Culton Scovia is the 2023 Inspiring female journalist in Uganda as announced by the African center for Media Excellence. She is the founder of Her Story Uganda, a feminist multimedia organization dedicated to reshaping the representation of women in the media. Her Story rides on the power of storytelling to create a platform that amplifies the diverse voices, experiences, and perspectives of women. There is a significant lack of authentic, relatable, and inclusive content that truly reflects the lives of women and a limited portrayal of diverse stories and experiences of women. The stories are stereotypical and unrealistic. This gap prevents women from feeling heard, seen, and understood.
