Teso on my Mind: The local market - You've got to visit the Wednesday local market in Serere. We call it "okisoni" probably from the word auction ☺️. There is nothing like it. This was my favorite market growing up. You can get almost anything here:- cups, plates, basins, food, clothes, saucepans, shoes, cows, sugarcane, bicycles, bricks, solar systems, sugar, bread, cooking oil - see? The list is endless.

About

I write about people, the worlds they inhabit, and the curious business of being human. I'm a Ugandan woman whose experiences across cultures have given me plenty to observe, question, and occasionally laugh about. Through personal essays and everyday encounters, I explore culture, relationships, family, and society—the assumptions we live by and the differences that shape how we see one another. I'm also a photographer drawn to the poetry of street life and the intrigue of abstract art. For two decades, this writing room has been my space to reflect, make sense of life, and record its many turns. Come in, browse the shelves, and stay awhile. You never know what might catch your eye—or give you something to think about.
