Death be not proud!
My thoughts go out to you all in this painful time.
Rest in peace to the fallen colleagues, and we hold Makona in prayer for a full and speedy recovery.
The stone. The rough. The ring.

This is Kisoro amethyst. Born in our soil, carried in its natural rough beauty, and polished in Uganda by @ecoconcreteUG’s Gemstones Workshop. Very few nations have a stone that grounds their people, a symbol to wear, to claim, and to identify with. For Uganda, amethyst is not just a gem; it is an anchor of value, dignity, and pride.
When we wear it, we do more than adorn ourselves. We affirm that our wealth does not need foreign signatures. We make our minerals speak for us, not for others.
Renegades wear amethyst. For you, it stands as a symbol of calm in storms, balance in chaos, clarity in decision, and strength against negativity. It reflects discipline of the mind, steadiness of the spirit, and dignity in the hand that wears it.
After a long, thoughtful pause, Ibua Journal returns with a new issue: “Let Me Tell You How It Felt: Essays on Grief.” This is not just a comeback; it is a labour of deep care, curated with the weight this theme deserves.

My family learnt the hard way — that poor school performance is sometimes related to learning disorders that many of us may have and have not been diagnosed, Especially dyslexia.
The nature and style of teaching in school is evolving — but for the most part, it has always emphasized cramming and memorizing concepts, rather than understanding them. So kids with difficulty reading, memorizing stuff fall behind, and in time get frustrated and lose interest in school.
It’s difficult to find resources to diagnose these learning difficulties— but I wish we had done more to help someone in my family when they needed it.
