Nature keeps surprising me for sure. It’s beautiful to be part of this thing called life.
There was something deeply nostalgic about being at #UFF2026 a reminder that feminist spaces still make room for honesty, care, dissent, joy, and collective dreaming. In a world shaped by exclusion, feminist organizing continues to insist: another world is possible.
What becomes of the world when truth and rule of law is pushed to the margins????
I think my single era might be permanent tbh.
Rest is not a reward — it is a necessity. In a world that asks us to keep going, choose to pause. Maya Angelou.
Today we celebrate diversity, dignity, and the right for everyone to live freely and authentically. On IDAHOBIT 2026, let’s continue standing against discrimination and building inclusive communities for all. #IDAHOBIT2026 #Equality #Inclusion #HumanRights
We live in a time of ancient hatred and emerging threats but as a trans Ugandan ,I refuse to be disappeared and I shall create my own narrative.
As we celebrate #IDAHOBIT2026, I’m reminded that democracy should mean more than just systems and elections — it should mean freedom, dignity, safety, and belonging for everyone, including trans Ugandans and queer communities. No one should have to hide parts of themselves to survive.
A place to breathe,be and call home. The Nange healing and harm reduction centre for trans and queer Ugandans.
Evidence without trust with the communities you work with and for is just another piece of information.
I have little power. But I have a spine and integrity. I have few means. But I have a strong belief every person born on this planet has a right to life in dignity. I don’t have solutions. But I will continue asking questions, learning from history, and working together with my peers.
Had a squashy after a long day of work. Yooo this sun needs to let me be for sure like what in the actual world is this heat.
Hello, my name is Monalisa. I am thrilled to announce that I have absolutely nothing to announce today. No new role. No major milestone. Not even a “delighted to share” moment. Just here, existing, doing my best, and wishing everyone an amazing day. Sometimes that’s the update. 🙂

We held our first book club review gathering . It was Chimamanda’s Dream count that we dissected and made sense of today.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
In my free time I enjoy the little fun things of life like cooking. How about you?
I recently attended the #Bikukwatako campaign by Size Yange, a powerful conversation about bodily autonomy and learning to cherish the body we have. A reminder that our bodies are our own. They carry our stories, our strength, and our uniqueness and they deserve respect, care,
