COVID-19 and How It Impacts My Life: Uganda Queer Short Stories - Desert Island Series Henrietta The Desert Island Series are about COVID-19 and daily activities of life among the LGBTIQQ of Uganda. These are radical compositions countering deficit narratives used to justify othering, marginalization, externalisation and peripheralisation. This is an art of crafting, claiming and consolidating space for Queer persons to talk about, demand and recognise how they can promote self-determination and quality life. In the stories we celebrate innovations, executions and translations that culminate into lived realities and destinies.

They are doing it in a unique or as they want to put it, "in a way they feel involved, to contribute to a better world." They found time to interrogate how best they could present their youthful vigour at an international panel. This is how they describe themselves:   "We planned debated, discussed, tried out this and that. Finally a format was created. When we bring our heads together things work out better. We are able to identify what has to be done by whom and when. Team work supports collective input. Join us for a "Changing the Story" Film Festival. We have put up activities on our pages.

We are so happy to celebrate WALAI team, animating "living together in peace!" After the recently concluded COVID-19 Loser Africa "Do No Harm" Campaign, we resolved to create Prevention Communities of Best Practices. We want to make our communities tolerate us. We join hands and hope this relationship will be built around creating and owning self esteem narratives as CBO groups willing to "take health in their hands!" We hope that all other LGBTIQQ leaders will be pleased to support our narrative. Our appeal goes out to some out there who are prone to toxicity and negativity for once to think harder. Don't talk behind our backs, don't stick daggers in our backs. Health is a beneficial resource which can enable us build a support system from scratch. Support us as we posit the following: LGBTIQQ Identity Can Be Used For Creating Self Esteem in Homestead Communities Through Strategic Self-Esteem and Rapport Building Activities...
