She encouraged her to start by doing live streams of basic things she does at her home in France.

She says she had always rejected the temptation of posting her life online because she feared “looking like a villager.”

Namubiru has her "Timeless Experience" concert coming on next week on on July 26th at the Kampala Sheraton
