Kiazi Malonga's Workshop for Fathers in Oakland | KQED
Briefly

The event emphasizes nutrition with Afro-Caribbean cuisine, a music workshop on Congolese drumming, and a panel discussion featuring local artists and fathers. Chef Nigel Jones will cater the event, while Kiazi leads the music workshops, stressing the importance of traditional Congolese instruments. Additionally, conversations will be guided by notable figures like Karega Bailey and Grammy winners. With programs like free haircuts and the Super Bowl broadcast, the gathering aims to connect fathers and share resources, inspired by Kiazi's journey and the legacy of fatherhood.
The first priority is nutrition, as Calabash's Chef Nigel Jones will serve up hot plates of Afro-Caribbean and Jamaican cuisine.
In organizing this gathering, Kiazi reflects on his personal experience as a father and says, "Sometimes it feels lonely, brother; just trying to figure it out."
