Brenda Luwukya Namata

I am privileged to be the first Registered Mental Health Nurse of Ugandan descent to be on the Mary Seacole Program to share my story.

I was born in Gayaza – Masaka to the Late Dr Deo Luwukya and Mrs Jane Mary Nansimbi Babulirwa Luwukya. My brothers, sisters, Ssenga Assumpta Nabateesa, Maama Goreth Nakandi and Irene Nakamatte influenced impacted my life.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Criminal Justice and a Bachelor of Arts degree (Philosophy, Religious Education & Political Science).

My story shows how I challenged extraordinary hardships during nurse training to focus on what mattered the most.
