Njambi McGrath: Becoming Njambi

Do You Have Democracy?

Duration: 14 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 LWLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 FM

Available for years

Kenyan-born comedian Njambi McGrath goes on a challenging journey of self-discovery, as she traces the roots of her upbringing and the British influences that shaped her life.

This episode details the colonisation of Kenya, and the torrid experiences that her family and the Kikuyu tribe went through just three generations ago. Njambi expertly shares a history that many in the UK will not be familiar with, comparing modern day politics to the brutality and camps of the late 1800s.
