Her mother served as a Senior Superintendent of Police in Uganda, influencing her views on women in leadership and public service.

The documentary premiered in Guangzhou, China, in 2025 and later in Kampala in 2026. A community screening in Katanga, Kampala, attended by more than 700 people, was organized to make the film accessible to local audiences.[3][6][7][8]
