Hello! My name is Babirye Bridget. I’m 20 years old and from Uganda. I come from a family of three boys and one girl, raised by a single mother. She worked so hard—taking on multiple jobs just to feed us, send us to school, and keep a roof over our heads.
Growing up, especially in primary school, I was fearless. I would stand in front of my class, completely confident, speaking without hesitation. It didn’t matter if the students were older or younger—I said what I needed to say and walked away, unbothered by anyone’s opinion.
But in secondary school, everything changed. I was bullied badly because of my weight, and my confidence disappeared. I felt small and broken. That’s when my journey with God truly began—especially in 2023. He listened when no one else did. He never judged me, only welcomed me with open arms.
Today, I still love speaking in front of people, even though my accent isn’t “perfect” and my teeth need braces. But I don’t care! I am beautiful—with my natural melanin skin and my proud African hair.
Lesson: Life may knock you down, but with faith and self-love, you can rise again—unshaken and unapologetically YOU.
