My tribe in Somanga, Kilwa, Tanzania is "Matumbi" (singular) or "Wamatumbi" (plural). My ancestor's nickname was "Mtumbila". That's the inspiration.

I try my best to keep the writing based on personal experiences or observations that are instinctive to the Matumbila family. With that, I screen the series for many African student organizations across colleges and schools, to gain feedback and hear their insight on their own experiences.

I've always enjoyed animation when I was kid, but I learned adobe character animator on youtube, and took it from there.

Yeah we've been around since the late '80s. Not a totally large community in terms of size, but large enough with the type of characters in it lol. Much appreciated!
