🌈First openly Non-Binary Queer Photographer from Uganda! Activist ~ storyteller focused on provoking conversations about Identity & Gender Sexuality. They/Them
Kampala Uganda
Joined January 2019
So I’m the very first openly Non-Binary Queer Photographer in Uganda! Also the first to ever win an East African Photography Award with a Queer project! We are owning and making history UNAPOLOGETICALLY! And I’m available for global assignments and talks! Currently based in SA 😅

I just got security called on me, AGAIN, at the airport because the woman in front of me didn't 'feel safe' with me using the woman's toilet. The amount of times I have been questioned, humiliated and directed to the right toilets is sickening.

I have not been child free for a minute lol and today it happened and look at me. On a Saturday evening, in my loving bed, scrolling away at my phone. It's 9:10pm and I'm ready for bed!? How? 😅 #parenting #singleparenting

New. Uganda was colonized by the Royal family as are many African countries. And for the fact that WE CAN'T GO TO THE UK VISA FREE is the most ridiculous thing ever. It should be their form of reparations! So no, I for one do not care. #theroyalsaintshit

https://t.co/nhBE3iFFml Did this a couple months ago and it just aired. Afraid to share because this is super emotional for me, a story of my becoming, through my activism, my photography, my past. Against all odds, we are here. Give it a listen to know my journey. @UNAIDS

Seeing a self portrait as a cover story for my feature is mesmerizing! Ahhhhhh thank you @GlblCtzn. What an honor! Not only did you see me and hear my story, you also encouraged me to create for the piece. Forever in Gratitude 🌻
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. This one of @CnstantBecoming, Uganda’s first openly non-binary photographer and LGBTQIA+ activist, is worth a million. https://t.co/yjH55aVXBf

I don't have the words to express how being a part of @BlkWomenPhoto has affirmed me. @pollyirungu came in during lockdown at a time where I was super depressed and thinking about quitting photography altogether because it wasn't supporting me and we are here! Only up from here.
We’re excited to help our member, DeLovie Kwagala (@CnstantBecoming), get their story out in the world! 👏🏾 I Am Uganda’s First Openly Non-Binary Photographer. I Want to Paint Its Streets in Rainbows and Glitter. Thank you, @GlblCtznAfrica ✨

I have not been this affirmed in awhile and this carries all the gist! Go read about me and my journey, how I keep defying the odds of hate and injustice to still carry on telling our stories because they matter too. Thank you, @GlblCtzn for amplifying our stories! I'm Gratitude

So I ordered groceries via @UberEats, and my driver got lost. I'm on the phone directing him to the right place and boom the 8 minutes of waiting time close. Got charged for my entire order but received nothing. They say this is standard. I was right there, waiting to cook. 🤔

Like y'all and masks were tight like that. All up in each other's mouth and nose. 3 years of all that intimacy adacadabra and poof! Gone. 👀 Like y'all had a r.e.l.a.t.i.o.n.s.h.i.p and shit. You literally THREW IT ALL AWAY! No chill. Typical human relations nowadays 😂 #mzansi

Ahhh @Blaise_21! Super happy for you. Same dream! Being Queer in Uganda, I have always hoped to walk amongst glitter and rainbows in the streets and this is wholesome! So living vicariously through you right now. Also sharing that please donate the Nigerian queer fund already✨
Since I was a kid,I’ve always dreamt of attending a pride parade, but staying in a country where LGBTQ+ pple are criminalize by up to 9 laws laws, I couldn’t live this dream at home But this is me now, fucking dancing and having my best time at a parade. Homosexuality boosted!
