Communication is easy. Great communication takes skill. Isn’t interesting when you meet people that persuade effectively? I recently met Nabatte Proscovia who hails from Uganda or if you like the pearl of Africa. By the way Uganda was just listed as one of the most beautiful countries in the world. I would definitely go back for a plate of matoke but let’s not digress.
Proscovia holds a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism and Communication from Makerere University specializing in corporate communication and public relations. This did not surprise me going by her great communication skills.
She confesses that when growing up, her folk constantly reminded her to write down goals and pursue them both in academia and social life. This is very interesting because it’s a powerful habit that empowers and equips children from a young age.
The young African leader uses her communications skills to raise the voice of women in Uganda and Africa at large. Her vision is to see a number of women in leadership positions.
Proscovia is not comfortable with how women are confined within stereotypical female roles and safe spaces, are gender undermined, are limited by societal norms or even face misconceptions about their abilities.
Self-belief and hard work has raised my humanity higher and higher every day. I intend to equip women to strive towards their self-actualization. Nabatte.
Miss Proscovia insists that development is self-driven and that for someone to experience growth and change they must work from the inside out. With time, they will take a bite out of the fat juicy chunky meat called success.
Self-development is very important to Nabatte. She is constantly looking for opportunities to equip herself. She is extremely happy to be a current participant of President Obama’s YALI. Here, she has made great connections with people who share the same vision.
Her knowledge on sensitization of women on their rights has been built and equipped through her civil leadership track. She has also developed a strong feeling and a sense of belonging to Africa. One of her goals is to love Africa with all her heart, to be part of transforming lives within and without Uganda.
One thing that is certain and more clear for her is a debt she owes Africa, a debt to change the negative perceptions of people towards the continent. To tell the other side of the story, the positive one.
I fully agree with you sister girl. When mother Africa calls, you answer with all your might lest she haunts you forever.
In the next 10 years I want to be the best public relations and communications officer in my country. I want to have a training centre for women activism in my country. Teaching and encouraging women to fully participate in civic leadership”. Nabatte.
Her long term dream and vision is to become the first female president in Uganda. We appreciate you Proscovia Nabatte, you truly represent a Young African Leader. Keep flying.
