Remarks From His Collegues & Advisors
I have taught Lwanga Songsore at all levels of his tertiary education – bachelor’s, master’s and now Ph.D. I can say without equivocation that he is the most exceptional student I have taught both in terms of natural talent and work ethic. Not only does he understand concepts and theories, he can develop conceptual and theoretical frameworks drawn from the deep well of ancestral thought from Kmt: The Land of Black people. Lwanga Songsore is destined to make his mark in history as one with whom the Ancestors are pleased.
I see Lwanga’s presence and identity (re)configuration as part of his eloquent intellectual profile and promise and also as an extension of creative imagination in this virtual world. “This space” will thus remain in a perpetual state of becoming and visitors (who may sometimes instantly turn co-participants, co-creators) must keep adjusting accordingly, especially if they must benefit more than possible at any real or virtual moment.
