PARENTING

MEN LISTEN

For the boy child, you don’t say I want you to go running, you say let’s go run.

You don’t say, I want you to cook, you say let’s cook.

You don’t say I want you to clean, you say let’s clean.

You don’t say wake up early, you say we shall wake up so early tomorrow.

It helps them appreciate that men or boys too can cook, can clean, can exercise, can lay beds, clean their toilets.

A farm stay is more than a place to sleep.💚

It's waking up to birdsong instead of traffic, taking a morning walk before breakfast, meeting animals along the way, and ending the day around nature and open space.

Sometimes a change of scenery is all you need.

At The Great Outdoors, nature is the entertainment. Trees are the choir. The wind is the beat. And we’re all just guests who got lucky enough to witness it.

This is joy without filters. This is what happens when we stop scrolling and start seeing. #familytime #teamjoy #nature

Rooted in Generosity

The theme for the 3rd Leaders’ Summit was Rooted.

Looking back, one of the strongest roots running through the entire experience was generosity.

Ever since we started the Leaders’ Summits, we have intentionally woven generosity into the experience. We believe every gathering should leave something behind.

At our inaugural Summit, we donated scholastic materials and sanitary pads to Kivubuka Primary School. At our second Summit, our gift flowed to Masaka School for the Deaf. This year, we had the joy of giving to Kalanamu Public Primary School.

Why primary schools? Because they are among the first places where the next generation is formed. Supporting them is one small way of investing in the future.

In addition, generosity does not flow one way. Yes, we arrive bearing gifts. But we leave carrying many more.

The children receive us with songs, dances, performances, laughter, and endless excitement. The community welcomes us with warmth and hospitality. Every year, we play games with the children. These include football, volleyball, or netball, and, without fail, they defeat us with tremendous enthusiasm!

Our elders generously give us something even more precious: their time, their stories, their wisdom, and the lessons gathered over decades of living.

And each Summit participant comes carrying gifts too. They bring their experiences, encouragement, vulnerability, curiosity, and friendship.

Generosity is one of the deepest roots from which healthy communities grow.

It is never a one-way exchange. It moves from person to person, generation to generation, always returning in new forms.

Ubuntu.

I am because you are.

The beautiful circle of African generosity: always moving, always multiplying, always finding its way back to us.

This weekend, we were honored to host Ms. Francisca Ayodeji (Ayo) Akala, World Bank Country Manager for Uganda, and Ms. Nwanne Vwede-Obahor (@NwanneObahor) , UNDP Resident Representative for Uganda, at Kaynela Farms.

It was a pleasure to share our journey in agrotourism, community engagement, and sustainable farming, while showcasing the experiences that make the farm what it is.

We are grateful for their visit and the opportunity to host them. 😊💚

Three in One

If you were a girl with a friend at Namilyango College in the mid-2000s and received a hand-drawn card, chances are it was the work of my guest today.

Art came into Kamanyire’s life early. His older brother recognized his talent and became one of his first champions, gently and persistently encouraging him to develop his craft.

But Kamanyire is one of those people who seems capable of many lives.

As a young altar server, his dedication caught the attention of a Catholic priest who encouraged him to consider ordained ministry.

He also loved animals and, for a time, dreamed of becoming a veterinarian. He and a friend took the dream so seriously that they would dissect animals together and proudly call each other “Doctor.”

And then there was teaching.

His face lights up when he speaks about learning. He loves guiding others, sharing knowledge, and witnessing that beautiful moment when understanding dawns and something suddenly clicks into place.

Alongside all this, he continued to nurture his artistic gifts as an illustrator, photographer, and graphic designer, generously sharing those talents wherever life took him.

Today, he serves as Co-Director of @FacesUpUganda, helping to build an organization that is steadily becoming a household name in Uganda. Through art, Faces Up helps children discover possibility, confidence, and hope: one child, one artwork, one story at a time.

As we walked, I found myself wondering whether Kamanyire’s different dreams were ever really separate.

Perhaps he did become all three.

Like a priest, he nurtures hearts. Like a doctor, he helps heal wounds that cannot always be seen. Like a teacher, he guides young minds as they discover themselves and their place in the world.

Not every calling is left behind. Sometimes life weaves them together and gives them a different shape.

Kudos, Dr. Father. Teacher Kamanyire.

Which Mountains Are Yours to Face?

What a pleasure it was to be hosted by the @growthlane in Entebbe.

I was deeply honored to learn that their May book selection was my book, Facing Mountains.

To begin our conversation, I invited everyone to share the mountains they are currently facing. The responses were honest, thoughtful, and deeply human.

We spent the afternoon sharing stories, laughing heartily, and nodding in recognition as we discovered how much of the human experience we hold in common.

One thing became clear: mountains are a constant part of life. There is always a challenge to navigate, a decision to make, a loss to process, a dream to pursue, or a new horizon to climb toward.

Perhaps wisdom lies not only in having the courage to face our mountains, but also in discerning which ones are truly deserve our energy and attention.

And while we journey through them, may we remember to enjoy the beautiful moments along the way, appreciate the companions beside us, and embrace the lessons each mountain has to teach.

Thank you, Growth Lane Book Club, for the warm hospitality and rich conversation.

A City Full of Stories!

We share a deep love and curiosity for stories.

As we walked through Kampala today, Geraldine told me about a storytelling initiative she is preparing to launch. She believes Uganda, and Ugandans, carry countless stories that remain untold.

I found myself sharing some of the stories I have long wanted to tell myself. Stories that continue to tug at my heart, even when time has not yet allowed me to sit down and write them.

Perhaps that is one of the reasons #WalkTalkConnect means so much to me. It has become a platform for collecting and sharing stories of remarkable people that I walked with with.

And today was a reminder that stories are everywhere.

In fact, our entire walk felt like a journey through layers of narrative.

As we approached Uganda Broadcasting Corporation, the rain suddenly began to fall. We ducked into the National Theatre for shelter. There, mounted on a wall, was a small plaque telling the story of the theatre itself, a place established in 1958 and woven into Uganda’s cultural memory.

Even the buildings were speaking.

When the rain eased, we continued to Balikudembe Market, better known as Owino. We wound our way through that bustling city within a city, a maze of traders, customers, dreams, struggles, ambitions, and livelihoods.

I could not help but wonder: how many thousands of stories live within those narrow pathways?

How many journeys began there? How many families have been sustained there? How many triumphs, disappointments, risks, and reinventions have unfolded beneath those roofs?

Then we made our way to the Lubiri, which Geraldine had never visited before.

There, our guide led us through yet another story - one of history, power, conflict, resilience, innovation, and cultural identity. The stones, the grounds, the buildings themselves seemed to carry memory.

And what struck me most was how our walk both began and ended with stories.

Stories hidden in people, embedded in places and carried across generations. Stories waiting for someone to ask, listen, and share.

We left with full hearts and a renewed appreciation for the storytellers among us.

Because stories do more than entertain.

They preserve memory. They deepen understanding. They help us make sense of who we are. They challenge stereotypes, restore dignity, and expand what is possible.

I am grateful for stories. I am grateful for storytellers.

And I am especially grateful for those who are committed to telling richer, fuller, and more truthful stories about our country and our continent.
