I am a comedian, actress, entertainer, free spirit and I always like to see people with a smile on face. By the way Teeyi captain is a nick name which I gave to myself when I first started doing comedy on social media. I call myself captain because the title is frequently honorary, in some cases it has significant responsibility for strategy and teamwork, in addition I possess the following basic characteristics, I am mentally strong, have been criticised at some point within the community and outside for posting my skits on social media.

Zimbolinews: Does size matter?
Captain Teeyi: I don’t understand the question; therefore I am not in a position to answer.
Zimbolinews: How did you get started on Social Media?
Captain Teeyi: Mid 2014 was a very difficult period for me. I lost my loved one, was getting depressed, fortunately I recognised the symptoms at the earliest stage then I told myself that I was not going to accept or allow myself to be engulfed by depression, I had to find ways and means on how to combat boredom, deal with the situation not in a maladaptive coping mechanism but in a way which can install my happiness back. Although prior i had a Facebook account, I was not utilising it frequently due to busy schedules, also fear of becoming hooked and addictive to social media. I remember very well one afternoon I logged onto my FB account and came across some videos post which made me laugh on Zvirikufaya na keda. I liked and enjoyed all the videos which were on the platform and became addicted watching then daily. One day I did a video and sent it to Curtis Smith ( the founder of keda TV) to upload it on his page. It got so many viewers, there were a mixture of positive and negative comments but I never paid full attention to negative comments. We got the support from Curtis, he appealed to the general public not to write offensive comments, on all videos posted but some toxic viewers carried on despite, however, this did not stop me instead I became mentally strong as I found it to be a challenge. I was nominated one of the admin a position which I am forever grateful. So many things happened behind the screen/ curtains, we the crew behind keda TV used to communicate to each other and plan for the show. Mukoma Masimba used to write some scrips for me. I was popularly known on Keda TV Captain Teeyi Mukadzi wemakuwha. When keda TV closed down I carried on doing my skits on my Facebook page. I have my own page called Teeyi captain on Facebook. I also teamed up with Mbuya Riri and stitched and opened Boost raw talent page on Facebook. We encourage everyone from different walks of life to send us their videos showing talent or raw talent. The aim is to promote entertainment industry and to empower. So basically that’s how I started. Looking back I have always wanted to be an actress since I was 10 years, however circumstances did not allow due to number of factors which I am not willing to reveal at the moment.
Zimbolinews: Where do you get your sense of humour from?
Captain Teeyi: It comes natural. It’s in my blood.
Zimbolinews: What something you would like all your fans to know about you?
Captain Teeyi: I am a very nice person and I treat each individual with respect and dignity. I do not swear or use vulgar language.

Health Insurance for Self-Employed Workers
Health Insurance for Self-Employed Workers
Self-employed workers must find their own health coverage. Without an employer plan, choosing insurance can feel difficult. Health insurance for self-employed workers may include marketplace plans, private health insurance, spouse coverage, or small business plans.
The right plan depends on your income, medical needs, prescriptions, doctors, and budget.
What to Compare
When shopping for private health insurance, compare premiums, deductibles, copays, out-of-pocket maximums, prescription coverage, and provider networks.
A low monthly premium may look attractive, but high deductibles can become expensive if you need care.
Ways to Save
Self-employed workers may qualify for tax deductions or premium tax credits depending on income and location. Comparing health insurance quotes can help find better pricing.
Conclusion
Health insurance is important for protecting your finances. Self-employed workers should compare plans carefully before choosing coverage.
