About Roots & Realms
Hey there, and welcome to Roots & Realms!
We’re a storytelling platform born from love, love for Africa, its people, its past, and its future.
At Roots & Realms, we dive into the heart of African culture, country by country. We explore traditions, languages, legends, food, fashion, everyday life, all the little (and big) things that make Africa, Africa.
Our journey begins in Kenya, with all 47 counties, each with its own flavor, rhythm, and story to tell. From Nairobi’s city buzz to Samburu’s age-old rituals, we’re here to shine a light on what makes each place unique.
What We’re About
- Storytelling that feels like home — the kind that makes you nod, smile, or text your auntie because it reminds you of her.
- Real culture, real people — no filters, no stereotypes. Just true African voices and real stories.
- Celebrating our roots while exploring the realms we’re building today.
This isn’t just about history books or dusty archives. It’s about living, breathing culture — the kind passed down over tea, through songs, at weddings, or even just sitting under a mango tree.
Why We Started
Because we got tired of Africa being boxed into the same old story.
We know better. And we believe you deserve better.
Roots & Realms is our way of preserving the richness, beauty, and depth of African life, in all its complexity, creativity, and glory.
Whether you’re here to learn, reconnect, or just enjoy some good storytelling, you belong here.
Come Along for the Journey
We’ve only just begun. Stick around, explore, share, and grow with us as we tell Africa’s stories the way they deserve to be told, with heart, depth, and joy.
Welcome to Roots & Realms.
Where heritage meets the now.
