Batswadi Magazine’s Christmas issue features Tino Chinyani and son
Chatting “building an empire, fatherhood, and the realities of working in the entertainment industry”
Media personality, Tino Chinyani, covers the Christmas issue of Batswadi Magazine with his 1½-year-old son, Tiyani, chatting: building an empire, fatherhood, and the realities of working in the entertainment industry.
The 27-year-old father is building a legacy for his family, an empire that could change the narrative of brokenness and pain that is familiar in black communities.
Tino, like many individuals who are among the millennial generation of parents, seems to be emotionally and spiritually invested in correcting the ‘brokenness’ of the past by strengthening family, empowering children and changing social scripts about absent/emotionally unavailable fathers.
He shares: “I’m trying to change my family’s narrative. I’m trying to put health and wealth on my family’s name. I’m trying to break the chains of poverty and mental slavery.”
“Beyond it being about money and wealth, it’s also about the mental wealth that I’m trying to leave behind,” adds Tino.

“Tiyani is magical to me. That boy…that boy saved my life. I got to a point where I had done everything that I could’ve possibly wanted to do in my career but when Tiyani came into my life he showed me that I can still do so much more…” reveals Tino.
When asked about what message he’d like to leave for his son when he reads this in the future, he shares: “I’m proud of you. I wish nothing but the finest things in life for you. I can’t wait to show you the world my boy. I can’t wait to give you everything that is good and pure that the world has to offer and until I give it to you, I will not rest.”
