At 25, I finally decided to write this book, after two unsuccessful attempts, one in form two (2012) and the other attempt after form five (2015). Both attempts happened after a strange encounter in life. Both encounters were horrible but if there's anything I picked from it, I love me a challenge, it is then that I think, it is then that I come up with ideas I didn't think I had within me, it is then that my creative juices flow. You know what they say, third time is a charm. Let's go again, this book is raw, but let's worry about perfection another day. At this point in my life, this book is my legacy, and my purpose. It depicts real life experiences that showcase perseverance, resilience and overcoming. Most people write memoirs or biographies when they are older, successful or somewhere in life, but this is different, I am not even close to achieving what I know I am capable of achieving, I just want this story told, and that's exactly what I am doing. If one thing should be obvious, I am so proud to be Ugandan, it is even incredible to be East African, but oh boy, what a time to be an African. Our stories have to be told, with zero filters and shame. Who better tell these stories than ourselves. Enjoy
