Great things are about to happen with this fearless influencer, high time I visited Sebei Land an area of disruptors like Olympic gold medalist & how fitting that he shares a name with partner in crime #Kiprotich look out & follow how this region demands integrity & transparency. In other news coffee will be taking center stage to balance out all the intensity that comes along with demanding good governance. #InTheTrail #ArtMyPlatform

Did you know that the person behind designing the prestigious #BBCAfrican Player of the year is Ugandan? We might be far from having a Ugandan soccer player winning this award but just imagine this. Every player that gets to receive this award does so with a Ugandan stamp of approval. #Art takes you places where many don't expect you to be. When OloyaPeter shared his story while we are at the Art school it revealed to us so much we did not know about the LRA despite being Ugandans who are expected to know everything about that conflict. It is amazing how a combination of that but especially resilience and focus has propelled Peter into the most viewed artist. If you want to confirm this get yourself the East African News Paper #ArtMyPlatform it is #Art influencing at it's best

About lad weekend, slaying with Mother #Introduction things she gave me more than a platform #ArtMyPlatform

#UGBudget17 of course #Art won't be an issue it never is whenever the budget is mentioned. But let me use this moment to reveal how #Art influences society. This is a picture of a talented oil painter and musician. Her portrait which happens to be of me was entered into one of the biggest competitions and now hangs at the Royal academy of art in London. Over 250,000 people come to view this exhibition that opened this week. So what do we learn? As you can see many artists did make the grade and each art work represents different personalities all inspired by what is around them. For @jo_shepherd_fine_art hers may be represent lessons learned from her travels which gives an insight into global issues once your captivated by what she painted and would like to know more. Maybe the painting next to hers represents a healing process at a stage of taking control of one'a emotions. When artists exhibit many focus on making sales which is important but for those that care about making an evaluation of social evolution, this is as good as it gets. Artists on a daily basis capture what cameras can't despite the impression some paintings could give. With every inc, stroke of a paint brush we on a daily basis accumulate metrics fundamental to a visionary leaders who then can budget for this country with long term view. To plan for the future as today's budget will seem to indicate one has to take accountability of now. What we have is a population that is desperate to be included but will the majority feel considered? For young people to start creating their own jobs and employ others, why not consider incentives over handouts? Like tax breaks which are commonly limited to foreign investers. Uganda is the most entrepreneurial country for the second year running yet not many of businesses started, survive the 1st year of inception. You register your business today without a mentor, and the next day the tax man is knocking at your door. You have to deal with high interest rates and all. How might we learn from history? As an artist I will continue to capture what's around me may be generations to come will have a reference point #ArtMyPlatform

A big thank you to everyone that has sent me birthday wishes. Bless you in every way. I had a relaxing day since most of the celebration was yesterday with my best moment being that cake. I decorated it myself to achieve that icing touch hihihihi #ArtMyPlatform I am optimistic about this brand new year, more encouraged than ever to persist towards a world I can be confident when answering my children's questions. Imagine that little soul asking why? and me answering because they are corrupt. And then asking what are you doing? And me hmmmmmm well I cannot save the world, only God can and through my perfect imperfections, I can live a mark which he uses to punctuate his message of Love. #IamAnOpportunity let us quit standing on the balcony watching while #Childtrafficking #ChildLabor #Landgrabs & all forms of injustice happen. We can answer difficult questions from our children even through our perfect imperfections by acting. I appreciate your patience in reading my long messages and encouraging responses, it keeps me going.

Calling on you friends loved ones, fearless change makers, artists, and everyone that wants to learn ways through which you can initiate positive change in your community. @streetlightsug will be bringing light to the unseen through a colorful event meant to reverse how street children are perceived. I am privileged to have created a platform on which this organization began. Their internship with us at Ludigo Creations (U) LTD was one of conviction that has since driven their creative journey. A spark in the rain lights not one in the sun brings fourth a fire and come this weekend those that were unseen will be through their talent and hearts melted enough to inspire and bring change. #ArtMyPlatform #IamAnOpportunity
