We finally managed to wrap the TV series, Tatu Taps on Love during the internet lockdown in Uganda.
It was two and a half months of waking up early, long days, and pushing through despite the challenges. Now it’s done, and it feels good to say we finished. Grateful to everyone who showed up and made it possible.
