We recently connected with Temakha and have shared our conversation below.

Temakha, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Was there a defining moment in your professional career? A moment that changed the trajectory of your career?

My first career started with a trip to the mall with my Mother, Taunya Benton. As a thirteen year old, shopping as well as following the footsteps of my Mother’s great taste in fashion was nothing new, however, one fateful day opened a new door of development. Model Productions was conducting a talent search and as I walked into the entrance doors, visibly excited people wearing all black rushed to me with measuring tape and eager requests for my Mother to enter me in to the competition. She and my Father, Marcel, allowed and I won and went on to experience a successful career as a professional model for nearly two decades.

The turning point blind-sighted me. The day came where I was blessed to witness my peanut head blown up to giant proportions in Times Square New York as I was the principal for an internationally known hair care brand commercial. Standing at what I considered to be the highest point of my career, I was deeply aware of the inner ache that hipped me to the notion that even with my face in lights, I felt very dark and unfulfilled inside. It was then that I decided to turn my gaze from the outer world of appearances and incline my senses to an inner challenging and painful transformation that has blessed my life for the better.


Putting training and knowledge aside, what else do you think really matters in terms of succeeding in your field?

Great rest, excellent time management, and a high level of self love and reflection are key in succeeding in the field of mental health and overall wellness. I find that it is supremely important for me to maintain a clear and overflowing inner well to pour from into my various creative spaces of interest. The practice of patience, good stewardship, and sincerity have set my offerings with Abundaverse up for global success in unique and fulfilling way.
