I asked my therapist:
"What do I do when nothing in my life is technically wrong, but I still feel empty?"

She said:
"Grab a journal. Answer these 10 questions. Don't perform. Don't edit. Just answer."

Let's go:

[LéO Africa Institute @LeoAfricaInst]

Namugula Joanita @j_namugula — As Cultural Programmes Coordinator at Goethe Zentrum Kampala, Joanita curates a rich annual programme spanning literature, visual arts, music, theatre, and film. She is building a cultural ecosystem where diverse African artistic expressions find a home and an audience.

Amisha Janat Mukasa @amishamukasa — At Nation Media Group, Amisha transforms editorial and TV content into compelling short-form digital stories for Instagram, YouTube, and X. She understands that the future of African storytelling lives where the audiences are, and she is meeting them there.

#EdithCherotichNdiwa — Founder and Executive Director of Color My Dreams Africa, Edith brings stories to children in marginalized communities through libraries, mobile libraries, and grassroots storytelling initiatives.

#JordanMegolonyo — Legal Officer at ACTV Uganda and Founder of Lonyo Arts Consortium, Jordan holds a rare dual practice: defending human rights in courtrooms and healing communities through poetry, music, and performance.

Read more books. Read to escape reality. Read to understand reality. Read to challenge what you believe. Read to think better. Read to write better. Read to argue better. Read to know yourself. Read to build something. A single book can completely rewire your brain.

[Tóbi Bítàn🌻 @Tobi_Bitan]

read with hunger. with jealousy. with the itch to know how the master did it. writing isn’t just born from inspiration. it's’s born from craft. and craft is studied, borrowed, stolen, honed. one sentence at a time.
