Artists & Educators

Elizabeth Kahura
Born in Kenya, Elizabeth is a teacher by profession and also loves to entertain. Elizabeth’s first visit to United States was in 1995 where she worked as a camp counselor at the Jones Gulch Y.M.C.A in California. It was during this time that she decided to start the African Safari program that would help to enlighten the world on the true meaning of Africa.

Elizabeth later came to Texas, where she began doing many presentations about Africa in different learning institutions, such as school districts, day cares, libraries, Y.M./W.C.A.’s, and various conferences. Her main focus is, “knowledge enrichment to the society.” This has been enhanced by her creation of several different programs including: African Safari; Brewed in the African Pot; and African Beat Poetry in collaboration with Sherry Scott, all designed to highlight African culture.
