Wamuhu (which translates to "born of ashes" or "from the ashes") is a first-generation Kenyan-American musician, poet, aspiring novelist, and U.S. Army Reserves veteran. She was raised in the City of Moore Haven, a rural township in the heart of Florida’s cane country. Creative expression through art of all forms helped her fill the empty, wide-open spaces of her childhood and remains a euphoric passion when inspiration hits, a misery when it does not, and her most daunting exercise when it comes to bravery and self-actualization.
