About My Name
Wambui [ Pronounced: WHAM BOO EE ], circa 1952 - Grandmother's house in Goldsboro, North CarolinaHey there! So, Wambui Bahati wasn't always called that. She started off as John Ann Washington, named after her dad. Life threw a lot at her, including some tough battles with mental health. But as she fought through and started a new chapter, she wanted a name that reflected her new self.
She picked "Wambui Bahati," and it's got a cool meaning. "Wambui" means "singer of songs" in Swahili, and "Bahati" means "my fortune is good." It's like her way of saying she's singing her way to a brighter future. It shows how strong and hopeful she is, especially with her work helping others through performance, speaking out about mental health, and fighting domestic violence.
