\u201cLife is what you make it, that\u2019s how I live my life;\u201d these are first pearls of wisdom singer Winnie Nwagi shared during the premiere show of Tusker Malt Conversessions, a virtual video series that went live on YouTube on Sunday evening. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first of the monthly music offerings has Winnie Nwagi taking center stage, performing beautiful acoustic medleys of some of her best hit songs and revealing the inspiration behind the songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nwagi kicks off her set with her melodic song \u201cShow Me,\u201d with others like \u201cMusawo,\u201d \u201cMatala,\u201d interspersed with bits and snippets enlightening her audience about her persona and music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tusker Malt Conversessions is about music and conversations with the audience, so Winnie does not shy away from topics that are a tad controversial such as the well-known past incident between her and her house help, revealing how there is always two sides to a story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI will never forget that saga till the day I die. People marked me as a bad person because of that maid. But, shouldn\u2019t and don\u2019t talk about things that you don\u2019t know. \u00a0Those people (maids) are ungrateful. Of course there are good ones, but if you land on a bad one, you should just part ways \u2026 What I\u2019m trying to say is, be kind. Be kind,\u201d she tells those who rush to judge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nwagi\u2019s episode is a charmingly candid and honest Conversession connecting her to her audiences and she delves into the topic of thick women in showbiz and how she overcame her insecurities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSince I started music, people would always judge me. They used to think a thick person can\u2019t dance in videos. We used to see skinny girls but when I came into this industry things changed, I brought the fire and energy. I actually think thick women are better dancers,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The singer goes on to praise thick women out there who unapologetically love their bodies and are living the best version of themselves confidently with healthy mindsets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTusker Malt Conversessions is a beautiful way for artistes to let fans in on their musical journey while entertaining them at the same time. It is a refreshing way to present Uganda\u2019s finest musicians. This is just the beginning,\u201d says Elizabeth Mutamuliza, Premium Beers Brand Manager at UBL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
