Kwaziwa AfriWetu!
Welcome to a brand new African Civilisation! The mighty ROZVI Empire! From the southern part of our continent and they were awesome!
It was such a joy to meet these ancestors to learn more and dig deeper into their story. Each layer was more fascinating than the last and still so much more to uncover.
Thank you to Big City Studios for the ace production as always making me sound good!
Sit back and enjoy!
Until next time
Mubarikiwe!

AFRI-WATU! SBAH LKHIR!
How excited are we to introduce you to this Legend from the North! She is epic and of course we needed an epic voice to narrate the story, so tune in to hear the dulcet tones of Nyaguthii who so graciously agreed to tell this tale.
I urge you all to uncover more about this legend as we wind up the AfriWetu celebration of women this International Women's month! She was a queen, a warrior, a mother and force - Dihya Al Kahina was a legend who inspires many women across not just North Africa but the rest of the continent.
As usual I want to thank Lee Kanyottu for doing his magic and making us both sound so good!
Until next time
Mubarikiwe!

Drumrolls please as we enter into the final part, Part 3 of the Wagadou Empire!
It is all VERY exciting as it’s an AfriWetu first to have a Part 3, but really this Empire had to be the one, considering its importance then and now to our culture & history.
I hope you enjoy the last, yes last, episode on this wonder of our ancestor’s story and civilisation!

Afri-WATU!!!!
Dropping another folklore just for you as we jump into the Anansi tales from the Akan people!
This was such fun to read and record & it was made so by the wonderful dulcet tones and incredible storytelling skills of our Guest Narrator, my dear friend Kevin Mwachiro. He did such a dope job (obviously) & I was so honoured to have him join the AfriWetu family allllllll the way from Kilifi...you can hear the sounds of the seashell echo even :)
Thank you Kevin! Afri-WATU make sure you also check out his podcast - NIPE STORY https://open.spotify.com/show/3iDGuiAtnxV4f0bN1Qeupv?si=8c5546555f9a4402- which features African stories from across the continent.
Once you listen in, let us know! (It should show you why he was the perfect fit to tell this folklore:).
As usual a BIG thank you to Big City Studios, and to you Afri-WATU for tuning in!
Until next time
Mubarikiwe!

UVORO AFRI-WATU!
Welcome to a Guest Narrator episode!
Today we celebrate a true African legend - Cierume! She was an amazing and fearless woman from the Embu people in Kenya.
Her fame and skills preceded her not only amongst her people BUT also in the region. She was awesome and so I could only have another awesome woman tell her story...Nimu!
A huge thanks to Nimu for doing justice to this legend and for such a fun time in studio! We have to do it again!
Thanks as always to Big City Studio for making us sound good and to 2ndtoNone Studio for letting us use your studio to record.
Until next time,
Mubarikiwe!

Thank you for tuning in for Part 2 of the Undi Kingdom! I do hope you enjoy meeting these ancestors and that you go and do your own deeper research! This may be the concluding episode, but it is far from the end of the story, there is so so so much more to discover about the Undi!
I would like to as usual say a huge ASANTE to Big City Studios for the production skills that make AfriWetu sound so dope and that help you glide through the history of our continent!
Until next time

It has been a loooooong while since we had a Fable/Folklore story for you right! So here is one pulled from the modern nation of Guinea, in West Africa!
The story covers alllllll the human dynamics of family, love, betrayal....
This also means it is a GUEST Narrator episode with a great friend of AfriWetu Ssagala! Ssagala is dope on many levels, and he is a creative with business savvy and one of his platforms is SawaSawa Tv https://sawasawastudios.com/campus-confessions this is the link to the latest piece of work which will air! I wish to say a very HUGE thank you to Ssagala for coming on the show, it was such fun! We must have him back again I think!
