The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
Which living person do you most admire?
I don’t look up to other people but myself because I work to see the best in myself. If I looked up to somebody, I may not know their flaws and I fear that they may disappoint me along the way. However, my parents, in both their different characters managed to help hundreds of others and still balanced their roles as parents. I look up to such people who never give up in life.
What is your greatest extravagance?
Travelling and partying; for me fun is everything and I would spend on it in anyway and at any time.
What is the greatest thing you have ever done?
Starting a film productions industry; for so long I had a small book where I noted ideas and story lines but when I met my husband, we chose to settle for where our interests fell and that is film. It was great taking that step even without being sure of the returns.
What is your current state of mind?
I am happy
What do you consider the most overrated virtue?
Everyone has their own rating but as a whole as Ugandans, we haven’t really got the level of customer satisfaction. We have invested in so many areas but customer care is still a lacking area that we need to embrace and make better.
What does being powerful mean to you?
Power is measured at someone’s milestone in life and his or her ability to balance other roles alongside that landmark. Being powerful therefore comes with the ability to strike a balance between the different roles.
