In 2020 Project X, The Opportunities Are Here arrived in Uganda, presented by the Ethical Fashion Initiative and the EU. Surely the EFI’s most fun project to date, this televised talent competition followed a nation-wide call for young creative entrepreneurs in Africa. But there’s also serious agenda - building economic opportunity.

The hit TV show’s judges included Joram Muzira Job, Uganda’s top model agent, and in this fabulous interview with your regular podcast hosts Simone Cipriani and Clare Press, Joram shares his career story and advice for the next generation coming through.

We talk Kampala’s thriving fashion scene, how to use to social media to get ahead, strategies for winning over investors, and the power of following you dreams.
