You do such beautiful work
@wokaen
Your portraits are sooo intimate. I bet your subjects don't realise how much of themselves you draw out. And yet your work still remains fun and whimsical. Thank you for your service sir

I imagine this is the same thinking that has people driving around with a driver and body guard and then not feeding them even once. Empisa E'zobuntu. Ubuntu.
I really want to support
@TonyNatif
efforts regarding these bots. Naye I haven't scaled
#capitalism
yet. I hope in the end they take the lessons he's trying to pass on and they add some "sophistication"
I've been so blessed that the team I was placed in

led by Mr. Tickets,

@KKariisa
, thank you for the mentorship, sir. I do not take it for granted.

What a month!! Beautiful, rewarding, exhilarating, informative. But this month felt like 2years.

At my niece and nephew baptism. The priest had refused the nephews' name "Sankara" after the freedom fighter. His reasons were that freedom fighting is bad. Ha! Eh, a revolution was about to start.

I've hunted, for 4 months now for a female 3D animator. Was evening willing to have one that's a dope graphics designer to join a top agency. So far, I've failed! It's now costing me not having enough manpower. I really wonder why
I find it intriguing that some of the best vocalist in the world have a family history of music.
@Sandra_Suubi

@KlaDesignWeek
where I needed something purposeful to push my time into. The more I studied design from people like
@ideo
and its potential impact on the world around us, the more I loved it. Podcasts like
@99piorg
helped demonstrate its wide reaching effect. I got hooked
🎉🌟 It's a threefold celebration today!🎉👭🎉 Happy Birthday to me and my amazing sisters. Today, we celebrate not just one, but three incredible souls who share an unbreakable bond of love and sisterhood. Love you big time guys😘❤️💖

I had the opportunity to be a judge for an international graphics design competition. I noticed that the winners had taken time to apply their unique past and present experiences into the problem they needed to solve. I wonder, how can we apply this to all the various /1
Went to blankets and wine to chill, saw mics and ended up producing 4hrs of radio. Dope interviews captured within the vibe.
Any audiophiles that want
@nextcomug
to release those interviews as podcasts as well?
We really might wanna look inwards and build a movement geared towards showing the masses value in investing in our own startups. These VCs will find us along the way. A lot of them make it seem like they’re doing founders a favor by investing in them. The power dynamic is rigged
And been paid back in spades
I've worked really hard on some things
And won awards
And messed up on others
And earned disdain
It was a season filled with growth.
But sadly, far less community time
I've never felt more alone.
But this coming year will be better!
@k_ophelia
Watching the clip they cut out and made available for our region tells me it's a clear marketing stunt for the docu.
Capitalism at play.
Engagement Tactic: End Wokeism Vs Whyt Guilt.
Tools: The Ugandan children
Solution: We fund and make our own. Market it in the West.
I regularly donate because as an O neg, I am in a precarious position. Seeing this is discouraging. By the time I may need the blood, I may not be conscious and the possibility of this happening is very concerning.
We were at Span Clinic in Kisaasi where they demanded 140k for a unit of blood.
We left & got admitted to Kawempe NR Hospital.
At least we have gotten most of the services free of charge.
We must work together to improve and strengthen our healthcare system.
@KlaDesignWeek
Hey
@KlaDesignWeek
I am an immunised Ugandan, photographer, lover of good sound and entrepreneur. My interest in design must have been driven by my photographer and entrepreneur side. But also I came across it randomly during a tough time in my life 1/2
unnecessary stories, it is always genuine and filled with love. Ekikulu Oyasama nyo!
- Your ability to see us: Mummy (as Winnie calls you) otulaba very clearly. You see each of us and accept us and throw your loyalty behind us, why do you risk it, No reason No 2 I think
Good morning awesome people. We are now in the last leg, today na today. Last I checked we are ahead by two points. Let's vote one last time and get

Come we gossip about how amazing our clients are 😂😂😂...no, seriously, there's also some deep conversations being shared
@AgandyStudios
this Thursday. Creatives only though
- Your Honesty: Btw, sometimes, you should probably just shut up 🤣🤣🤣. The rest I can't say on a public platform.

@MMatama
I admire your PHOBIA OF POVERTY OF KNOWLEDGE. As such, you have surrounded yourself with the wisest in the industries
My pet peeve is when people say blah blah blah "Creative Industry" and then go ahead to invite only singers...or in this case, only film makers. How about ..."favour film making in Uganda"?
That would be more accurate
A Well thought through idea, adding a voice to a topic of "discussion" today, while making this more informative to all beneficiaries of this Law not to just one sector so that it can get the support and blessings it deserves through converging of views.

Design facets that we already have here in Ug? I know that animation studio
#CreaturesAnimation
led by the brothers
#Malinga
had already demonstrated this through their production of Akakakalabanda Ate My Homework...so we will be exploring how to look within for inspo
@KlaDesignWeek
@Amaru256
@nairobidesignwk
A similar goal: Can we demonstrate the value of good design to the continent so people can pay designers better? Can we equip designers better here in EA and thus improve their worth? Designers are by default problem solvers. So imagine we had that many people solving /3
First time walking into the studios was to install the refreshed look that the creative team had come up with. Congratulations

I got dinner from a lover.
I got flowers from a friend.
I got balloons from the housemate.
And 365 days round the sun.
I've felt loss, twice.
My blood, taken violently.
I've been punished for doing right.
And punished for walking away from an X.
I've hurt others deeply... /1
Hehehe I remember joining a couple as a budding photographer, wrongly assuming collective effort would get us to a better place. Earned more as an independent contractor. The associations are good for organising beach hangouts though 💀
Well done
@DMugumisa
I'll miss the suits! And I know that what you are stepping into is an area you are driven to be part of. I look forward to watching you shine even brighter. The only thing permanent is change. All the best kind sir!
With a heart full of gratitude, I formally announce my departure today from

The growth, memories, and friendships formed here will forever hold a special place in my heart.

This is going to be a major project by it's 5 iteration. It'll become something that for you to be a photographer worth your salt, you must have participated. Brands are going to select their faces from the models on this project.

The call ends on October 11th.
The bulk of the money available to fund climate research about Africa is channeled to, and spent by, institutions and researchers located in Europe and America. Less than 1% of authors of the top 100 most cited papers on climate science around the world are based in Africa

As an artist, it's your role to be first and foremost true to what's within you. For that's what you'll always be able to best express. And that's what will create legacy. Anytime you get society telling you what to shoot, draw, write, paint or speak
