Discipline, Childhood and Parenting Lessons from an Acholi Mother in Uganda
A personal reflection on childhood, family, discipline and the lessons that follow us into adulthood.
I'm a development practitioner and writer, shaped by experiences growing up in northern Uganda and working across Africa and Asia. This is where I share perspectives on peace, governance, leadership, culture, and the ordinary stories that make us human.
My journey began in northern Uganda, where growing up during years of conflict shaped the way I understand peace, justice, community and development.
Over the years, my professional work has taken me through humanitarian and development operations across Africa and Asia, including communities affected by conflict, natural disasters and recovery.
Beyond my professional work, I write. I'm fascinated by ordinary stories, cultural observations, conversations, contradictions and the experiences that reveal something deeper about how people live.
