Its 8th March again, the day Uganda joins the rest of the world to celebrate International Women’s Day. We caught up with the youthful commercial model and Version 86 TV host, Mugume Canary to share his thoughts about this day, the ladies in his life and much more you didn’t know about him.
In a few words, who is Mugume Canary?
I am this ambitious human being who loves to contribute to the Africa he wants.
You are a TV host, model, fashion blogger and an Information science and technology student at The International University of East Africa, how do you cope with such a schedule?
I also don’t know. But I have found out that the best thing to do is draw a daily plan of things to do, I won’t host my show everyday, the whole day. When I am not studying, I am doing something else like my project or recording my show.
Do you ever find yourself missing a lecture because you are shooting your show?
I don’t miss lectures because I am shooting my show. But sometimes I do when I have to run a few things of my projects or run errands or family issues, not so often though, guess once in the month.
Okay, apart from work and school, do you have any hobbies that keep you occupied in your free time?
Yes, I watch a lot of terrorism series.
Today is Women’s Day! As we celebrate the women in our lives, does this day mean anything to you?
It is so significant to my life because my biggest inspiration is a woman, my mother. I celebrate her everyday and this should be a special day today to the women we have in our lives.
Apart from your mother, any other women in your life worth celebrating?
My two sisters, they’ve got my back since day one.
Reliable sources have it that you are dating Sasha Ferguson, a TV personality and fashion blogger as well. How true is this?
Yes, we are dating.
We’ve seen and heard of many young people out there wishing to be like you. Any advise for them before I let you go?
You don’t need to be me, be better than me. Patience and persistence will take you there.
Any last words for your fans and followers?
Not sure if I have fans, but to all people who follow me, want to be successful? Stay away from negative energy, Find yourself a mentor and challenge yourself!
