Flavia Tumusiime continues to share inspiring stories from her life and career in the “30 days of Flavia Tumusiime” series. On day 17, she posted:
“I was attending a friend’s kuhingira and I sat next to a beautiful lady, we greeted each other and I got to know that she was actually a relative to the bride(my friend).
After a few minutes she turned and said “you look like someone I know” I said nooo maybe you are mistaken. I was out of luck that day beacuse there was a copy of redpepper on the table and I was on the front page among celebrities who are still single haahaa. She said “I knew I had seen your face somewhere”. She went on and on and then got to the awkward part of her conversation. “But you famous people, where do you get people to date? Because I cant imagine a man marrying a woman that other men look at all the time. Do you even know how to cook? Hurry up and focus and leave that funny media business so that you can settle down.”
Well I was not surprised because I have heard this many times and continue to hear it. Relationships are the same…amazing, full of heartwarming moments and also painful moments. This is true wether you are famous or not.
It was a choice I made to not discuss my private relationships in public because its not proper and it also overwhelms the 2 involved if you have third parties telling you what they think of your relationship.
That said, the lady had voiced what many people perceive women in media as…even my own family has reservations sometimes but you see, we each deal with finding a partner our own way, and one needs to not let everyone’s opinion take you into a relationship or marriage to please the crowd. Because when the hype and noise of the crowd is gone, its your decisions you are left with.”
