“Food” A very important aspect in African culture. Each region has its own favorite dish and it’s incredible how diverse the choices are.

Over the years, women have played a leading role with food production, either with the actual cultivation or the harvest phase, which sometimes can be more labour demanding than the former.
It’s always good to know the food we eat, where it comes from and how labour demanding production of that particular food is because that’s when we appreciate the monetary price attached.
There is an African sati that goes… “Even the best cooking pot will not produce food.” So, thank a farmer every chance you get.

Seven years have already gone-by since I met this beautiful girl Amach Mabior Kuai in Kakuma refugee Camp.
By then, the south Sudan war was still fresh and in my imagination, it was to be over soon.
I remember vividly when she mentioned that her worst part of the camp was when she was called a Refugee. “I feel like the world has turned its back on me, but I persevere because life is all about perseverance. I hope one day I will be called a Citizen”

It breaks my heart that 10 years after gaining independence, civilians in South Sudan are still longing for sustainable peace.

Parties to the peace agreements have continually sustained political and ethnic-based contestations, resulting in delays in the implementation of critical governance, economic, judicial and security sector reforms.

Let me tell you a short photo-story about Ugandan coffee from the Elgon region.
The altitude and environment this coffee enjoys are two of the reasons for its distinctive flavor. That aroma reminiscent of fine wines.

The coffee from this region is grown with love by locals in humble conditions. There are no large farms, so everything is home grown by men, women and children.

The region is remote and accessing it took us a 2 hours trek combined with some steep climbs.

Visiting this place will make you appreciate that unique full-tasting cup of Arabica coffee an extra.

This 42-day long lockdown got me setting up a studio in my living room about a week ago to take photos of my son Zaabu and just 2 days ago, @rahmashooz passed by for her birthday shoot.
I am seriously considering leaving the photography equipment permanently stationed here.

Uganda currently has a very delicate relationship with her longtime friend, Rwanda. The situation just makes me Miss Rwanda. Beautiful country. Beautiful People.
