"If a human being dares to be bigger than the condition into which she was born, it means so can you." "I am a human being, nothing human can be alien to me. That's one thing I'm learning." 🎥 A Chris Mogal production #BlackPearlsStrong 🖤♥️

www.monitor.co.ug/uganda/sport... Looking ahead, Koyokoyo acknowledges that women’s rugby has made strides locally but genuine growth will only come through better structures, stronger support systems and greater visibility. My English captured in this Daily Monitor Sport piece by Fred Mwambu.

Anyway, we will keep the boys separate from the girls no mixing. The boys will be minis ages 6-8, 8-10, 10-12 & 12-14. That'll happen during the week. We usually coach girls on the weekends. our girls groups are also expanding & w/a bit of extra money we can hopefully get another 2 teams for girls.

here & humiliate the man publicly to get him to do the right thing. I was also concerned abt how difficult this might get for his kids. 14 & 18 yo. girls. So that was the drama.

for the girls. So after that he refuses to have his girls at least in education. It has been nearly a 2 month battle keeping the 1 girl in school. And unfortunately for her she had to fight her own father. Luckily her mother was on her side. it got to the point that we were going to go w/a celebrity

Also in good news we have our 1st Roma player in college, next year in university. I had to fight her father bc he blocked all of our players in the north from going to an educational course, insisting his 2 daughters don't need education beyond basic HS. Conveniently that's when state support ends.

I always explained my focus is on girls only & what I do w/Revolution takes a lot of time & money. But 2 things changed; 1. The boys' parents will pay which means that helps me pay for coaches & get more equipment for girls. We don't charge them as much as it is monthly for football schools here...

but we will take the money to support our activities. I also started working w/autistic kids here as well by teaching them rugby. I don't charge them but that helped change my mind to take other opportunities. Also @helkoybut.bsky.social told me that we need to stop stubborn men from the getgo....

To our much loved families, friends, fans, well wishers and supporters 😍🥰; your favourite gems wish you and your special people a Merry Christmas! 🎄🤗🥰 #BlackPearlsStrong 🖤❤️ #MerryChristmas
