This is My Story

I Came to Canada with $65 to My Name.

As a visionary entrepreneur and food scientist in Uganda, I led a decade-long journey of innovation in food product development, notably, founding a baby food business. My dedication to creating affordable, nutritious options for infants, coupled with my commitment to community empowerment, defined my career. Beyond business, I worked closely with women with limited resources and skills—teaching them how to transform local food raw materials into high value products, shift their mindset, awaken their entrepreneurial spirit, and improve their livelihoods. Overcoming personal adversities, including the loss of my parents and navigating a challenging marriage, I stayed focused on making a positive impact.

​

In 2017, driven by the desire for a better life, I arrived in Canada with only $65, making the heart-wrenching decision to initially leave my children behind. In Canada, I encountered difficulties finding work in my field but remained resilient. I took on various roles - from a raw material sampler in a warehouse to a health and safety officer on construction sites, and as a support worker in residential homes. Balancing these diverse jobs seven days a week, I showcased not just my adaptability but also an unyielding determination to support my family and build a future.

​

Despite setbacks like a major car accident, I never gave up. My journey is a testament to the power of perseverance, hard work, and possibility thinking.

Motivated by a passion to help others overcome struggles, I am dedicated to inspiring joy, freedom, and abundance in people's lives. My journey is a testament to the belief that anyone can achieve their dreams, and I'm here to guide and inspire you towards living a fulfilled life and becoming your best self.
