What if the challenges you faced in high school could ignite a lifelong passion? Meet Nabumba Belina Caroline, affectionately known as Belinda Caroline, as she recounts her incredible journey into the world of poetry. From struggling to understand the art form to finding her unique voice at Nabisunsa Girls' School, Belinda's story is one of perseverance and inspiration. You'll hear about the impact of her literature teacher, Peter Kage, and the older students who inspired her, making for a truly compelling narrative about the power of artistic expression and personal growth.
We'll also dive into the emotional landscape of the COVID-19 pandemic through Belinda's poignant works like "Release Me" and "Omontuwa Wansi," where she gives a voice to the unheard and the less privileged. These poems capture the collective anxiety and resilience of lockdown life, serving as a testament to the transformative power of poetry. As we explore the fluidity of life and the importance of staying true to one's core beliefs, Belinda offers insights into how poetry can be a platform for change and inspiration for future generations. Join us for an episode that transcends mere words and delves into the heart of what it means to find your voice and use it for the greater good.
