Some presentations inform.
70 Years and Beyond transports.
Through masterful storytelling, irresistible humor, and fifty years of professional stage experience, Wambui Bahati takes audiences on a joyful journey through the 1950s, '60s, '70s, and '80s — the decades that shaped modern America. School days, tail fins, party-line telephones, Sunday dinners, and the music that made everyone stop what they were doing.
This is a full-scale keynote performance built for conferences, conventions, corporate events, gala dinners, speaker series, and cultural institutions — as well as libraries, faith communities, and senior living programs. It plays to any size room and connects every generation in it.
Born in Greensboro, North Carolina, in 1950, Wambui lived this history before she learned to tell it. Audiences laugh, nod, sometimes tear up — and leave wanting to share their own stories.
Professional, reliable, and ready to create memories your event team will love.

PROGRAM 2:
"AGING OUT LOUD"
Aging Out Loud is not a program about getting old. It is a program about getting bold. With humor, honesty, faith, and hard-won wisdom, Wambui Bahati shares her journey from deep struggle to renewed purpose — including the moments when life seemed to say, “There is no way out,” and the surprising turns that reminded her that the story was not over.
PROGRAM 3:
"STEP AWAY FROM THE WORLD"
We live in a world that never stops. The news is always on. The phone is always buzzing. The to-do list never ends. Something is always demanding our attention, our energy, our worry. And somewhere along the way, we forgot something our grandmothers knew instinctively: that the best way to quiet a loud world is to pick up something beautiful — and make it.
In "Step Away from the World", Wambui Bahati — storyteller, actress, speaker, and loom knitting enthusiast with more than 40,000 followers on her crafting YouTube channel — shares her personal journey into the meditative, joyful, and surprisingly nostalgic world of crafting.
