So ask yourself:
Do you have your business registered?
Have you registered your logo?
Have you registered your name?

What is your three-year plan? Your five-year plan?
What is your training plan?
Who are the partners you want to meet?

So it’s not a lack of financing. It’s not a lack of interest. And it’s not a lack of originality or production capacity that Uganda has.

The problem is that we are not ready to do business. We still treat what we are doing as a hobby.

Happy International Women's Day

[AmCham Uganda @AmChamUganda]

Ladies, we need to change our mindsets. Creativity is not a hobby. It is not a side hustle. It is a business.

And if you don’t treat it as a business, it will not grow and it will not help you get where you want it to go.

When one woman succeeds, she creates space for many more to follow.

Together, we can build communities where creativity thrives, where women’s stories are told, and where the next generation grows up believing that anything is possible.

To every young girl watching or listening today: your voice matters. Your ideas matter. Your creativity matters.

Do not be afraid to dream boldly, to speak confidently, and to pursue the path that excites your heart.

As women in creative spaces, we are storytellers, builders, innovators, and leaders.

Through our ideas, our art, our voices, and our work, we have the ability to inspire change. Creativity is powerful

@EveZalwango However, while the opportunities are expanding, we must also acknowledge the barriers that women in the creative sector continue to face.

Many creators struggle with limited access to financing, which makes it difficult to scale their ideas.

Women are designers building global fashion brands.

They are filmmakers telling authentic African stories; they are artists preserving culture and heritage; they are digital creators shaping narratives and influencing markets.
