Rukia Birungi's Journey of Inspiration Rukia and her colleague posing with the UFF accolade together with Nkambo Robert and Aloyo Annet Rukia Birungi, affectionately known as 'Ghetto Mamma,' recently achieved a milestone that warmed the hearts of her mentors, Nkambo Robert and Aloyo Annet of Mediavision Academy. Rukia, a talented special effects makeup artist and passionate advocate for vulnerable children in the slums, brought her latest award to her mentors, a tangible testament to the impact of their guidance. This journey of success began in 2022, during a two-week filmmaking training program held at NETSTUDIOS Africa in Bugolobi. The training that was funded by the MASTERCARD Foundation, was a pivotal moment for Rukia. It introduced her to the intricacies of filmmaking principles, ignited her passion for storytelling, and opened her eyes to the power of film as a tool for social change.
