A Luhya family, grown in Texas
We started around a kitchen table in Plano. Today, more than 180 Luhya households across DFW share weddings, raise children, mark milestones — and quietly hold each other up when life calls for it.
To keep our heritage alive, our children rooted, and our families surrounded — so joy is multiplied, hard seasons are shared, and no one in our diaspora walks alone.
A Luhya family in DFW where every child knows their name in Luhya, every milestone has witnesses, and every neighbor in need finds a hand already reaching back.
It began around a kitchen table
A handful of Luhya families. Sunday lunch in Plano. Then a wedding, a graduation, a baby blessing — and one phone call from home that needed all of us. We pooled money for a hospital bill. We pooled people for a funeral flight. And quietly, a community was already forming.
Today, over 180 households across Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington and Irving call this family home. We celebrate together at the Annual Family Day Out, send students to school in Western Kenya, and on the days that test a family — we show up first.
