🎤RYSTAR QUOTES: 

IN HER OWN WORDS: Mildred Tuhaise told this publication in an exclusive interview that, "I started my journalism career at Top TV as a teen presenter as early as 2004/2005 meaning my career is almost close to 2 decades.

Yes I am pursuing a masters degree at Makerere and my research study is on pre eclampsia which is a condition that almost took my life in 2019 while I gave birth to my son and I aim to enhance awareness since it is the second leading cause of maternal death in the country and also leading cause of death at Kawempe National referral hospital.

I have also just completed a postgraduate diploma in management at Uganda Management Institute (UMI). I was running the masters and post graduate programs concurrently."🎤
