Wambui Waweru

About the business

Wambui Waweru — she also writes her name Wambui Wa Waweru — lives in Ottawa, Ontario, and is from Nairobi, Kenya.

The line she keeps as her bio on Facebook is a quotation: "No one is rich enough to buy yesterday but if you hustle hard, tomorrow could be yours. Wole Soyinka."

In her own words as a vendor: "We will be showcasing a vibrant collection of African-inspired merchandise, featuring our signature custom-designed T-shirts celebrating African countries, cultures, and the spirit of the 2026 World Cup. Visitors will also find matching accessories, including bandanas, tote bags, bracelets, and earrings, all designed to reflect the beauty, pride, and diversity of Africa. Our products offer unique, colourful keepsakes that connect people to their heritage and the rich cultures of the continent."

On Facebook she published that collection under the heading "AFRICA WORLD CUP COLLECTION" with the line "Limited stock available in Ottawa." The photographs she posted with it show her own T-shirt designs — a country map or flag torn open around a football, with the country name and the words WORLD CUP 2026 beneath — printed for Ghana, DR Congo, South Africa and Cabo Verde, on shirts in blue, turquoise, maroon, white, cream, olive, navy, green and red.

She is listed among the vendors at the ACAO Multicultural Festival, held Saturday, 4 July 2026 at 100 Brewer Way in Ottawa and organised by the African Canadian Association of Ottawa. Her listing there gives her category as Clothing & Fashion, and points to her Instagram and her email.

The Instagram account she gives as her contact, @wamzview, is under the name Wambui Wa Waweru; its photographs carry location tags including Nairobi National Park and Baobab Beach Resort and Spa. Under one of them she wrote, "Githuki ni githunduku... Waking up to a brand new day! Be encouraged! Seize the moment..."; under another, "Great views on my morning jog/walk."
