This video is a glimpse into why we do what we do at @RefugeeMHNetwrk Every program we’ve built has started with a story. This is why we exist!
“Marks don’t matter” is an internet hoax. They do especially early on, and again in the first few years after uni. So get the grades. But also: join stuff. Go out. Make friends. Have fun. Do it all. Don’t pick one thing and call it discipline. Let uni stretch you, not shrink you

We made the story! The East Africa Poetic Hour Battle has been featured in Nation Africa @NationAfrica, not just as an event, but as part of something bigger: A borderless East Africa where poets can travel, share, and build together — no visa, just vision.
And two of our very own @ChaigaDestiny from #Uganda and @FelicityMudis from #Kenya, were named for the growth they have lived through - Gaining confidence, - Performing beyond borders, - Building movements of their own back home.
Some nights are an ignition for the vision where the young discover their God given talents early in life. Tonight I am thrilled to witness students of The Amazima School spit poetic lines like legends..am smitten 🥰 🥰 Humbled to be on stage with somebody I honour @wake_256
“The competition was worth it.” — Midnight Owl (Destiny Gladys) @ChaigaDestiny, Uganda When Midnight Owl stepped into the East Africa Poetic Hour Battle in 2022, she didn’t just compete—she soared. She walked away with an award that earned her national recognition.
The universe has a way of reminding me where to go each time I feel low-spirited with my art. I got published in @NationAfrica yesterday courtesy of my 2022 participation in @HourPoetic Find the article here nation.africa/africa/culture…
Let us normalize being happy for people 🤔. Let’s celebrate the little (and not so little) wins. Let’s pray for those that need strength. Be kinder. Be thoughtful. So many of us are broken. It helps if we fix the cracks & not drive wedges deeper 💜.
Yesterday, as @RefugeeMHNetwrk we held a mental health session with women from the Sudanese community, many of them new arrivals, speaking only English. This particular session moved me to my core and was a reminder that no matter how hard this work gets, I cannot give up.
To those whose Merry Christmas was not merry, happy New year was not happy , do not worry , life is measured in moments Come let us celebrate one year of poetry, story telling, music around a fireplace. You may book your early bird ticket here now ticketsasa.com/events/tales-b…
The cover of the 9th issue of @wegandareview. As ever, the issue includes a terrific mix of essays, fiction & poetry. Art portfolios belong to Lilian Nabulime & JB Muramuzi. Cover art is a haunting “minimum portrait” by Waleed Mohammed, a Sudanese artist now based in Kampala.
Talking about culture, such conversations get me closer make me tune my ears, the smile comes automatically, I figure out how to fix into the conversation, I add up my iteso cultural knowledge, in Teso our dressing is not only a message but our distinguished feature from the rest
