Here I am, in June 2015, amongst the Top 40 Under 40 women Executives in Uganda, for the work that my team and I were doing to promote, export, and nurture homegrown poetic talent.
It was a great honour to be placed amongst other noble under 40-year-old women from Uganda.
I used to admire my friends who would feature in the newspapers for their writing.
When I stopped dwelling on it, the opportunities came flooding in and it was not only Uganda but other countries as well, that became interested in our work.
I remain grateful to 'The New Vision' for this recognition and to other mainstream media like The Monitor, The East African, leading dailies from Africa; Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa and Tanzania, that have supported the work of the Beverley Nambozo Poetry Award and the Babishai Niwe Poetry Foundation.
When you stop dwelling on your desires, they come flooding in. I have tested this time and again. You attract when you stop chasing.
