00:01The Rolex stall rises, Namata now, not Elvis.
00:06They said it's easy to stop.
00:08I said it's not easy to change them all at once, so I didn't try to change them.
00:12I changed one thing, my morning.
00:145 a.m., Katanga Market, charcoal stove, no neon, just smoke that smells like work.
00:21Hands that counted capital in the bar at night now roll chapati and dawn.
00:25Same hands, different story.
00:27Eggs, chapati, onion, tomato.
00:30Crisp, rip, clean, neat precision beyond competition.
00:33I want them to notice my Rolex, not my body.
00:36Mama, old customer, one Rolex, my daughter.
00:40Namata, smiles, real smile.
00:42Two, first customer, not a man buying me, a mama buying from me.
00:47That is the million she was talking about.
00:49He returns, not with one million.
00:51With a jerrycan of water, he doesn't save.
00:54He helps.
00:55Friendship, not saviorism.
00:57That's what I needed.
00:58Someone to carry water, not count my sins.
01:01Boda men.
01:02They used to hoot at me on Coempi Road.
01:05Now they hoot at my stall.
01:06Namata, two Rolex extra onions.
01:09The community I survive is changing its perspective ways about others' choices.
01:13One Rolex at a time.
01:15She counts again.
01:16But this capital she can leave the bar with.
01:19This capital she can take home.
01:20Shillings from chapati, not from apologies.
01:2330,000, 50,000.
01:26Own business progress first.
01:27For the secrets in every secretary are better understood by their employers.
01:32And now she is the employer.
01:34He passes.
01:35The former boss, Bar Cololo boss.
01:37He looks surprised.
01:39She is independent.
01:40Yarn in combat to be noticed by the many who wonder for crisp, rip, clean, neat precision.
01:45He notices now.
01:46Not as a body, as competition.
01:49Mother, crying.
01:51My daughter.
01:52Namata.
01:53Mama, I make capital every night but now I can leave the bars.
01:57Those around me.
01:58Mother.
01:59Shh.
02:00I see you now.
02:01Not the child version.
02:02The woman version.
02:03And I'm proud.
02:04Disowned becomes re-owned.
02:06One hug.
02:07One Rolex stall.
02:08Night.
02:09Bar Cololo glows.
02:11She walks past it.
02:12Head high.
02:13Not running.
02:13Walking.
02:14She doesn't need to stay away from the roads anymore.
02:17The road is behind her.
02:18She is trying harder than life to only see them smile again.
02:21And now they do.
02:23At her stall.
02:24Elvis.
02:25So next?
02:26A shop?
02:28Namata.
02:28Writing in notebook.
02:30Now her notebook.
02:31Next?
02:32We change them all at once.
02:33One Rolex shop.
02:35With a sign?
02:36Hashtag CTU.
02:37Clean Tasty Ugandan.
02:38Beyond competition in reasoning with what resonates with their visions.
02:42Once I was tasked to research about prostitution.
02:46Now I'm tasked to research about a woman who researched how to change her community's
02:50perspective ways about others' choices.
02:52And she did.
02:53One Rolex at a time.
02:55One Rolex.
02:57Go to review.
02:58Two Rolex.
02:58Two Rolex.
03:02You're Questo!
03:03Two Rolex.
03:20One Rolex.
03:21Two Rolex.
03:21One in the curso.
03:21One of the traveling.
03:22Two Rolex.
03:36We'll see you next time.
