I was born, and grew up in South Africa. I have lived and travelled through the United Kingdom, Japan, USA and Canada where I was employed as a teacher. I have also travelled extensively through Europe, Asia and America.
I have a background in music, culture and education and currently work in public libraries while studying towards a Diploma in Library and Information Technology.
After achieving a Bachelor of Music degree, a teaching certificate, and an Arts Administration certificate, I established a Music School in South Africa for disadvantaged children from orphanages around the city. I have actively participated in organizing various cultural and educational festivals and workshops in the various countries I’ve lived in. I also hold a Masters in Music and Culture from the UK, and have done a host of courses in Indigenous studies in Canada.
As a volunteer at the Museum of Anthropology, I served as Chair of the Research Committee, as President and Past President of the MOA Volunteer Association, I have served on the Director’s Advisory Council and continue to do research in order to decolonize the African Collection. Kamshi hosts craft workshops with Diwalifest to celebrate Diwali in Vancouver, Surrey and Coquitlam.
