In this first Part, Pumla opens up about her upbringing in a traditional Kiganda household in Uganda. She shares how growing up in a middle-income family, exposed to wealth but not interacting with the lower class until adulthood, shaped her worldview. Pumla reveals the pivotal role her father, a self-taught feminist, played in instilling confidence and self-worth in her. Despite her father's strict demeanor, Pumla recalls their special bond and how he softened for her, allowing her to manipulate and control him in ways others couldn't.
