Tausi in a joyous moment with her kids

She is famously known as a Goodwill Ambassador for Tanzania. Her name is Tausi Likokola, one of the most successful international models that Tanzania has ever produced. In her modeling career, she has graced the catwalk stages of international shows and showcased some of the most renowned labels such as Gucci, Escada, Tommy Hilfiger, Christian Dior, Issey Miyake and many more.

However, Tausi is not just a model or a Goodwill Ambassador for Tanzania. She is an activist, an author and a mother. She is the founder of the not-for-profit organization, Tausi AIDS Fund, which supports prevention and awareness programs against HIV/AIDS in Africa. It is actually her efforts to support prevention and awareness of HIV/AIDS in Africa that landed her the title of a Goodwill Ambassador for Tanzania as a recognition and encouragement from the Government of Tanzania.

Recently, Tausi added yet another book in her list of books that she has authored. Her most recent book is titled The Touch of An Angel. About this book, Tausi says; “This is the closest and most private part of my life. This is my story of loss and how I am reconciling that loss. This is a memoir of my angel, AMANI. It is a story of life’s joy and pain”.

    Asante sana Michuzi kwa kutuhabarisha.
    Kitu muhimu kwa waandishi wa habari wanapoandika habari fulani juu ya star fulani wajitahidi kutumia taaluma ya uandishi kwa kujibu maswali yale matano (5w), vinginevyo tunabaki na maswali mengi yasiyojibika. Hapa mojawapo ya maswali Tausi yuko wapi, nchi gani kwa sasa, single mom or Mrs fulani, nk. hayo husaidia hata wanaowasiliana naye kumpa hadhi yake anayostahili.

    @ may 18 3:21pm wee weee acha umbea na majungu..Unataka kujua yote kasome huko ulikoambiwa...
    Wabongo bwana ukijua yupo wapi na nchi fulani ndio utamuheshimu zaidi au la?
    Ukiambiwa ni single mom itakubadilisha nini katika kumweshimu mtu....Heshima ni heshima sio kufuta culture norms na tradition myths zenu.

    Kwa wewe kama unaona mtu anayeishi mahali fulani ndio anaheshimika zidi kuliko anyeishi nchi fulani bado hujaelimika...

    Na kama unaona mwanamke aliyeolewa ni bora kuliko single mom bado hujaelimika bado unahitaji kuelimika saana...

    Tembea uone unachoona ni normal kwa wenzako sio normal ndugu yangu
    Mpe heshima yake kwanza kwa hayo tu uliyoambiwa hapo juu...Ni author, international super model, goodwill ambassador na ni mama.....mtu ....
