With language barriers, grandma and me communicate with body language and food. I love to eat and she enjoys cooking. We sit here in front of the family house; sorting beans, cutting spinach, grinding seeds, while she, in three different languages, tells about her childhood, how she met grandpa, what she thinks of the future, and of course the secret ingredient in her mbika.

And this is what Kalangu is. A member café so we can create together. A curious space so we can break barriers. An open place so we can be a community. And there's always delicious food to gather around when words are in the way. By becoming a member you support all this!
