Marianne Bema
Descendant of the prestigious Batoufam and Batoum Royalty, was born and raised in Cameroon, Central Africa. After the birth of her twins, Marianne was given the special and highly respected name of Magnie as required by the Bantu-Bamileke culture (which means the Mother of Twins). It is to notice that some worldwide celebrated Artists such as Picasso, Matisse, Gauguin and most recently La Maison Hermes, got their inspiration from the Bantu people's outstanding handmade arts pieces. Magnie is fluent in 10 languages. Over the years she has had the privilege of living in various countries of the world where she experienced diverse cultures from Belgium to France, Gabon, Germany and now the United States of America.

We started this curriculum with 23 students seven years ago. The program has been very well received in communities. We received city recognition from Fred Gaines, Mayor of Calabasas, and several media coverages such as Acorn Calabasas, Malibu Times, Surfside News Malibu, Calabasas TV, and, very recently, Pasadena TV. We have participated in big-size festivals of up to 50,000 guests, including Beverly Hills Artshow, Pumpkin Festival Calabasas, Earth Day festival, P22 day festival in Zoo LA, Malibu Arts Festival, Westlake village street fair, Thousand Oaks arts festival, Happy Trails events, and many more. We have also done programs with both private and public schools, including Montessori, Calabasas high school, etc.
