Life and Me delves into the intimate journey of resilience and self-reliance, capturing the grit and inner strength that propel us forward regardless of the weight of our past or the uncertainty of our present. This track confronts the universal quest for hope, echoing the expectation others often hold of us—how far we’ll go, how unyielding we’ll be. But at its core, Life and Me is a declaration: the recognition that salvation lies within. We are, ultimately, the heroes we seek, capable of shaping our own destinies and confronting life’s trials with unwavering resolve.
The artwork engages themes of identity, displacement, and self-search. Aksanti B., 2003, is a Congolese refugee artist based in Kampala; his work explores his life as a young refugee male who steps off his like, trying to make meaning with the space he interacts with and the people he meets. He shapes his dream with one brush stroke at a time. His work was exhibited at the UN headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland.

I know too I can change the world but I can connect as many minds as possible and inspire change” – Makano

The best day in my life was when we went to the Queen Elizabeth national park for a tour. We went in a big van and we used to climb on top of it to see the animals on the far end. I will never forget this day in my life. – Kabuye

During the lockdown, we planted a lot of crops including maize, cabbage and other vegetables so that they could grow fast and provide us with the food we needed since my parents were no longer working. When we were planting, it was so tiring but when it reached harvesting time, everyone was so happy since we saw the reward of our energy. I can’t forget that time – Mulukusa
