Keep Your Creative Passion Alive Under Pressure! With Nunu the Creative | Kelele Podcast Episode 6

Linda Butare aka. Nunu the Creative is the founder of Kwivuga, Uganda’s influential poetry and spoken word platform. What started as a space for emerging artists to share their work, culminated in a huge show at the Kampala Serena Hotel in 2023. But the pressure of building such a project took its toll. Nunu takes us behind the scenes of her story and shares openly about her fight with burnout and how she found ways keep her passion going.
