In this inspiring episode of the SheCentre Podcast, I sit down with Maritza — a spoken word artist, performer, media personality, digital creator, and co-founder of Kwanza UG — to explore how purpose often unfolds through unexpected seasons.

Maritza opens up about quitting law school after one semester, only to return later on her own terms. Though she never pursued a legal career, the skills she gained now fuel her creative and professional decisions in the media industry.

Through storytelling, poetry, and personal conviction, she’s navigated male-dominated spaces, unequal pay, and identity challenges — all while staying rooted in her passion for authentic self-expression. For Maritza, perfect self-expression means doing the work you were born to do — and helping others do the same.

🎧 In this episode, we explore:
•How quitting (and returning to) law school shaped her resilience
•Why every detour contributed to her purpose as a performer
•Her insights on contracts, content ownership, and fair pay in media
•The spiritual and cultural power of African storytelling and traditional instruments
•How to embrace your unique path — even when others don’t understand it

Whether you’re a creative, a dreamer, or simply navigating your purpose — Maritza’s story reminds us that your voice matters, your journey counts, and your purpose might already be in motion.

In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Tusiime Mercy, an aspiring politician and entrepreneur from Mbarara City, Uganda, who is boldly stepping into what she believes is her purpose: servant leadership. Mercy is running for the position of Female Youth Councilor, driven by her deep understanding of the challenges that young women face and her lifelong desire to be a voice for the voiceless.

From growing up in a small town and standing up for her mother in a patriarchal household to questioning gender injustices in school, Mercy’s passion for justice and equality has always burned bright. She opens up about her frustration with the unequal treatment of girls, her experience watching pregnant girls expelled from school while the boys were allowed to continue, and the systemic neglect of youth voices in leadership spaces.

Mercy shares how she juggled hustling after university, launching a business in event decoration and women’s products, and taking on the role of provider at home—earning her the nickname “Daddy” from her family. Her story is not just one of ambition, but of sacrifice, grit, and grace.

She believes that politics is not a job, but a service, and she wants to use her voice and platform to promote gender equality, youth empowerment, and girl-child education. Despite being doubted for her lack of political connections or marital status, Mercy is unshaken. She’s determined to be the kind of leader she wished for growing up—one who listens, understands, and acts.

So, is she living in her purpose? Mercy believes she is. And after hearing her story, you just might agree.
