I've been skating for seven years now. My love for the sport sparked back in 2018 when I met Isaac, a classmate who had a toy skateboard gifted by his father. At the time, I didn't know him well, but we connected over schoolwork and soon started talking about skating.

Isaac showed me his board, and together we found a safe spot away from traffic where we could practice. Our journey led us to Makerere University, one of Uganda's most respected institutions of higher learning. We entered through the main gate on Makerere Hill Road, and that’s where I first stepped on a skateboard.

Of course, I didn’t push it the first time—I just sat on the board and rolled down the hill. It felt cool until I tried standing up and couldn’t balance! But from that moment, my love for owning a skateboard grew every single day. Finally, on one youth day out, a stranger told us about a friend who imported skateboards. That was my first real chance to own one.
