As soon as we part ways intention and motivation begin to wither, everyone goes back to their hamster wheel and nothing ever happens. Procrastination, the creatives' nemesis slowly gnaws on our dreams as we age into oblivion. https://t.co/VcSvhyFN9N

In conversation with Gorreth Nagganja we talked about the efforts by The Buganda Kingdom to document their culture and history through art, evident along the Kabaka Anjagala Road where all their clans and totems are brought to life through sculptures and detailed inscriptions.

Today, we kick off our annual month long #SheDefends campaign, which aims to amplify the voices of women human rights defenders (WHRDs) across Africa. This year, we will place particular emphasis on existing regional and international legal frameworks that recognise and protect women’s rights, affirm the legitimacy of WHRDs, and guarantee protection for those who defend the rights of others. While these frameworks provide important safeguards, WHRDs continue to face disproportionate risks, including threats, harassment, reprisals, and structural exclusion.
Throughout the month of March, we will seek to examine where the gap between paper and practice lies and how commitments can translate into meaningful protection.

Be part of the conversation using #SheDefends.

Original ideas can be replicated, but the work hours and experience cannot be replicated and if they were replicated, you would have earned out of the idea and moved on to another more complicated idea. That is why copy and paste approach is not sustainable.

We don’t need formal structures to be useful within our communities. The execuse for most is that they need some sort of physical or systemic structure for them to put their skills to work. Formal systems are just mere replicas of already existing informal systems, but regulated.

The statement, "knowledge is power" couldn't get more literal than listening to Anthony C.K. Kakooza explain intellectual property in the simplest way possible. watch full episode via https://t.co/PvSloqQmTI

Today morning I was honored to host Anthony C.K. Kakooza an expert in intellectual property, but most importantly one of the brains behind the development of copyright law in this country. A conversation between a creative and a Lawyer is something I’ve long wanted to have.
