UNASHAMED SERIES - FEATURE STORY 1                     A CHANGED MINDSET  Negativity is an attitude that involves the way in which people see things, the labels they put on the things they see and the feelings they attach to what they have seen. It is a stone that can only be turned by you, stop, breathe and listen to the tiny voice inside of you that says " you can do this, fight on" regardless of the situations surrounding you.

                      UNASHAMED We have heard of the saying " no man is an island". We all need one another and to be the people that can be relied on. Tell a story Foundation Uganda is excited for it's women circle called Unashamed . Unashamed is a safe space for women that creates and rekindles inspiration through sharing personal stories on identity, passions, families,  and a multitude of things that many think should not be talked about or even be proud of. We believe that women circles carry in them diverse personalities that love earnestly, shoulder others at their weakest and sing with them at their strongest. To all women out there , the world is your oyster, go conquer it !!! Not only alone, but by rising to lift others too.
