"AI is not here to replace the creatives. It’s another tool in the creative toolbox."
At The Assembly: Take One, our speakers shared how AI can help creators explore ideas, experiment faster and push their work in new directions.
For creators, that means new and easier ways to tell stories, create, collaborate and even turn your skills into opportunities.
Been experimenting with AI? The African AI Film Festival is giving creators a space to put that work out there.
Find out more about submitting your work through: africanaifilmfestival.org/

The last two weeks have been a powerful reminder of what collaboration can make possible.
The #Hope4WarriorsMedicalCamp2026 has officially come to an end.
23 Warriors living with AVN successfully underwent hip replacement surgery, while healthcare professionals also received specialised training in Sickle Cell Disease and its complications.
Thank you to Hips for Africa, @MulagoReferral, our medical teams, partners, donors and supporters for making this possible.
The camp may be over, but the work continues.

RAISING AWARENESS. CHALLENGING MYTHS. SUPPORTING SICKLE CELL WARRIORS.
Thank you to everyone who tuned in to Agenda ku Uganda on Dream TV for an insightful conversation on supporting adolescents and young adults living with Sickle Cell Disease.
With special guests, Dr. Annet Nakirulu from @MulagoReferral & Hannah Nanyombi, a Sickle Cell Warrior from the RareMark Foundation, highlighted the importance of early diagnosis, managing crisis triggers, challenging misconceptions, and strengthening community support.
Other highlights included the ongoing Hope For Warriors Sickle Cell Camp, which is providing 25 hip replacement surgeries for patients living with avascular necrosis (AVN).
✨ Together, let’s break the stigma, spread awareness, and champion better care and dignity for every sickle cell warrior!

@DrAyumeCharles, Guest of Honour at the #Hope4WarriorsMedicalCamp2026 Press Conference, called for stronger collective action to address the burden of Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) in Uganda.
“I hold SCD very close to my heart, and we need to find better solutions together,” he said, urging that discussions on SCD be taken directly to the @KagutaMuseveni to encourage the same level of commitment demonstrated in the fight against HIV.
He called on corporate companies such as @mtnug, Rotaract and youth leaders to support SCD awareness initiatives, noting that many people remain unaware of the condition or their own SCD status.
He thanked Raremark Foundation and other stakeholders, noting that the camp had challenged the @GovUganda and @MinofHealthUG
“On behalf of the @MinofHealthUG, I pledge to increase the budget for SCD to ensure that you have more beds, medications and human resources,” he stated.
