CAN’T EAT COTTON

In Kampala creativity is a survival tactic and the second-hand clothing trade is one of the few outlets. In this episode, Bobby & Nikissi have a candid conversation with trained professional chef Asengo Fill Kevins. She chronicles how the economic conditions of the time pushed her into selling second-hand clothes to make ends meet. Operating between Kampala and her home village in Tororo (200kms away) she used creativity and ingenuity to make it in this highly competitive and vulnerable business. This episode was produced by Lesedi Oluko Moche with help from Patience Katushabe who is also the project manager. Directed by Nikissi Serumaga. Written by Nikissi Serumaga & Lesedi Oluko Moche with co-writer Bobby Kolade. Sound engineering & design by Ssozi Joseph.
