I consider myself the most electrifying woman to ever grace the tobacco fields and cucumber patches of Richlands, North Carolina. My birth name is Tawana Humphrey, but because I am from a small town, no one knows anyone by their “real name.” A few of the names given to me are, Hot Hen, Hen Stren, Squirrel, and the most famous known by all of the town’s people, Puddin. As you can see Puddin seemed to offer the least amount of embarrassment, so there we have it. I have three children of my own, Soraya (Ray-Ray) 15, Shayvon (Scootie) 10, and Sikia (Kiki) 7. Also, I helped raise a cousin of mine that came to live with me when he was 12 years old. Even though there is only an eight year difference between us two, I still feel like he is my child. My children considers him as their big brother which help keep those motherly feelings stirred up. Being a mother of three and living here in Richlands, we stay very busy participating in the Onslow County Recreational programs. Almost year round, my life is consumed with baseball/ softball jersey’s, basketball uniforms, and football pads. My daughter Kiki is the only girl in the entire flag football league! I was a little weary about her playing at first. I was just hoping that she would get on a team that look past the fact that she was a girl. Much to my surprise, she did! Our season is almost up, so I will definitely keep you all posted on how the season ends!
