Welcome to Panda Mbegu, an Intersectional Decolonial Initiative founded by a collective of transgenerational Kenyan women living in Germany. We have come together with a shared vision of reclaiming our cultural heritage, fostering empowerment, and building bridges between the African continent and the diaspora.
At Panda Mbegu, we believe that “planting seeds” is more than just a metaphor—it’s a commitment to nurturing knowledge, preserving our traditions, and sowing the values of empowerment, cultural pride, and collective growth.
Through our platform, we aim to:
- Reclaim and Decolonize – We are dedicated to challenging colonial narratives and reclaiming our rich African cultures and traditions.
- Research and Archive – Preserving and re-evaluating our cultural knowledge to ensure it remains relevant for future generations.
- Empower and Educate – Creating spaces for dialogue, learning, and growth through initiatives such as Panda Mbegu Talks, mentorship programs, and cultural exchange projects.
- Bridge the Diaspora with the Continent – Strengthening connections and fostering meaningful collaborations that unite African communities across the globe.
Whether you are looking to engage in conversations around decolonization, learn about African traditions such as food, medicine, and community-building, or find ways to contribute to empowering our people, Panda Mbegu welcomes you with open arms.
Join us in planting the seeds of change. Together, we can reclaim our narratives, empower our communities, and create a future rooted in knowledge and pride.
Welcome to the journey. Welcome to Panda Mbegu.
