Profile
Name: LeighAnne Thomsen (29) Tribe Designation: Bompuka Current Residence: El Dorado, AR Occupation: Fruit Farmer Interview: „Hey, y’all! My name is LeighAnne Thomsen, I am 29 years old and I work as a fruit farmer in a small town called El Dorado, Arkansas. My whole life, I’ve spent on a farm. My father was a preist and my mom was a competitive bullrider, I guess you could say, so I have a lot of experience workin‘ in the outdoors and I have a very good work ethic. When I was 17 years old, my mom was diagnosed with brain cancer and she passed away six months later. That was the hardest time of my life, because you need your mom when you’re a teenage girl and, suddenly, my mom wasn’t there anymore. But I feel like that also made me emotionally strong because through that at such a young was the toughest thing you could ever go through as a child. After my mom passed, my dad wanted to close off the farm that I grew up on but I wasn’t willin‘ to let my last memory of my mom be taken away from me so I said that I would take care of the farm and I became the owner. I had to drop out of school and put everythin‘ I had into keepin‘ the farm in a respectable state and I pride myself on bein‘ able to do that. Southern charm, well, I definitely do think that I am a likable person but sometimes…I can be a bit overly talkative, like my mouth just keeps on goin‘ a million miles an hour and I’m not able to step back and tell myself that I am probably drivin‘ the others around me nuts. So, I’ll definitely have to watch that. My mom always told me that who you are is your best product. So, I’mma be me out there but I also kind of have to look at the situation I am in and be able to mold. Because the people that have won this game in the past, they’ve been able to fly under the radar. But with a mouth like mine, it ain’t easy.“
