Media personality Flavia Namulidwa has opened up about the harsh realities of living abroad, describing it as a form of self-imprisonment.
In an interview with a local YouTuber, Flavia shared her experience of spending over five years in the United States, where she worked multiple jobs in search of a better life.
However, she revealed that the reality was far from the glamorous image often portrayed on social media.
Life abroad looks good from afar, but in reality, it feels like living in a cage of endless work and bills. You can work hard, but saving meaningful money is very difficult unlike in Kampala, where life feels freer, she explained.
Flavia’s candid remarks have sparked discussions online, with many Ugandans abroad relating to her words about the emotional and financial struggles that come with living overseas.
Her story serves as a reminder that while life abroad may offer opportunities, it also comes with its own challenges that are often unseen from the outside.
