ABOUT TXEYA
Txeya – an unusual name for a remarkable woman
Txeya was named in honour of Theodora of Constantinople – the X-rated Cinderella you may have never heard of.
Born into poverty in Syria around AD500, Theodora rose from child actress / sex worker to become an Eastern Roman empress and one of the most powerful women in history. An early and ardent feminist, she worked for women’s marriage and dowry rights, anti-rape legislation and to stop pimps making their money from sex workers. Her laws banished brothel-keepers from Constantinople and from all the major cities of the empire.
So, when you hear Txeya, think of Thea and everything she achieved.
By the way: When you pronounce Txeya, the “x” is silent.
