There is no perfect description for this woman. She has been a bed fellow with controversy. However, despite all the drama that sorrounds her name, like her past has proven, she emerges victorious.
She is a woman who has dared to make it her personal business to address the issues of the poor future mothers.
A woman who knows her s3xuality is a woman to beckon, but if you also have papers to back your knowledge up, you’re a femme fatale. Dr Stella Nyanzi is a medical anthropologist with a PhD from the University of London based on ethnographic fieldwork of youth sexualities, sexual and reproductive health in The Gambia.
Nyanzi, a mother of three including twins was once married to their father albeit the story is a teary one. Perhaps, she’s one of those fine works of art whose pricelessness would have never passed had the painter not been in pain.
Anyway, after startling all and sundry last week when she organised the “Pads4GirlsUg” campaign on her way to the CID to answer questions concerning her unparalleled profanity towards the First Lady Janet Museveni, it now wouldn’t be a surprise if Nyanzi would literally move a mountain if it dared stand in her way.
Nyanzi, a naloongo (mother of twins) whose campaign to provide pads to underprivileged girls is growing by the minute, is an old girl of Gayaza High School whose Facebook wall has never seen a boring day.
Unlike most social media honchos with a huge following, Nyanzi communicates with every single one of the hundreds of her followers and that alone should tell you of the integrity and the big heart that pumps in her very intelligent fearless chest.
We celebrate you Dr Stella Nyanzi.
