End of a Chapter, Same Voice! You’ve probably heard my voice on KFM; maybe reading the news, or perhaps on a radio/TV promo or commercial you’ve come across. Today, I’m officially moving on from Nation Media Group. It was a personal decision to take this step, and I’m feeling ready for what’s next. For now, I’ll be continuing my journey in journalism and media as a freelancer. So, what does this mean? • To my clients: You can still reach out to me for any voiceover gigs (promos, mentions, or commercials). I’m officially open for bookings! • To my students: For those I’ve been training, don’t worry, our lessons continue as planned. • To the next generation: I’m planning a new outreach program for journalism institutions and secondary schools to share ideas and the latest trends in modern media. I want to say a huge thank you to KFM/Nation Media Group Uganda. I’m grateful for the opportunity and the growth I experienced during my time there. To everyone who has supported my voice so far, thank you. Let’s keep creating! #Radio #Okidi #KFM

Building Beyond Dependency In the last few years, I have been sitting with this call for NGOs to rise above donor dependency. I find myself holding two truths at once. We must move beyond dependency. Not just because it is strategic, but because it is necessary for dignity, resilience, and long-term agency. And yet… I think about the nonprofit leaders I know. The ones staring at balance sheets that no longer balance. At math that no longer maths. The ones writing emails they never imagined they would have to write, letting staff go, closing programs, stepping away from communities that still need them. Leaders carrying not just budgets, but people, relationships, and years of trust. And I wonder: What does it actually mean to “rise above dependency” from where they stand? Because for many this does not feel like a strategic pivot. It feels like being asked to jump from a fast-moving train. In your head, you understand why the jump is necessary. But it is still terrifying. And the train does not slow down to let you land gently. So yes, we must move beyond donor dependency. And we need to be honest about what that requires. Building local giving is not a slogan. It requires trust. Disposable income. Infrastructure. Culture. Transforming institutions is not an instruction. It takes time, investment, and a rethinking of the systems we operate within. And transitions like this are never neat. They come with real costs, and real people at the center. This moment is not only a story about NGOs needing to change. It is a story about systems under strain. And perhaps the real question is not only whether we move beyond dependency, but how we build what comes next, while people are still inside the fall. I assure you that leaders are not standing still. They are experimenting. Adapting. Trying. Some things will work. Some will break. And in that process, we will learn. Moving beyond dependency means being serious about building what comes next. With honesty. With humility. And together. #AfricanPhilanthropy #BeyondDependency #SystemsChange

Provoked by others publicly? Here’s how to manage your anger nation.africa/kenya/life-and…

When someone abuses you or publicly challenges you, the first reaction is anger. Yet the real emotional test is not in the insult itself, but in the choice you make after it. It's not whether we get angry but what we do with that anger when it arrives. Read more: zurl.co/E90RE

Happy Eid to all the Muslims in Gulu City and Uganda.

The human mind is quite complex but for some patients with severe mental illness such as a severe psychotic episode, imagined threats may feel more real than the law ending up with cases where a person commits a crime amidst the illness. standardmedia.co.ke/health/health-…
