Telli Swift takes over!

Telli Swift is a mother, television personality, podcaster, entrepreneur, and founder of the non for profit organisation, Boxing Wags Association. Born in the Philippines and raised in Japan, she began her career as a plastic surgery post-operative care nurse in Los Angeles, California. She then transitioned into an ER nurse in New Jersey until she put her career on hold to focus on her family. Telli and her fiancé, champion boxer Deontay Wilder, are raising her two children, a 15-year-old son and a 3-year-old daughter, along with 6 bonus children- a small army some would say!

Telli starred in the reality television series Wags Atlanta which launched on E! back in 2018. She is an entrepreneur with many business ventures under her belt including her latest podcast, TelliTalks. The podcast is on its second season and is known for Telli’s real and raw conversations about life, business, relationships, and all things in between. TelliTalks began in December 2020 kicking off her first interview with Christy Buss, a skincare entrepreneur and a proud member of the Lakers family. Telli likes to ask the questions that allow her guests to open up about their difficulties like life during a pandemic and their journey that got them to where they are today.

As the founder of the BWA, Telli helps the organisation coordinate and host annual events to raise money and promote awareness around important issues in the community. The BWA’s latest event happened on the 10th of July and this year’s mission was to support and raise money for autism. They were lucky enough to work alongside another charity called Brighter Future which is a non-for-profit organisation devoted to enriching and empowering the lives of the families and adults diagnosed with autism in the community.

Telli and fiancé Deontay have recently launched an exciting new venture D’Telli Fragrances, a unisex fragrance that is like non-other. Make sure to follow her on Instagram to be the first to hear about it!
