      I just listened to similar wisdom from Prof. Ngugi wa Thiongo on Kenya Diaspora Media. Prof Ngugi gave Lynn a shout out about the great work you are doing but mentioned that we need to start using our native birth names. Thank you for hosting Dr. Wanjiku, I needed to hear this today.

      My dad was one of those men that was involved in cleaning, washing scrubbing floors etc. I thought all men were like that. However, when I got married, I was shocked that my husband did not even know how to boil water. I eventually taught him to do many things as I was also working outside of the house.

    I’m from Jamaica 🇯🇲 but I resonate with some of things she was talking. For example there plants for fever, stomach aches, cuts, boils etc.
    We eat bush cabbage, callaloo and thought that it was because we were poor and now realize how nutritious those are.
    We use the sweeping from the kitchen and the yard as mulch. There were no ‘commercial fertilizer’. I grew up on real organic food. I still practice making my own manure. Every thing in my garden is organic.

    I'm happy to hear there was an earth where men and women lived in harmony.
    In my childhood, there was no this idea that man was head and woman the neck, it was about partnership and helping each other.
    My parents have been married 50+ years.
    I do remember my dad washing me while mum was cooking. my dad sweeping the house while my mum was washing clothes.
    They both would go to shamba together and come and cook together, one ugali, the other one sukuma.
    Anytime my mum had a child, my dad took over even cleaning clothes.
    I see them right now in their late 70s early 80s, wakipiga story wakicheka and I get jealous of their generation.
    My dad still cooks for us, although he is frail from old age. He says we are his babies and I am in my 30s
    I hope our future generation will find this life once again.
    Where men and women lived in harmony rather than power struggles... who is head, who is what...

    As a woman, with indigenous and African ancestry, I have lived my life knowing this and being in alignment with my ancestors.
    Now in my late fifties and being an elder myself I am looking forward to continuing to teach the Next Generation the greatness of those that came before us.
    Thank you once again for sharing this beautiful Elders wisdom with us, may God bless you both.🙏🤗

I hope to give back in someway for this missing piece of the puzzle, I've been searching my entire life to learn, unlearn and relearn.

    I identify with this lady even though she is twice my age. When I move to US about 15 years ago, white Americans would ask me my name and I responded with my English name. The whites would tell me “ no, I mean your real name. The name your mom gave to you when you were born.” This happened multiple times and I started to feel offended. I would ask myself why don’t they believe this is my real name? Anyway later I rediscovered myself and decided to drop my first name and identify myself with my tribal name and my dad’s name. My family back in Kenya didn’t understand why I did this. I tried to explain the brain washing behind so called “Christian names” but my parents are old school and never understood me. I decided not I will never name my children a white mans name. I kept my promise and non of my children bears an English/white mans name.
