Hash Time with Nabuguzi Kiwanuka

Today’s episode is almost a replica, if not a sequel of the first episode. If you’re anything like me, chances are that you have listened to the first episode of this podcast and heard me in my oblivion of how podcasting works, sharing about how I believe new resolutions should be drawn. So in the same spirit, I invited Marjorine Nantambi to help us understand how vision boards work. The episode was recorded uniquely as it had a virtual audience present for the behind the scenes experience. Jerisha Namulondo, Natsite Winnie and Siita Victoria were the listeners in audience and they asked all the relevant questions that drove this conversation.

Kawagga should have closed these Entering 2023 mini-series, in the first week of 2023 but I managed to catch the much-needed rest. From his sharing, Kawagga is one of the few people who had a smooth ride in 2022. A couple of dreams were achieved and he continues to hope for the very best in the life ahead.

This is the second publication of our reflection moments with some of our 2022 guests and in it, we have Natiste. She is a teacher and the proprietor of KiLEMBA. In her moment of reflection on the podcast, I found it imperative for her, as a teacher, to highlight the difficulties (on the part of the students) that came with the reopening of schools, in Uganda, this year.

In the spirit of reflection and assessment, I ran polls on three social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram and Twitter), asking people what 2022 was like for them. Thoughts were shared and "smooth" ranked at 7%, "a balance of both" at 42% then "one hell of a bumpy ride" took the highest percentage at 51%. 

In this publication, Kaggwa breaks down for us his 2022 experience, specifically, the period between when his episode was released to the day I talked to him. He shares with us what he believes should be locked up in 2022 and what should be carried forward to 2023.

In this joyous, happiness-filled and merry-making season, we cannot overlook the fact that it isn't all about making merry for some of us. This journal calls us to be more empathetic and kind to each other so that we make the season easier on us all.

Cheta is an award-winning Nigerian playwright and in our conversation, he highlights the emotional value of having friends who still hear you, when words fail. The episode is a reflection of how possible it is for both grief and gratitude, to coexist.

For a couple of weeks, Nabuguzi has been reading the Woman Beneath Her Feet anthology (authored by Kenyan Writers). The stories and their relatability with what's happening in society are what got her glued to the end. The stories also made her feel like she's quite the kind who enjoys gossip and she's here to share the gossip and hearty laughter with you. It is a perfect way to start the week so missing out on it may be just one way to say you do not deserve good things, yet we know YOU DO.
