Brenda Nanyonjo Shares 10 Life Lessons

Truly life changing

This Saturday, @brenda_nanyonjo_miss.b will be crowning her 10th Miss Uganda. However, this event will not be ordinary. She’ll be celebrating over 25 years in the entertainment industry, where she’s literally done it all; actor, singer, fashion stylist, event planner, makeup artist, beauty maker, and so much more.

For @satisfashionug‘s March cover story, she reflects on her years of service. Below are 10 life lessons from her that will impact your life positively ibn more ways than one:

1. “Miss Uganda is all about empowering young women to believe in and value their potential because it is impossible to make anything work if you don’t believe in yourself.”

2. “Through Miss Uganda, we have been blessed to mentor thousands of young ladies. Some of whom have grown into influential women. For that, I’m proud of what we’ve done, and believe that if we stick to our core values, the pageant will be relevant forever.”

3. “Varied body shapes are getting representation. I think we just need to embrace change and also remember that European sizes aren’t the same as our own.”

4. “I always make sure that when we are selecting girls for the grand finale there’s always someone curvy, someone who looks like me as a representation of other curvy women.”

5. “As entertainers, we touch lives. We impact communities. We challenge the status quo. We create the beauty and light that makes living worthwhile. That is what I believe my purpose in life is.”

6. “I believe in what pageants can do for young women.”

7. “I believe I can do what I haven’t yet done. So, I’d say that the journey has only just begun. I’m quite excited about what the future holds, and I cannot wait to take on new challenges.”

8. “It has not been easy. The first year was hard and good all at once. I remember we knocked on so many doors that were shut in our faces, because two years in a row, the pageant had had a lot of controversies. Fortunately for me, people had seen and taken notice of my passion and professionalism.”

9. “I love fashion, I see myself going harder in that space. I also love the creative freedom acting gives me. I don’t think I’d go back fully into singing, maybe only live music and that would be live jazz because that’s my forte.”

10. “My self-care routine involves prioritizing my sleep. Even if I find it hard to fall asleep before midnight. I make up for it by sleeping in during morning hours; I make sure I don’t have morning meetings.”
