When creativity blooms from the rich soil of heritage, stories that both enchant and educate take flight. Solomon W Jagwe, a remarkable visual artist,  joins us to weave a tapestry of his life, colored by the landscapes of Uganda and the pursuit of his passion in the USA. The echoes of his childhood, marked by the inventiveness of toy-making and the shadows of war, resonate through our conversation, revealing the roots of his artistic journey. He takes us through his educational journey, where languages and cultures collide, shaping his approach to storytelling. His internship stories, a humorous vending machine encounter, and a fortuitous meeting that led him to new horizons all underscore the importance of seizing opportunities. Solomon's commitment to his craft and embrace of his heritage illuminate the path for aspiring creatives, demonstrating that every class and every experience weaves into the broader canvas of our professional endeavors. The importance of telling our own stories, nurturing our cultural identities, and documenting our histories is a call to action for all listeners; urging us to hold fast to our heritage and share our unique narratives with the world.   sowl.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@SolomonJagweinstagram.com/solomonjagwefacebook.com/Art.of.Solomon.W.Jagwehttps://www.nkozaandnankya.com/  https://www.nkozaandnankya.com/mobileapp/            https://www.facebook.com/NkozaandNankya/  https://www.nkozaandnankya.com/nkoza-and-nankya-comic-book-series/ https://www.youtube.com/user/NkozaandNankyaSupport the showInstagram: @myafricanaesthetic Website: https://www.myafricanaesthetic.com/
