Success isn't just about titles. It's about alignment, courage, and taking time to sit quietly with yourself. Gloria Temba lives that truth out loud.
It's easy to see a project manager, doctoral student, entrepreneur, and mother of two and assume she just holds it all together effortlessly. This conversation pulls back the curtain on the real journey, a Tanzanian-born leader whose story embodies resilience, discipline, and faith-driven transformation. Gloria opens up about what it actually takes to balance motherhood, leadership, and ambition while staying grounded in purpose.
Who she is: Gloria is a Tanzanian-born healthcare IT project and program manager, a doctoral student, an entrepreneur, and a mother of two. She didn't arrive here on an easy path, she built it through resilience, discipline, and faith.
What she does: She leads healthcare IT projects and programs, runs her consulting firm Bama Technology, and homeschools her son, all at once.
What she believes: That success isn't about titles, it's about alignment and courage. She's an advocate for mental health, the power of rest, and the beauty of unlearning and relearning as both a parent and a professional.
How she works: With discipline and intention. Gloria manages her time around what matters, honors rest instead of grinding through it, and leads from a grounded sense of who she is.
