Manuela P. Mulondo, a prominent voice in the fight for gender equality, opened up about a deeply personal and challenging chapter in her life: her battle with depression.In a heartfelt revelation, Manuela shared that recognizing and accepting depression is not as straightforward as many believe. “Where you start from is accepting that I am not doing well,” she explained. “I refused to accept that I was not doing well until I got into depression.”At first, Manuela resisted the signs. She powered through her days, ignoring the mounting emotional weight—until her body and mind could no longer cope. The realization came in the stillness of sleepless nights. “The time came when I couldn’t sleep,” she recalled. “I took three days without sleep. I would question myself—what had fallen me? But I had lots of thoughts in my mind and nothing I could accomplish.”Amid the chaos of her thoughts, a quiet but firm voice within spoke to her, a spiritual awakening that pointed her back to herself.
