Attention, all super moms and super kids! Exciting news awaits you and your little ones. Disney Junior EMEA is taking us on a thrilling journey with “Kiya & the Kimoja Heroes,” a fantastic animated series from Hasbro’s entertainment studio, eOne. This show on Disney Junior (DStv channel 309) premiered this September. The show lights up your family’s screen and sparks important conversations about values like community, empathy, compassion, and diversity.
Now, let’s dive deeper into why “Kiya & the Kimoja Heroes” is a must-watch for your little superheroes.
A Lesson in Community and Empathy:
This heart-warming series follows the adventures of Kiya, Motsie, and Jay. Kiya, known as the “Dance Ninja,” is a seven-year-old superhero with a unique crystal headband that transforms her dance and martial arts talents into incredible powers. Her two friends, Motsie (aka “Tech Racer”) and Jay (aka “Flying Rockstar”), each have their own crystal-charged abilities. Together, they form the Kimoja Heroes, dedicated to bringing harmony and joy back to their hometown, Kimoja City, whenever trouble arises.
But here’s where the magic truly lies. “Kiya & the Kimoja Heroes” doesn’t just showcase the adventures of these young superheroes; it places a strong emphasis on themes like community and empathy. Each episode features stories that highlight the importance of coming together, understanding others, and making the world a better place. It’s a powerful message that your little ones can carry with them as they grow.
Celebrating Diversity and Duality:
One of the most beautiful aspects of this series is its celebration of diversity. Kimoja City is a dynamic community inspired by the traditions and cultures of Southern Africa. With a diverse cast of characters and Southern African locations, “Kiya & the Kimoja Heroes” immerses kids in a world filled with rich heritage and culture.
Moreover, the show encourages children to explore their own diversity and duality. It sends a powerful message that kids don’t have to be confined to just one thing; they can try everything and excel at it all. Kiya’s mastery of dance and martial arts, Motsie’s tech wizardry, and Jay’s flying abilities showcase the idea that embracing one’s unique talents can lead to extraordinary outcomes.
Malik’s Inspiration:
Speaking of embracing one’s talents, let’s talk about Malik, my incredible youngest son who has taken quite the likeness of the series. Malik was so inspired by “Kiya & the Kimoja Heroes” that he decided to become the ultimate superhero as a trampoline back-flipper! Just like Jay, who takes to the skies, Malik found his own way to shine by becoming a fearless back-flipper – and boy is he proud. But that’s not all – he also embodies the kindest spirit, just like the Kimoja Heroes.
Malik’s ultimate superhero trait is his kindness. He understands that being a superhero isn’t just about superpowers; it’s about using those powers for good. Malik’s willingness to spread kindness and joy to those around him makes him a real-life superhero in his own right. Take a moment today and ask your little one, what their ultimate superpower is?

“Kiya & the Kimoja Heroes” isn’t just an entertaining show; it’s an educational experience wrapped in colourful animation and catchy tunes. Your kids will be drawn to the high-energy adventures of Kiya and her friends, and you’ll love the meaningful themes woven into each episode.
