CEO/ Founder of LAMALO ESSENTIALS Agripreneur Agribusiness in value chain (Oil seed sector Uganda) Multiple Award winner 🏆 🥇 Co-founder of Mirembe Noble Cause Foundation
Embracing the teachings of the Baha'i faith has always driven my passion to serve humanity. And I believe I can serve humanity in various ways including the projects and businesses I do 🥰. Transitioning from Uganda to Canada was a leap of faith, leaving behind cherished projects that echoed with purpose. Yet, through the marvel of online connectivity, I've nurtured those endeavors, fostering a sense of unity that knows no bounds. Now, as I reflect on how to further merge my passions, I've embarked on a new journey: introducing the vibrant crafts of East Africa to the Canadian market. But this venture is more than commerce ; it's a channel for change, It's about expanding the reach of Lamalo Essentials while also supporting and simultaneously uplifting youth and women-led organizations that make hand made crafts in Uganda, empowering them to share their beautiful creations with the world. This endeavor isn't just about business; it's a heartfelt mission to reconnect with my roots, celebrate the richness of African culture, and build bridges of understanding in my new community. Each step forward fills me with purpose and joy, knowing that we're collectively weaving a tapestry of unity and empowerment. This is still a work in progress but the vision is big ..... I invite you to join me on this transformative journey of bridging continents, celebrating the mosaic of diversity, and making a lasting impact. Together, let's craft a future where borders fade, and opportunities flourish for all. 🌍💫 #BridgingCultures #EmpoweringCommunities #CraftingConnections##EastAfricanCraftsCanada

#OpenArm Initiatives: Embracing The Heart Of Gold "The real beauty and sincerity of human-being, is embedded with great generosity of spirit to the society," -Atolagbe, Babatunde Adegboyega Piero Ferrucci, an Italian psychotherapist, in his book, entitled, "The Power Of Kindness" told us to embrace the innate power within us all, to make a difference through kindness.

In #OpenArm initiatives, our acts of kindness have a profound impact on the receiver thereby fostering #happiness, connection and over well-being of the #poor Nigerians. Furthermore, Ferrucci in his book, argued that kindness has the potential to counteract the negative effects of a cynical and self-centred society.

Seeking Your Thoughts: I was recently advised not to post about the situation in Palestine 🇰🇼 and Israel on LinkedIn, as it might negatively impact my career now or in the future. Personally, I feel strongly about supporting Palestine and raising awareness of what’s happening. I’m curious—do you believe that sharing views on such sensitive topics can affect one's professional growth on platforms like LinkedIn? How do you handle discussing important global issues while maintaining your professional image? I’d appreciate hearing your perspectives. #Palestine #IsraelPalestine #ProfessionalGrowth #CareerAdvice #GlobalIssues #LinkedInCommunity

It is a great video; if you are from #southafrica, you should observe it, listen, and learn. #hamasisis #standwithisrael #standwithhumanity
Look, it's the apartheid... NOT! This is exactly what I see each time that I go to the Tel Aviv University. This is everyone's home, Jews and Arabs living together. I personally find it offensive when the term 'apartheid' is casually applied to describe the situation in Israel. I believe such comparisons minimize the immense suffering endured by the people of #southafrica during the era of apartheid. Stop diminishing the significance of what the people of color in South Africa went through with the loose associations! #southafrica #apartheid #israel #students #campus #campuslife #tau #telaviv #universitylife #advocacy_israel
