The Nabagereka, Queen of Buganda, recently visited Dallas, Texas, where she engaged with various stakeholders and residents, bringing the rich culture and heritage of Buganda to the forefront. During her visit, the Nabagereka participated in a series of events aimed at promoting cultural awareness and community engagement. The highlight of her visit was the “Ekisakate,” a cultural event that showcased the traditions and values of Buganda. Ekisakate, which translates to “royal enclosure,” is a program dedicated to teaching children about Buganda’s cultural heritage, societal values, and proper conduct.

The event was particularly significant for children born in the USA, as it provided them with a deep understanding of their roots and ancestry. Through various activities, including traditional dances, storytelling, and workshops, children were immersed in the rich traditions of Buganda. One of the notable activities during the Ekisakate was a series of soccer matches, which brought together children and adults in a spirited display of teamwork and sportsmanship. The matches served as a fun and engaging way to reinforce community bonds and cultural pride.

The Nabagereka’ s visit to Dallas was a resounding success, leaving a lasting impact on the community. Her interactions with local stakeholders and residents highlighted the importance of preserving cultural heritage and fostering a sense of unity among Ugandans in the diaspora. The event not only celebrated the beauty of Buganda’s culture but also emphasized the significance of passing down these traditions to future generations. By teaching children about their heritage, the Ekisakate event ensured that the values and customs of Buganda will continue to thrive, even far from home.
