The Alberta-based writer, filmmaker and musician, who performs under the name Lemba, certainly doesn’t see this as a negative thing. It wasn’t a struggle. It was a celebration. Staying immersed in her parents’ Zambian culture was not difficult, but it did take a bit of effort for the globe-trotting family. Lemba refers to her father as an “adventurous doctor” who moved the family to different parts of the Commonwealth when she was young. She was born in Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) and spent her early childhood in South Africa before moving to Australia and finally landing in Drumheller for her junior high and high school years.
