Tameeka, Trimenco
As with many founders, this began from something personal. There was a point for me, a kind of quiet but persistent pain where I knew something wasn’t right. We all carry different versions of that, shaped by our own stories, and mine was a deep sense that there was more I hadn’t yet reached.
I had left a successful teaching career and moved into the third sector, but even then, something still felt unfinished. What I eventually came to understand was that the thing I had always been good at; teaching could sit alongside something else that had been driving me for years: a relentless search for understanding, for wisdom, often through time, energy and personal investment in self-development.
That’s where Trimenco came from. A belief that self-development should be available to all, regardless of socio-economic barriers or life circumstances and particularly for women over 40, who are so often navigating significant transitions.
Our signature course, Becoming, sits at the centre of everything. It was the starting point, and everything has grown outwards from there.
Bringing that course to market felt huge. Self-doubt was never far away. But then 16 women signed up. Their trust especially during the uncertainty of the pandemic, when everything shifted onto this unfamiliar thing called Zoom was something I don’t take lightly. Sixteen became twelve, and from there, things began to take shape.
Now we are here: in our own building, in the same postcode where I was born and raised. What’s grown is more than a programme it’s a community. Complex, layered, and real. Women at different stages of understanding themselves, which is exactly how it should be and something I’m always committed to holding space for.
That evolution isn’t always easy. As Trimenco grows, so does the need for connection, for partnerships, for a wider network that can support and strengthen the work. That’s where KCSC came in.
They are like a steady pulse within the RBKC community. Through their meetings, networks and opportunities, our team has been able to connect, collaborate and build something wider than we could have done alone. One key partnership came after we were given a platform at their Health and Wellbeing meeting last year, leading to our work with The Reflection project, who now use our space and contribute to the community we’re building.
KCSC’s reach is extensive, but what stands out is how essential they are quietly holding together the infrastructure that allows organisations like ours to grow and connect.
And for us? We’re still, in many ways, a new puppy. We’re taking the time to refine and retune to make sure our offer, our services, and this space are sustainable and true to what we set out to do.
At its core, that hasn’t changed.
To support women through life’s transitions.
To create a space free from shame, blame, or pressure.
And to help them understand who they are becoming.
