Read excerpts from the interview below.
On Starting out
I had gotten to a point where I was tired of asking my parents for pocket money. I don’t think it is a great idea to constantly ask our parents for money. The habit can become quite irritating.
On Pageantry
Pageantry is a rollercoaster that’s also a great learning experience. Honestly, just like every competition, there will be only one winner. During boot camp, young women are trained to pick so much more than just a crown at the end of the race. After all, it’s just one crown. I owe everything to pageantry.
On the demands of acting
I’ve learned that the job is far from easy, especially when it comes to planning time. I’m now a great timekeeper. I’ve learned to be patient; I’ve always been patient but it has since gotten elevated because of this experience. I’ve also learned that creating a great project is a process, one that requires commitment. I’m also learning to work with people. I’m such an introvert, and this is a great learning curve for me. Of course, you can’t be on the same project with people like Cleopatra Koheirwe and not have a great deal of learning. You are consistently learning and evolving. Who wouldn’t want that?.
