An unmatched comedy genius who's taking the USA by storm
Tumi Morake

South Africa's First Lady S of Comedy' has come a long way from her initial stand-up comedy years, to breaking through the tough commercial and corporate barriers, even establishing herself as a world-class writer, entertainer, and aspirational figure of success. The Mr Bones 3 actress moved to Atlanta Georgia in the USA back in February to settle down with her beautiful family and grow her career and what an exciting transition it has been thus far!

HOW HAS THE MOVE TO THE USA BEEN? ARE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY SETTLED IN YET?

It's been great. I get to be a housewife (LOL). The focus during this first year has been settling the kids in. They've now found their respective tribes and we already had a couple of friends and family members this side. So, the transition hasn't been too lonely. I do, however, miss the warmth and hospitality of SA. I will definitely visit a lot, though, because I have a lot of personal and spiritual work that calls me home.
