2020: What the hell?

If you're a Ugandan within the 25-35 age bracket and haven't heard of The Lantern Meet before, we are straight up judging you. The Lantern Meet introduced and set the stage for artistic expression through words. Over the years the group has changed but what has not changed is their love for the African Story. On this episode, we speak to Amooti Wobusobozi of Ibua Journal about the work they are doing in film, publishing and probably recitals! We talk about the evolution of the foundation into Ibua Journal.

Publishing in Uganda: The Story of Ibua Publishing

On this episode, Linda and Judith get candid about their career dreams and how that has influenced their further studies decision. They share the challenges they have faced while pursuing further studies and their hopes and dreams for the future. This episode was recorded in February. The world was very different back then and so much has happened in between. In that regard, we would like to disclaim that a few things have changed from what is shared but the gist of the episode stays true; studying as an adult is tough.

Level Up: School Edition

Do you ever feel like you are running out of time as you're coming towards the big 30? Somehow we all drank the kool aid that we have have done everything there is on earth before 30.

We also talk about the anxiety that comes with things not moving at the pace that we thought they would.

Death by deadlines

He is the co-founder and former CEO of Village Energy. Listen to his story and lessons learned while on this journey.

It is officially the end of the season. We are really excited for the 9 episodes we released this season. Our aim was to cover topics that were important for the most important part of our lives; careers. We had on amazing guests, who we are forever grateful for.  In this we review lessons, learnings and all the highlights!

On our learnings from Season 2

In this episode, we tackle how we are experiencing loneliness as young adults and the various ways it manifests in different people's lives. We are tackle whether it is an epidemic in our interconnected world? Or is the awareness easing the identification its symptoms? We delve into how bad loneliness really is, and what we can actually do about it. On a somewhat lighter note, loneliness has also been theorized to explain the trend of watching people eat on YouTube. Don't forget to leave a rating and comment while you're here.

Dealing with Loneliness

In the wake of black twitter coming at brands and celebrities for their racist adverts/ comments, there has been an increase in the number of people calling out others, mostly on twitter, on the horrendous things they have done? We explore if cancel culture has any repercussions beyond becoming a pariah on social media platforms? We also discuss a few of the local organisations/ celebrities that have been cancelled recently and the events that led to that uproar.

Should we cancel "Cancel Culture"?

In this episode, Liz, Gloria & Judith explore their career journeys to assess if they have been sabotaging their career progress. They explore cultural or societal influences that have sipped into the workplace and influence the way we (women) approach careers and career advancement? Is affirmative action working?

Are women sabotaging their careers

In this episode we sit down with Carol Kagezi, who studied and lived in South Africa for over 5 years to talk how to navigate living in another country, experiencing different cultures and norms. We also talk about how to integrate back into the community when you come back home.  Most people who have lived and worked abroad have a hard time integrating back into their home culture, way of life, etc. We take a stab at finding out why that is and how people should go about it.  

Life after living in the diaspora

In this fun episode, we pin down the elusive Joachim Ewechu, CEO & Co-founder of SHONA to talk about building a work culture. Full disclosure, there was a lot of whiskey happening in the background, forgive for being hyper all throughout the episode!
