I’m only 20 minutes in, but I’m love everything Dr. Wanjiku is sharing. 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.
Cucu needs to have a word with Andrew Kibe, the one who runs around calling men *lambistic* for choosing to be considerate to their woman. He's busy instigating gender wars, as if we don't have enough problems already.
When I was a child my dad used to bath me and even cooked for us sometimes. He made sure he brought everyone food when he returned from the market. He was a great merchant in livestock. May he keep resting. I miss him. It’s over 30 years since his departure.
My dad was same although not bathing.From what i see based on my experience with my mom n my co workers the problem mostly is women.And women who raise their sons to be toxic masculine.
Thank you so much, dear Dr.Wanjiru Kamau, our Mother and Queen. You spoke not just for Kenyans, but for all of us on this beautiful continent. Thank you for your humility, your wisdom and for teaching us.
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 grow a lot of plants for myself.
What an African jewel, at 84 still full of energy, with her mind all intact!! She is so Wise and so besutiful. May The Creator Almighty Of The Heavens Earth And Our Ancestors continue to guide and protect her from all evil.
@@kiuk_kiksthat's not necessarily true. Many kidnapped Afrikans from East Afrika were taken in the Atlantic kidnapping trade. Many Afrikan Americans based on slavery and migration have East Afrikan roots as well. In addition, that's why it is important to study all of the kidnapping trades. I am not from kenya, but this beautiful lady is my mother. I don't get caught up with these made up countries that were constructed by white men or what ethnic group someone belongs to. We are all indigenous to Afrika, Afrika is home, so who cares.
@@FreedomBiafraYou have the right mentality, in this world moving fowards its unite or perish since right wing politics is on the up n up worldwide and guess who is the target.
But his vitu anaogea anafar kuita gikuyu women na andike kitabu ya gikuyu because people bise this information against us like Leaky did and missionaries which is why they started hut tax to diminish the gikuyu mans purity and priesthood because the man was the priest of the home with his wives and children that's why she didn't tell us
@@janendegwa5462 Well said. The Lrakeys were TRAITORS. THheir father was raised in Kenya, spoke Kikuyu fluently, he was circumcised, he even built a thingira (much to his parents chagrin). Come the emergency, HE IS THE ONE WHO WAS SELLING OUT THE MAU MAU., ZERO LOYALTY TO HIS RIIKA OR THE AGIKUYU. FOUR generations in, his daughter found a white man to marry. They pretend to be Conservationists, yet all they do is SPY for BRITAIN, they explore our land looking for minerals, flora and fauna.
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...
Hii mambo ya kuambiwa na wazungu ATI gender equality is nonesence hakuna vile mwanaume watakuwa sawa na mwanamke.. Mm na mme wangu, when am late I cook and do take care of the baby he fetch water for me sometimes nafuwa anasunza, time nikijifunguwa he took over until today my baby is there yrs na anamuosha ata akikupupu infact he do house chores ,, coz even in religion a woman is not a must to do house chores she's just helping and if she refuses, it's up to him ajisort she's just doing him favor 😊😊😊 am happy I got such an husband though ata kama we are very poor but alhamdulillah nashukuru
But it was not all cultures it was just gikuyu maybe gema because they knew God created male and female for a reason they view nature as male and female with a purpose or basically we view life as shamba na mbegu na wanawake ni shamba mwanaume ni mbegu woman is the creator mumbi so she is very important
Hio ati your father washes vyyombo for you is you not been thoughtful how can you let an old frail man do things for you it's time for you to take over ,
Wow wow this is so powerful! We need to reclaim ourselves ! I live in the US and let me tell you I see it everyday how this dream I thought I was looking for is just a lie! I yarn for the simple things everyday!
" Approximately 2345 yrs ago our Afrikan centered culture and spirituality was replaced with another culture" religion " and we have been cut off from the truth about ourselves since then.and it is crucial that we identify the path of our predicament and remove it from ourselves for us to be restored " Dr RAY HAGINS
Thank you for this conversation . As a mom of two Who has decided to come back from living in europe for over 20 years. Hearing this mother/grandmother talk about how we raise our children, what we eat, how we live, our relations, our culture vs that of the west is such a personal encouragement to me. Thank you thank you thank you.
This is mind reawakening, as a Kenyan and African child. Bring her back and let her talk about our spirituality, before christianity was introduced.We really want more of this for decolonize our minds.
" to control a people you must first control what they think about themselves and how they regard their history and culture.and when conqueror makes you ashamed of your culture and your History, he needs no prison walls and no chains to hold you " Dr JOHN HENRIK CLARKE
Stop looking at Christianity like the white man's religion Christianity was started in Africa foundationally. All of the abrahamic religions were founded and started in Africa. It is not the white man's religion. There is nothing to decolonize
@Re_image_Gen WHHAATT? Many parts of Christianity are stolen from Kemit. The holy trinity, the ankh, Amun Ra(amen). But Christianity is ABSOLUTELY A EUROPEAN CONSTEUCT THAT Africans, African Americans etc, DO NOT NEED.
Lynn, our mum needs to come back. :) This is the wisdom our country and homes need. I loved this! We need a series on food, medicine , home making, parenting, marriage from her and others who God has blessed with wisdom.
Wish we can have more of these teachings... I am learning and also passing on the knowledge to my children. Thanks Nyambura for hosting such a precious gem, full of wisdom and knowledge.
This is the most beautiful woman I've seen in 2024. She is a great blessing to all Africans. A good example of the saying that KNOWLEDGE IS POWER! Love from Sydney.
I love her so much already 😍💓 We are going back to roots. We will unlearn all the lies and reclaim our power back!! 💪 Thank you Lynn for bringing her 🥰
Thank you for this interview, it's been incredibly healing for me as a Black Canadian that is very lost out here in EVERY sense of the word. Dr. Wanjiru Kamau wisdom has graciously given me clarity after watching and learning her life lessons. 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. Thank you again from every fiber of my being for providing some peace and healing. Asé ✨
How I wish I knew Kenyan language because I'm South African I am African ...Beautiful there is Hope for our Continent.May the Universe , the Most High keep this Beautiful Soul to impart the Wisdom she has and help Africa to Rise again.Thnx Miss Ngugi, let's go back to our names that have Spiritual meaning and link to the ones before us. Glad I followed you ❤
This was an informative, inspiring, and joyful conversation…simply AMAZING! Dr. Wanjiru Kamau is truly a gem 💎…I can just sit at her feet for hours and learn from her 🤎! Thank you for this video.
What a timely piece. Doing a paper on effects of colonization in Africa and Turtle Island in North America and I have learnt a lot. Thanks to Mama and LNN.
Currently reading “White Feminism” by Koa Beck and everything Dr.Wanjiru is saying makes so much sense. Feminism does not include the non-Caucasian women, it is based on capitalism and doesn’t accommodate the poor either. We were okay as women without having to join the feminist movement that doesn’t help the minority races.
Fantastic lady with such a brilliant mind... Ooh sanity she has and wisdom... Honesty and integrity in life root of our survival... Thank you Lynn for bringing Dr. Wanjiru on this session. My thoughts manifested!
Nyambura thanks so much for bringing our mama Dr. Wannjiru Kamau. Reminds me so much of my late mother, the unsung heroine (Rest in perfect peace mummy). Greetings from northern ugandan Luo
I learned today. I made time in my life for this conversation. I appreciate you, Dr. Wanjiru Kamau and Lynn Ngugi. This video came across my eyes/ears and I am so grateful. from eastern area of USA
Yho! Nyamburi (sorry if im butchering your name). I am a Xhosa South African who is following Dr Goldner's plant-based whole food protocol. No meat or any animal sourced food, including dairy. You have to drink lots of water (up to 4 litres a day). It's not an easy journey, but I'm so encouraged now. My aim is to reverse diabetes and blood pressure. I have tapered off diabetes meds altogether. I still take BP medication only as and when needed. Now I'm going to adopt that breathing mechanism. Thank you so much to you and your guest.❤🙏
I relate; I grew up in a traditional home, my late father was among the remnants from MauMau fight, I see how my worldview has been influenced by the same. Thankyou for such an inspiring guest,
Nyambura Ngugi, thank you for bringing Cucu Wanjiru to us. Westernisation is colonisation. Let's return to our indigenous ways and incorporate them in our modern society. She has said the truth schooling and education are two different things. Schooling is indoctrination and enslavement. Education is power
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. Thank you Lynn for this kind of topics.
If your religion contradicts your cultural identity and seeks to separate you from your culture by denying that culture that religion isn't for you. dig it
My family gives us nicknames thats not white American. We only allow friends and family know about that nickname. Anyone that ask for it is not told about it. Its a privilege to know and use the nickname. Its not for everyone to use and know. 😊❤
I’m offended that you call Christianity a so called.! However, I love the fact that you chose the right path and honored your culture. It never makes sense why people give their children Christian names when they don’t believe. Remain blessed.
This is a very wonderful interview and is much in alignment with the indigenous women of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquios) in America, before colonization. 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 have Never enjoyed an episode as much as have done with this one. She needs to come back. ❤❤❤ PURE WISDOM. Am 31 and have learnt so much. Thank you Lynn.
The moment Dr. Wanjiru took off her head gear....wow. she's so REAL and a VIBE❤ let me now sit back and re-learn. Thank you Nyambura. Team LNN is happy 😊❤❤
Beautiful African Queens , thank you so much for the knowledge and the wisdom It was an honour listening to you. I hope our younger generations tap into such knowledge and wisdom passing on. ❤❤❤Jamaican 🇯🇲 watching from the white man country England 😂😮
Golden interview from Prof, what an insight, same story with my people went throught in Igboland Eastern Nigeria, women had their pride of place and men respected them as such. Would like to buy her book.
WOW THIS WAS WONDERFUL DISCUSSION. I loved her Thank you for introducing me to her. I am a Black American living in Rwanda and this interview was soul affirming. I would love to see her speak in person...I would love to see her here in Rwanda. I didn't agree with everything but her wisdom was worth sharing. Murakoze cyane

Ooo sis Lynn, I haven't even listened to this story, I just love the fact that you are also accommodating old generation on this platform, really you are born for this
Wonderful guide from an african queen,a true perspective of beingness of an african indigenous angle.Can you imagine if we would have transformed that interconnectedness into current "modern way of life" and discard their individualistic tendencies which is the foundation of capitalism,Africa would be flowing as a mighty river in all aspects of it's development.
A conversation worth listening,I love our African traditions and am glad we still have chance to learn what we didn't know while growing up. Wanjiru is a woman of substance.-kindly when the book is out we need to know so that we can buy and read.❤
Ahsante sana and please bring more of these wise people, the custodians of our culture and traditions from different communities. We named our daughter, Mekatilili though we are not from the coast and she has grown to be her namesake.
Lyn Nyambura Ngugi is actually a spirit,a movement,am already infected,infested,contaminated by this show,Team LNS is lit,superlit, infectious n contaminous
Wangui Mwangi here and such conversations make my heart flutter...ooh seeing Us become aware and acknowledging our ancestral knowledge is ❤❤ pure bliss
Omg!!thank you LNN for bringing this woman to educate alot of us about our culture as a woman and as a kikuyu, also encouraging other cultures also to look inwards and be proud of their culture!!This really empowered me!!Dr.Wanjiru gave us a deeper dive into history that is not told and that should be told.Challenging us to learn more about being African.I am proud to be Wangui❤ and yohhh !!Let's talk about her skin!!😍 looks very healthy at that age and am definitely now eating healthy and all that!!Less processed foods and more natural.God bless this powerful women❤🎉
Hello Lynn. As a young lady who got brought up by powerful parents and a strong woman who continuously shared your clips till I got to join the team. I want to thankyou for the people you bring to this platform. The amount of teaching I have gathered and different perspective views on life. I personally want to express my gratitude for what you do here.
wow, so much depth and wisdom from Cucu, I had to pause and wipe away tears when she spoke about abandoning our cultural identity, also when she spoke of the meaning of your name Nyambura, I thought of my own name and its significance. We have lost so much because of westernization but there is still hope for our children. I'm all ears!
@@I.am.hookedMen and women are not equal, the man is the head and a woman is his helpmate. Being a helpmate does not mean you're a slave, infact you have the free will to choose to be in a man's life and become a unity but he's the leader.

Wow .....Dr Wanjiru is a gem ✨️🏆at almost 84, and spewing this wisdom, ooh my.... I want to be like her when I grow up ❤
The wisdom of Dr. Wanjiru is astounding. I have learnt a lot.
Yho! Nyamburi (sorry if im butchering your name). I am a Xhosa South African who is following Dr Goldner's plant-based whole food protocol. No meat or any animal sourced food, including dairy. You have to drink lots of water (up to 4 litres a day). It's not an easy journey, but I'm so encouraged now. My aim is to reverse diabetes and blood pressure. I have tapered off diabetes meds altogether. I still take BP medication only as and when needed. Now I'm going to adopt that breathing mechanism.
Thank you so much to you and your guest.❤🙏
Awesome! She treats Lupus. Go you! I am vegan too :)
@@sunshinegacha4021 Kunjani! Wamkelekile eKenya!!

Fun fact; her name Nyambura means 'She of rain'. 😊
@@RMwangi37 RAIN: Mbura (Kikuyu), Mvua (Kiswahili); Ifula (Luhya); imvula (IsiXhosa, isiZulu), Pula (Sesotho, SeTswana, IsiPedi). BaNtu people, we are one.
Beautiful and rich conversation 🎉🎉 receive your flowers both of you 🎉🎉
I relate; I grew up in a traditional home, my late father was among the remnants from MauMau fight, I see how my worldview has been influenced by the same.
Thankyou for such an inspiring guest,
We thank you mama for all the wisdom and education,may the gods and God grant you many more years on this earth, thanks and thanks again
The wisdom I am drawing from this great queen. Lynn please bring her back to speak on emotional healing to women due to identify crisis
Thanks!.... For this history lesson and for having a mature progressive storyteller of the history behind how things were - the how and the why.
I’m 8 minutes into the video and I already love her. Good job LNN. Always!
Togotia is everywhere in my garden. This lady is brilliant thank you Lynn for having her.
Nyambura Ngugi, thank you for bringing Cucu Wanjiru to us. Westernisation is colonisation. Let's return to our indigenous ways and incorporate them in our modern society. She has said the truth schooling and education are two different things. Schooling is indoctrination and enslavement. Education is power
Africa gets borders but whites don't...got it
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.
Thank you Lynn for this kind of topics.
Very true
If your religion contradicts your cultural identity and seeks to separate you from your culture by denying that culture that religion isn't for you. dig it
My family gives us nicknames thats not white American. We only allow friends and family know about that nickname. Anyone that ask for it is not told about it. Its a privilege to know and use the nickname. Its not for everyone to use and know. 😊❤
I’m offended that you call Christianity a so called.! However, I love the fact that you chose the right path and honored your culture. It never makes sense why people give their children Christian names when they don’t believe. Remain blessed.
@@patriciajoy23 it’s not the Christianity I I refer to when I say “so called”, it’s the white mans name that our own priest forces us to take.
This is a very wonderful interview and is much in alignment with the indigenous women of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquios) in America, before colonization.
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.🙏🤗
Lynn again airing another unique rare conversation.. I'm settled, ready to learn again🤗
Thank you so much🙏🙏
This conversation is feeding my spirit right now.
Educated vs schooled. This is so real!
I like how she's real not a hypocrite straight to the point
I have Never enjoyed an episode as much as have done with this one. She needs to come back. ❤❤❤ PURE WISDOM. Am 31 and have learnt so much. Thank you Lynn.
The moment Dr. Wanjiru took off her head gear....wow. she's so REAL and a VIBE❤ let me now sit back and re-learn. Thank you Nyambura. Team LNN is happy 😊❤❤

Beautiful African Queens , thank you so much for the knowledge and the wisdom It was an honour listening to you. I hope our younger generations tap into such knowledge and wisdom passing on. ❤❤❤Jamaican 🇯🇲 watching from the white man country England 😂😮
This lady is still young at heart ... If you download her brain into a 25yr old body she would be right at home 😂😂😂

I love her. I will follow her to learn more❤
Ability to learn, re-learn to learn... beautiful. Thankyou for educating my naivety.

Nyambura Wa Ngugi should be your official name. Prof Ngugi Wa Thiong'o confirmed it.
Yes Prof Ngugi specifically mentioned Lynn on KDM recent interview
Please Lynn bring prof Ngugi wa Thiongo on the bench
This was a beautiful conversation!! Thank you!!
Wonderful guide from an african queen,a true perspective of beingness of an african indigenous angle.Can you imagine if we would have transformed that interconnectedness into current "modern way of life" and discard their individualistic tendencies which is the foundation of capitalism,Africa would be flowing as a mighty river in all aspects of it's development.
Amen!!!!
This woman is a university,very educative conversation
Learning to relearn! I enjoyed every word from this great Conversation. Thank you Lynn
Dear Nyambura Ngugi: greetings to Dr. Wanjiru Kamau for give us back our pride. Mrs. Ngugi as your really name, you are a Blessing
I am proudly Kikuyu and tribless,kudos mum and good job nyambura 🎉
All these communities were nations on their own, tribe is used to discribe animals.
A conversation worth listening,I love our African traditions and am glad we still have chance to learn what we didn't know while growing up.
Wanjiru is a woman of substance.-kindly when the book is out we need to know so that we can buy and read.❤
Ahsante sana and please bring more of these wise people, the custodians of our culture and traditions from different communities. We named our daughter, Mekatilili though we are not from the coast and she has grown to be her namesake.

Hello Lynn.
As a young lady who got brought up by powerful parents and a strong woman who continuously shared your clips till I got to join the team. I want to thankyou for the people you bring to this platform. The amount of teaching I have gathered and different perspective views on life. I personally want to express my gratitude for what you do here.
wow, so much depth and wisdom from Cucu, I had to pause and wipe away tears when she spoke about abandoning our cultural identity, also when she spoke of the meaning of your name Nyambura, I thought of my own name and its significance. We have lost so much because of westernization but there is still hope for our children. I'm all ears!
such a gem at 84 with amazing. wealth of knowledge,needs more of her teach ❤🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Marriage is not about fight but negotiation🌹
A man is the head of the house. It's not about negotiation.
@@juliusndungu-sv3nga marriage is a partnership, not a servant master relationship.
It’s not about negotiating.
@@I.am.hooked no marriage is not a partnership if you want partnership go for sugar rmummies and sugar babies relationships
@@I.am.hookedMen and women are not equal, the man is the head and a woman is his helpmate. Being a helpmate does not mean you're a slave, infact you have the free will to choose to be in a man's life and become a unity but he's the leader.
