“Success in fashion is not just about creating, it is about protecting what you create every time. For designers, discipline in IP is what turns creativity into ownership and long-term value.” - @ronniensubuga0 @URSBHQ @NCFUganda #IPinFashion #RespectCreatorsRights

We’ve realized as sector actors in water and sanitation that the conversation has to shift from counting water sources to addressing water quality, maintenance of systems, and the long distances women and girls travel to access water. - Dr. Joyce Mpalanyi Magala, Country Director - @WaterAidUganda #MorningAtNTV

It’s up to the artist producing their music to come out, understand the structures, fully understand music, and recognize the value attached to it. If they don’t understand the business side of intellectual property, they will not earn from it. – @ronniensubuga0, Fashion Entrepreneur #MorningAtNTV

If you are an artist, you need to promote your work so much, even if it means starting with stations to play your work until you make it. - @ronniensubuga0, Fashion Entrepreneur #MorningAtNTV

Lack of copyright protection and limited awareness around intellectual property have long held creatives back, but artists and fashion entrepreneurs are now stepping up to claim their place and protect their work. -@ronniensubuga0, Fashion Entrepreneur #MorningAtNTV

Many Ugandan creatives are missing out on the value of their own work due to weak structures and limited awareness. -@ronniensubuga0, Fashion Entrepreneur #MorningAtNTV

Going live tomorrow on NTV Uganda to break down one thing creatives keep ignoring: Ownership. If you don’t understand copyright, you’re giving away your work for free. 🗓 27th March ⏰ 6:30AM 📺 #MorningAtNTV @morningatntv #CreativeIndustry #FashionIndustry #PAFA

We are proud to announce the formation of the Models & Agents Guild , a step toward protecting models, promoting ethical standards, and professionalising Uganda’s modelling industry. Together, we are building a fair and structured fashion ecosystem. #ModelsAndAgentsGuild

We recently engaged the Head of the Ngonge Clan, Kisolo Matthias Kaaboggoza Muwanga, and Clan Katikkiro @AsheKitandwe153 to explore collaboration on preserving and strengthening Indigenous Cultural Heritage. Uganda’s creative future is rooted in protected, respected tradition.

Thank you @fliafricahq for highlighting the different forms of Intellectual Property in fashion. From eyewear designs to logos, materials & processes, IP matters more than many creatives realize. Education like this strengthens Africa’s fashion industry. #CreativeOwnership

The flag of Uganda belongs to us the citizens. I will make a dress with it. Stop the intimidation.

As we celebrate this festive season, we honor Uganda’s rich cultural heritage, creativity, and the people shaping our fashion and textile industry. May this season bring warmth, unity, and inspiration as we continue to build together.
