Kabasigyi @ 35 🍃🇺🇬🇷🇼🇨🇦
Kabasigyi is a multidisciplinary African-Canadian creative, speaker, and storyteller—living at the intersection of survival, truth-telling as an introvert, and innovation.
At 35, she brings raw lessons from a decade of navigating mental health challenges, financial missteps, cultural expectations, and the weight of consistently showing up for others—from siblings and parents to extended relatives and peers.
In August 2025, something shifted in our family story with the birth of my first Italian niece. Until then, all paternal nieces and nephews from the late Mzee Ezra Mulera’s lineage were Black, with West African or Caribbean heritage. Her arrival marked a new chapter in our family’s evolving identity and diaspora story.
This blog, this work, and this vision is for her—the one who gave me an even deeper reason to carry this work forward with renewed purpose.
Her father never had the chance to meet our grandfather, Mzee Ezra Mulera—the man whose survival made our DNA possible. Mzee aka “Shwenkuru” “Shwenks” or “Tatenkulu” passed away in November 2019 at over 100 years old. This work is part of carrying that legacy forward—for the generations that came before us and the ones arriving now.
Through the blog Heal Grow Glow, she invites Gen Z and Millennials into honest conversations about transforming pain into purpose. From surviving depression, to navigating a consumer proposal, to experiencing homelessness, to ancestral soul-searching in Uganda—her journey is not polished, but it is powerfully relatable.
She is also known for addressing taboo topics and uncomfortable truths—subjects that can create tension or discomfort—but speaking up for herself and others is central to her voice, her healing, and her art.
Her mission is to help other Millennials and Gen Zs reclaim their voices, build community, and redefine what success, love, and legacy look like—on their own terms.
This is for the ones still figuring it out, still healing, still rising.
