What sparks the journey of a young Ugandan poet balancing her artistry with the demands of a pharmacy degree and a budding sports career? Join us as we highlight Loretta, an inspiring student from Makerere University, whose story of passion and perseverance is both uplifting and instructive. Loretta takes us through her daily routine, sharing invaluable tips on time management and the importance of exploring diverse interests in your 20s to find your true calling. From her initial foray into poetry during her senior one year to her current multifaceted life, Loretta's narrative is a testament to dedication and self-discovery.
In this episode, we also address the pressing issues that impact Ugandan society. We unravel the complexities surrounding marriage and love, discussing why some women grow weary of their marriages despite having chosen their partners. Our conversation sheds light on the dynamics of blame and the evolution of relationships. Additionally, we tackle the critical topic of period poverty, exploring actionable solutions to make menstrual pads accessible and affordable. Through the power of poetry and writing, we aim to inspire community-driven change and raise awareness on these pivotal issues. Tune in for a rich tapestry of personal stories, societal challenges, and the transformative potential of the written word.
