�Recently a young mother asked for advice. What, she wanted to know, was she to do with a 7-year-old who was obstreperous, outspoken, and inconveniently willful? "Keep her," I replied.... The suffragettes refused to be polite in demanding what they wanted or grateful for getting what they deserved. Works for me.� ---ANNA QUINDLEN

Thandiwe Kewfilwe
In 1997, Nigeria was both economically and politically injured due to different military factions fighting internally. It was at this time an adolescent Thandiwe was imprisoned for taking part in a coup to overthrow the government, and while escaping and finding refuge; she began to exhibit the activism that many applauded her for. The promise of capture would not stop Thandiwe�s passionate activism for human rights and women�s liberation. At a special session on peace at Addis Ababa, Thandiwe urged females to be strong and independent, �If Women belong in the house, then we belong in the Senate.� Thandiwe vivid personality captured both the hearts of many and the government's attention; she was held captive yet again. Three years after her release and she has been the bestselling author of several books, her political memoirs being one of them. With founding the Youth and childcare foundation and promising aspirations of becoming leader of the free world, this ambitious woman is more than ready to take on the challenges of motherhood.

Thandiwe definately leads most of the protests at city hall!

Additional Credits:
Thank-you !
A big shout out to everyone at CFF

. Especially to Jessica2020, Arisuka, Hysterical Paroxysm, fanseelamb, and nene1234 for their constructive feedback.

Inspiration
I'm not a flaming feminist,however, that is because I live in a country where my equality standards are met. I can empathize with people who are not granted same privilleges and liberties. I most certainly admire people who stand up for their rights ,especaily in difficult times! This, in essence, is the inspiration behind Thandiwe

I am also inspired by the political activism & works of the nigerian first lady Stella Obasanjo and Malcom X (I love me some malcom X

)

Thandiwe started off as me trying to recreate my mom, but with a few changes you became a completely different person

. So I give credit and thanks to my mom for Thandiwe's outside eye corners,nostrils, cheekbone shape, forehead ,and ears. I alsowant to thank to my aunt for her cheekbone height and chin.

I don't suppose she would be on your to-do list, Freedom? LOL. You do fantastic work.

* hint hint* hmmm? who is Thandi newton? an actress huh? *googles*omg O_O she is beautiful!
not only does she have the same name as Kewfilwe but she has some of the same features as well. making realistic "other" sims take time, much less embarking on celebritites. That and me being some what of a perfectionist with sim creating, leads to me having settled on only putting some the elite few on my profile. And even then I have doubts!

.I make no promises, but I think I can totally make her

thanks for wicked "request"! talk about making me an offer I can't refuse!

[QUOTE =olomaya] Hahaha, gotcha! J/k. Thanks for the quick response, I thought it sounded Swahili. Beautiful name and Sim nonetheless. I'm glad I caught this on the My Sims 3 blog. I checked out your other Sims and really like how they are not "beauty stereotypes" (that might sound like a backhanded compliment but it's actually just a straightforward compliment) and are all very unique. I hope this is just the first of your African Sims.[/QUOTE]

Aww thank-you and I accept your compliment

my sims are on sims 3 blog?! I totally have to check it out sometime.

Oh wOw guys !thanks for continuing to give me such lovely comments and feedback!

HaphazardSim	Awesome work!

summersong86	She is stunning. The cheekbones are what really get to me. When I was in the hospital a few months ago a lot of the nurses were immigrants from various countries in Africa and I noticed they had the most beautiful cheekbones. I used to sculpt in clay and I was so badly wanting to sculpt a likeness of any one of the ladies. LOL--unfortunately I was in the hospital for surgery to save one of my hands! So much for sculpting anything. And I forgot what else I was going to say about your beautiful sim because my husband and five year old are about to bust in on me and my computer time even though it's nearly 1 a.m.

CatherineSimmer	She's lovely. I think I'll give her a job in my game as a professor in the college I'm planning to fake . . . er, set up . . . for my Sims. Thank you for sharing her! Also, thank you for tipping me off that one of my all time fave hairstyles has been converted. :-D

omg. your " half story" is litterally bringing tears to my eyes

as I write this( don't worry the good kind). I was hoping you could finish such a uplifting story. I 'm glad you can relate to Thandiwe, it gives me reason to continue creating sims ! I'm so touched

@ Catherine
- Your welcome ^_^. It sucks sims 3 has no community lots like in the sims 2 yet.

escand	the most realistic default eyes out there. <--can I just die and go to heaven? that's so sweet. Anyways, I think she's so gorgeous. And such a face! She's very model material. So great. Yes, those cheekbones are great... Where do I start? Anyways, I love it.

Bow_Chicka_Bow_Wow	The page for the MATY shows up as an error "The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you." I'm not sure which problem it is, but I do have an account with that site and as I look at the error I am signed in. I downloaded a retextured version of the hair just to have it, but Thandiwe doesn't show up in my create-a-sim bin.

hmm, thats very weird. i update the link page, you might want to try this
hair--> http://kittehbomb.blogspot.com/2010...o-headband.html
since its the exact same mesh. it should work. It also helps to download the hair first and then the siim .If the problem persists please fell free to pm me

And hopefully that will solve sisofthemoon's and others problems as well
