Convos With Ekeesit Ekeesit Emmanuel

In this Episode, i had a very candid conversation with Stand up Comedian, radio personality, and medical doctor Hillary Okello. Aka Dr Hilary. Our conversation dived deep into how these laws will affect the entertainment industry if and when they are implemented. I hope this will continue to ignite conversations amongst all creatives.  Enjoy this conversation.



Note. The UCC laws were halted last week Minister of Communication Judith Nabakooba. 

I had a very intriguing conversation on the issue of Race,Xenophobia and Inequality with my good Friend Sisanda Ntshinga , a writer ,editor and podcaster . Sisanda has a very strong love for her country and especially a desire to help her black brothers and sisters in the townships of southafrica.

She draws from her personal experiences and loves to remind those that listen that she is drawing on her experiences and these are her opinions.

When speaking to Sisanda , my mind goes to the words of one of America’s great black scholars W E B Dubois “Agitate then, brother ,protest ,reveal the truth and refuse to be silenced” . I hope this session with my good friend infuses your soul with such conviction and power.

In this episode Ernest Bazanye , the man .the legend and veteran Editor and writer . He spent more than a decade at Vision group and blessed us with his Wit while writing “The Bad idea” . He has since moved one but his tact and wit has not left him. Our conversation ranged from his life and the lessons he has learned as he goes, to how we use social media on social justice issues. Ernest is currently working on a series of books and now has published Chandler and Frasier .You can find his work on Ernest Bazanye. Com. if there is one thing I learned from this man, it is this and I say it in his words “Not all of us can change the world but we can help to not make things worse” Enjoy, and do not stop having conversations and I hope you will take Uncommon Knowledge from this episode .

In this Episode, i have a convesation with Joan Agumenaitwe an advocate of the law and Human rights lawyer attached to the Justice centers Uganda , Branch In Hoima. 

We speak about what the Justice centers do in Uganda and how it helps various people in our communities access quality and timely Justice . She explains to me how they help vulnerable communities. This episode is meant to help us open our minds on how we can change our communities and Joan is doing this great work, she challenges me and all of us to stand up and learn how the law can protect us , and how we can direct those who cannot afford legal address where to find it. i live you with this quote by Joan "Those who prosecute others use FEAR and they do it because they know that those they persecute do not know the law" Enjoy

This is Episode 2  on our series on Intellectual Property. In this one, we hosted Cleverly and Austine. Lawyers from Tanzania. Who works with The Amani IP initiative, which is the biggest Intellectual Property Firm In East Africa. 

In this episode, we speak about intellectual property and what it entails. How can a person, company benefit from it? and how can we protect our ideas? It elaborates things such as copyright, patent, image rights, etc. This will go a long way to educate all the artistes and creatives in our country and the east African community

To celebrate the 2020 world intellectual property day. We hosted Ivan Ojakol who is an IP expert from Amani Intellectual Property Network. He brings a  great set of knowledge on this subject. Enjoy
