SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA: '90 Day Fiance' actress Kimberly Menzies made her TLC debut alongside now-boyfriend and rapper Usman "SojaBoy" Umar — but the San Diego native's career history shows she's accustomed to being in control. So, what did Kim do before she became famous on reality TV, and what is she up to these days?
Apart from making a livelihood in 2022 by featuring in '90 Day Fiancé' with her partner Usman "Sojaboy" Umar, Kim Menzies has a great new full-time job. Kim Menzies, star of the '90 Day Fiancé' franchise, has disclosed a surprising new job in San Diego. Before making her franchise debut, Kim, 50, DM'd Usman "Sojaboy" Umar, 32, on Twitter after becoming an admirer of his music.

Usman took a long time to agree to Kim's requests, but even then, he had stipulations before making her his wife. Usman wants to remarry a younger woman who would bear him a child, but his family is opposed to him marrying Kim, who is comparable to his ex-wife Lisa Hamme.
What does Kim do for a living?
Kim considers convincing Usman's family to let him marry her the most nerve-racking event of her life, aside from fighting in Operation Desert Storm. Fans are aware that Kim previously worked as a military lady, but as of 2022, her latest position is more relaxed. Kimberly worked in the restaurant and hospitality industries for more than ten years before capturing her international romance.
Before her reality TV debut, the TLC alum worked as a service manager at Mimi's Cafe in San Diego, California, according to her LinkedIn page, and she was supposedly still employed there until October 2022. Kim's post with the wonderful news is accompanied by a graphic prepared by her employer greeting her. It mentions Kim's desire to make people happy. Giving back to the community makes Kim happy; in her spare time, she enjoys strolling on the beach, reading, and watching reality television. Kim intends to learn to play golf next year, with the objective of "maintain a good lifestyle for myself and to travel."
"Mimi’s Cafe has been a part of my life for a long time and I truly am grateful for all the years I have worked there," Kim said on October 22 through Instagram. "Now, it is time for a change and I am so excited to announce that I will be a Spa Receptionist at Kona Kai Resort & Spa! Please come and book Spa appointments and I will see you there!"
Kim mentioned Mimi's Café in her Instagram post, which has been a part of her life for a long time. She expressed her appreciation for the years she spent working there. Kim worked as a service manager at Mimi's Café beginning in August 2012, according to her now-defunct LinkedIn page. Kim was 19 years old when she first traveled outside the country. She'd gone to Saudi Arabia to work as a secretary for the US Army. From 1989 through 1996, Kim served in the Army. From August 1990 to July 1991, the proud United States Army veteran served in Desert Storm.
Kim is presently earning money as a '90 Day Fiancé' cast member. Kim not only appeared in 'Before the 90 Days,' but she is also one of TLC's most famous faces due to her romance with Usman in '90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?' Season 7. Kim has also been featured on episodes of 'Pillow Talk' with her son Jamal Menzies. The single mother is a social media influencer. She has collaborated with numerous fashion and cosmetic businesses and has over 167,000 Instagram followers. She has a Cameo account, where she charges $45 for a personalized video message and $135 for a live video conversation with a fan. The California native also just debuted her own "Super Blossom" splash.
While Usman is known to '90 Day Fiancé' followers as a hustler, Kim is keeping up with her guy, and how! Fans appreciate that Kim works a steady job on the side and isn't reliant on her 15 minutes of fame to make a living.
