🌍 Meet Mwamaka Sharifu, Kenya’s trailblazing \"Chinese girl\"—a symbol of cross-continental friendship and the power of traditional medicine. Nearly two decades ago, she left her Kenyan hometown to study Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in China. Now, she’s back in Taicang, Suzhou City, seeking inspiration to launch her own TCM clinic in Kenya. 🏥
📜 Her story intertwines with the centuries-old ties between China and Africa, supercharged by the Belt and Road Initiative. \"The wisdom of TCM changed my life,\" says Sharifu, who’s determined to blend herbal remedies with modern healthcare practices back home. 🌱
💡 From acupuncture workshops to herbal gardens, Sharifu’s vision is to create a wellness hub that honors both Kenyan and Chinese traditions. \"Healing has no borders,\" she smiles, reflecting on her journey from a curious student to a cultural ambassador. 🤝✨
