TEDxUtrechtUniversity - Thembi Tobie - Thembi Wines
Thembi Tobie joined the wine industry in 2005. In 2009 she launched Thembi (a 100% black owned and fairtrade company) in the Netherlands in 350 stores. Her wine is doing very well in Holland (in particular Thembi Chenin Blanc) which increased by 200% after it got rated three stars by the Wijnalmanak, the most widely read guide for wine.

Thembi's name means hope, faith and belief - hope for a better life, belief that nothing is impossible. ´I believe that charity begins at home, but should not end there. We should be the change that we want to see - we live in a global village, hundreds of tourists in Cape Town every month.´ Her vision stretches further than merely promoting a brand. She sees herself in the role of educator and wine ambassador for communities with no wine culture. There are an increasing number of women with disposable income and a hunger to try new things. As an entrepreneur she would like to inspire and empower other young 'up and coming' black woman not to give up on their dreams, not to be intimidated by the fact that the wine industry is white and male dominated, but to be able to identify opportunities and strive on challenges - a trailblazer
