00:03You believe it's true. Quiet. Eyes wet but strong. You believe that it's true even when it's breaking every born
00:12in you. You believe your small Rolex stall will become something even when your own hands are shaking. She is
00:19not talking about me anymore. She is talking about herself. To herself.
00:23Give hope when everyone sees it breaking apart. That's my job. In the bar I smile. I give hope to
00:30a man who lost his wife. To a boda man who lost his bike. Everyone sees me breaking but they
00:36need my hope. Open hands. Trust when mistrusted. I trust you Musawo. Even though you came with a notebook to
00:44count me. I trust that tomorrow my mother will pick my call. Even though she didn't yesterday. Looking out window.
00:51Rainy Kampala night. Ignore the rain.
00:53Red flags in plain sight of the opposition manufacturing environments that intoxicated your own adorations. You see that sign? Bar
01:01Cololo? My boss put it. He says we empower women. But he empowers himself with us.
01:07The secrets in every secretary are better understood by their employers. I was that secretary. I closed the notebook. I
01:16finally understand. It's not that she doesn't have one million. It's that one million won't buy back the respect the
01:22child version of her had.
01:24I melted. Couldn't understand a thing before. Now I understand too much. Elvis. Whisper. I'm sorry. For the one million
01:34offer. Namada. Don't be. At least you offered. Others only take.
01:40Yarn in combat to be noticed by the many who wonder for crisp, rip, clean, neat, precision beyond competition in
01:46reasoning with what resonates with their visions.
01:49Look at her hands. Sewing kiting. Trying to make something crisp. Clean. Neat. Beyond competition. Trying to be noticed not
01:57for her body, but for her precision.
02:00For what resonates with her vision. A small shop. Her own.
02:04Judged by many by your bullet years out. Makes you prospectively in position of that woman pulled into prostitution.
02:11Trying hardest to see their own businesses progress first.
02:14She is judged by people who have never missed rent. Who have never been told smile or you don't eat.
02:20Dawn Market. She is not in the bar now. She is at her Rolex stall.
02:24She checks her sales notebook. 5,000. 5,000. 10,000.
02:29She is trying hardest to see her own business progress first. Not her body. Her business. Her capital.
02:36Every night's capital becomes mornings. Flour. Eggs. Chapati. Second morning.
02:41I find her. No notebook. Two Rolexes. Two teas. We don't talk about research. We talk about how much onions
02:49cost.
02:50Elvis. It's easy to stop, you said?
02:53Namada. It's easy to stop the road. Rather not easy to change them all at once.
02:58Them. The ones who judge. They eat in silence. Friendship. Not saviorism. Final hopeful tired.
03:06She walks away into Katanga Sunrise. Bag on back. Not saved. Not condemned. Still trying.
03:14Disowned. Disorganized. Disoriented. Demotivated. Yet here she is trying harder than life to only see them smile again.
03:22Once I was tasked to research about prostitution. Now I'm tasked to remember a woman who taught me that perspective
03:29changes everything.
03:52She walks away into Katanga Sunrise. She walks away into Katanga Sunrise. She walks away into Katanga Sunrise. She walks
04:01away into Katanga Sunrise. She walks away into Katanga Sunrise. She walks away into Katanga Sunrise. She walks away into
04:03Katanga Sunrise. She walks away into Katanga Sunrise. She walks away into Katanga Sunrise. She walks away into Katanga Sunrise.
04:03She walks away into Katanga Sunrise. She walks away into Katanga Sunrise. She walks away into Katanga Sunrise. She walks
04:03away into Katanga Sunrise. She walks away into Katanga Sunrise. She walks away into Katanga Sunrise. She walks away into
04:04Katanga Sunrise. She walks away into Katanga Sunrise. She walks away into Katanga Sunrise. She walks away into Katanga Sunrise.
04:04She walks away into Katanga Sunrise. She walks away into Katanga Sunrise. She walks away into Katanga Sunrise. She walks
