Especially with black tax.
I happily pay my black tax in honour of the people who got me here and to pave the way for those coming after me, but yoooo!
That tax doesn't live within any means.
I have a complex take on the conservation of languages + culture but worry it may devolve into a tribalism/nationalism war.
So please read to the end.
Disclaimer: I'm not an expert, so I defer to the wisdom of actual culture + language scholars.
Anthropologists, do chip in.

I'm grateful that -as a planned kid- my parents NEVER let me take it for granted that I was lucky.
I'm neurotypical, tall, male, from Western Uganda at a time when that's an advantage; I understand the social norms of the middle class that have given me access.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think @FundiBots would end up in Times Square on the Nasdaq Tower!!
We are beyond grateful to @PersonioFoundation, one of our donors, for giving us this exciting opportunity to showcase our work on such a global stage. @Personio@PledgeOne
I designed another GPT AI. This one is a BrainTrust GPT.
It helps with brainstorming ideas, topics or challenges with a roundtable of experts, especially the kind of ideas that need group discussions.
Help me test it out and let me know what you think.

Head of RENU Systems Team Appointed to GeGC
On 6th October 2023, Hellen Nakawungu was appointed to the Global @eduroam Governance Committee (GeGC) to represent Africa, becoming the first female to represent Africa.
@hellen_kabuubi has spearheaded tremendous eduroam initiatives that have significantly grown the uptake of eduroam in Uganda and the region, especially following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Under her leadership, very innovative solutions and initiatives to adapt eduroam to Africa's challenges have been developed and deployed by RENU. These solutions include Metro eduroam and eduroam on the Go, and they are currently supporting 10s of thousands of students and faculty to access free and secure connectivity, especially off campus.
Congratulations Hellen 🥳🎊🎉
