My Blasian Baby Meets My Kenyan Family For The First Time | Traditional Kikuyu Itega
Ойын-сауық
An itega is a Kikuyu tradition of celebrating the birth of a child where the new mother and grandmother introduce the baby to their age mates (rika) and close friends. This is the first itega in our family celebrating a Kenyan-American x Japanese baby.

Yup! Any occasion is the right occasion for a celebration 😄🎉
Being Cuban I understand how happy your family must have been, just seeing your parents hold their grandchild makes me smile. Someday you’ll go viral and people will come to these early vlogs to see your journey. God bless you and you’re beautiful family! :)

What a wonderful family❤️ I love seeing her play with cousins and Aunties and Uncles too. We just brought our little girl back two months ago to play with cousins in Canada and Grandparents in the US. Was that Ethiopian bread she was eating too?

It's called chapati, which is originally Indian but also a staple in East Africa. And your daughter must have loved the family time!

Same! I'd never seen them smile so much in my life. And thanks for the love on song choice and overall editing. It took a while to pick out the right pieces but the video really tells an accurate story.

It totally depends on you, your partner, and your relationship with both sides of the family. My family is VERY warm and welcoming so I've never had a problem introducing people to them.
