The Toastmasters Weekend oozed with so much verve.
We hosted a conference in Kampala, comprising over 20 membership clubs from Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi. The conference programme was lit, curated by a dynamic team, and filled with public speaking contests, networking, guest speakers, partying and lots of synergy.
Receiving my gift for serving as contest chair
Serving as contest chair always gives me so much pleasure and any opportunity to speak, dance and perform poetry, just makes me want to reach the clouds and squeeze them until they also feel the tangible joy of doing what you love, especially before people who already get it and if they don't, they're ready to.

Co-hosting the awards ceremony-what is not to love! Dancing with the winners and audience members-you can' put a price to that, can you?
It all came together. I joined Toastmasters in 2016 and for seven highly impactful years, started new clubs, served as Public Relations Manager of East Africa and earned my Distinguished Toastmaster Award. Since then, I have exercised those skills in regional and global platforms while continuing with my poetry and writing.
