Pamwechete was born from my desire for representation. As a Zimbabwean-born immigrant who grew up in Ireland, I’ve always sought deeper connections to my roots while finding ways to share my culture and heritage with others. I love experiencing different cultures through music, food, art, history, and storytelling. I’d see ‘African Culture’ celebrated but didn’t always feel as if my personal experiences were represented. I then realised that maybe it was because I wasn’t celebrating and promoting it enough.

Pamwechete is my way of bridging that connection—bringing a piece of me to a piece of you to create something beautiful together. I founded Pamwechete to be my own representation and would love to inspire you to be your own. Pamwechete isn’t really about me, its about all of us as a collective.

Together - Le Cheile - Pamwechete
