Tell a story

Every day, a new artist comes to the scene with one good hit and after a couple of months it is no more. We ask why ?  We discovered that at times some artists lack mentors to hold their hands, walk them through the journey and back them up, they only have themselves to lean on. Meet  Collin Sserunjogi, a passionate music artist in Uganda creating a safe space for other music lovers to commune,  grow,  celebrate and share their music. We first saw Collin on stage in 2018 during Tell a Story's bonfire night at Save Street Children Uganda.  The emotion in his music created chills,each string he hit was nothing but a story with a beautiful melody. Well, Collin started his journey from playing the guitar during his free time and being in possession of a unique instrument called the Cajon. The Cajon is box shaped and its roots are from the land of Peru, an Espanola speaking community. As my passion for music grew, the desire to cre...

We all love food , don't we?  I have heard some friends of mine say " food is bae, we are one,  I do not joke with food,  with food , I am sorted... haha".  But what about the process of preparing that delicious food,  it starts by you going to the market to shop for it.  To you that has hated going to the market place whether it is Nakasero,  Nakawa  or Owino because of a bad attitude from the seller, one vendor carrying sacks of food over your head, irritated by the commotion or that rubbish that has made a home in all corners. Worry not. Minute 5 is bringing the market closer to you Minute 5 is an online grocery delivery company located in the Pearl of Africa, Uganda .

On July 24th at 6:22pm, I sent a text message to Dimma on his Facebook page asking for his story.  At that time, I was burning with the fire to tell a story,  I saw his profile picture from a mutual friend we shared called Lynne Itungo.  I was so curious to  view his profile. My hands quickly moved to the click button.  I followed every post to the minutest detail. I could only see the love for banana fiber.  I was fascinated that banana fibre can make really nice products. As a young girl, together with my little friends, we only used banana fiber to make dolls and ropes for skipping. As I sent that message, I was praying hard that he could answer, and it worked he replied, and today, three months later, I share his story. As we kick start November, Diimas story challenges us to ask : Have    you acted on your idea the past ten months? Muhammed Dimma Mawejje is the team leader of Mawejje Creations, a social enterprise and banana fiber...
