This episode is dedicated to exploring how we as Ugandans living both in Uganda and the diaspora can heal our past and look to the future.
I was inspired to ask this question because I feel it can be far too easy to become apathetic and give up on ourselves.
Is it fair to leave the youth to bring change? I think not because that then means we abdicate responsibility. I am not suggesting it is easy or simple however, feel it is important to have these conversations.
My guest Ssanyu and I explore these questions in this session.
