Kerubo is a multidisciplinary artist, cultural worker, and community advocate whose work lives at the intersection of music, healing, and heritage. Drawing from her Kisii roots and the rich traditions of African oral storytelling, she uses song both as a vessel of memory and a tool for transformation.

Her lyrics—whether original or drawn from traditional folk songs—are layered with meaning, deliberately open to interpretation. This allows each listener to bring their own story into the music. Rather than offering a single, fixed message, Kerubo’s songs invite reflection, dialogue, and connection. It is this openness that extends the lifespan of her work across generations and geographies, allowing a single song to evolve with each new voice that carries it.

Kerubo works across Vermont and globally to support immigrants, refugees, and marginalized communities through trauma-informed programming, cultural preservation, and creative expression. Whether leading a circle of women in a healing song, co-creating curricula for schools, or performing on stage, her work centers resilience, community, and belonging.

She believes that storytelling, like healing, is not always tidy—but it is always necessary. And that sometimes, the songs we sing hold what words cannot say.
