A roast is a time-honoured tradition in which family, friends, and colleagues gather to affectionately and humorously celebrate an individual through playful teasing, heartfelt anecdotes, and joyful tributes. On 29 July 2026, we will bring this tradition to Bulawayo in honour of Barbara Kamba-Nyathi, widely known as Barbs the Emotional Alchemist.

Barbs is a practising psychotherapist, a cervical cancer survivor, and a transformative community figure. Through her Bold Dialogue banner, she has created spaces for healing, expression, and connection—most notably through Inkspoken and Stringed Moments, events that have become cornerstones of Bulawayo's creative and wellness landscape. She is also the founder of Femme For Teal, an organisation dedicated to the fight against cervical cancer through awareness and support. Her journey of turning personal adversity into a force for collective good embodies the very definition of emotional alchemy. This roast serves not only as a celebration of her life and spirit but also as a platform to advance the critical work she champions.

This event aims at :
-Celebrating the life, resilience, and humour of Barbara Kamba-Nyathi in a unique, uplifting setting.
-Raising funds for Femme For Teal, with 100% of ticket sales going directly to cervical cancer awareness and support programmes. ·
-Harnessing the power of comedy and community to destigmatise conversations around cancer survival and women's health.

The evening will be structured as a classic roast, framed by live music and dance. The event will open with a musical performance to set a vibrant tone, followed by a line-up of speakers and comedians taking the stage to share prepared sets that lovingly mock, honour, and celebrate Barbs. The roast will close with a dance routine, sending the audience off on an energetic high. Throughout, the tone will be warm, inclusive, and comedic, ensuring a safe space where laughter becomes a vehicle for genuine tribute. The event will also include a moment for Barbs to respond, inviting everyone into a shared moment of reflection and gratitude.
