Téa Smith

My name is Téa. No, it’s not a nice name and it isn’t exotic. I am a living, breathing example of bogan baby names. That’s it, I’m afraid.

I piss people off and thats a good thing. Because I piss off the right sorts of people. I am a feminist, an activist, a writer, a loudmouth, a smart arse. The majority of people find me hard to define and I like it that way.

I am most likely smarter than you. I am apparently quite influential and popular, but most of the time I feel lonely.

I do cool stuff, strategic stuff, left-of-centre stuff. And I am good at it. I like to write and I have about half of 5 degrees.

My name is in Hansard.

I am currently separated after marrying far too young, and because I work ridiculous hours, I only see my 3 babies on weekends. Yes, that’s hard and FUCK YOU I am still a good mother. I am a lot of different things to a lot of different people. I am doing more speaking gigs and consulting and I love it – mostly because I love the sound of my own voice. But I doubt you’re surprised.
