Delighted to have attended the G-Community event in Katwe last Sunday. Ever since my first encounter with @TheeGhettoDuke at Kisenyi in 2023, his guidance has always uplifted me. This gathering was full of wisdom, encouragement, and genuine positivity. I left truly inspired.

Watch these little stars dance their hearts out, smiles brighter than the sun, all because the Ghetto Duke showed up and turned the whole community into one big celebration. This is the magic he brings to the young souls: hope, rhythm, and unstoppable happiness! 🕺❤️ #GhettoDuke

Back home for the holidays, feeling grateful. 🙏 I thank the Almighty God for His guidance, my sponsors at @MDU and @thegiftofchess for believing in me, and my teachers for all their support.
