By  | 

For our ‘Mother of Beauty’ March2023 Issue, SatisfashionUG sits down with Brenda Nanyonjo the driving force behind Miss Uganda. We talk about motherhood, life goals, and achievements plus where she sees herself and the Miss Uganda brand in the next five to ten years, it’s undoubtedly a must-read!

See a few excepts from the interview.

Everyone in the business refers to you as ‘Mama’. You’re always in the background mothering beauty queens. How do you feel when the tables turn?

Before, it would disturb me, but now, I’ve learned to enjoy it. It’s hard to believe but it has taken me time to get familiar with this. In fact, my son Martin never tires of asking me to plan a photo shoot. He tells me that I need to cease putting other people first and forgetting about myself. Truly, oftentimes during events, I’m worried about what the girls have to wear before I do for my own. Thankfully though, I have Martin who handles my glam team. And, to answer your question, yes it feels good not to worry about anything. To sit here, have my makeup done, and my hair coiffed, as I watch you guys pace up and about just to make sure that I look perfect, feels surreal.

Is a career in beauty something you’ve always wanted to do?

I would say yes! I grew up in a home where looking ‘well put together’ was non-negotiable. When leaving the house, one had to be wearing immaculately pressed clothes, clean polished shoes, you had to smell good, et al. One of my aunties was a fashion designer, another was a hairstylist, and my mom was an actress. I don’t remember ever seeing them looking unkempt. And, naturally, that rubbed off me. From a very young age, it was clear to me that I’d end up in the beauty and creative industry.
