Christine Komukyeya Kabuzi

Co-Founder, Steering Committee, CEO/President

Born in Tooro, Uganda, to educators, diplomats, and women’s rights activists, Christine has worked in both the non-profit and corporate worlds in the US and Kenya. As Omubiitokati of Tooro Kingdom (Princess of Tooro), she has always held dear to her heart the rich traditional culture and, in early childhood, her mother played the “Enanga'' and taught that art to her children, including the children she brought under her umbrella of care.

Christine is a graduate of Wellesley College and graduate coursework at Johns Hopkins University-SAIS, as well as participant at the New England Writers’ Conference. She is an author/poet and has recorded and translated Ugandan folklore for children’s literature, as told by elders.

Even though Christine has lived in and travelled to various countries, she has always kept a keen interest in the arts, most especially those of Africa and Africa in the Diaspora. More so the traditional music of Uganda, and the continent of Africa.
