SP: Who is Sylvie?
Sylvie: My Dad was Luo, my mum Ruth Nankya is a Muganda. I was brought up a traditional Muganda, I actually kneel when I'm greeting my mum. She was a single mother and raised seven of us, of which I'm the second born.
SP: How did you come to get into the running of Miss Uganda?
Sylvie: After I had the agency, in 2001, I wondered what event I could do. Miss Uganda hadn't run for four years. I applied to Miss World for the franchise which became medium to showcase my clothes.
SP: Why did you give it up?
Sylvie: I did Miss Uganda to my best. I felt there was only one girl that benefited at the end of it all. I wanted more to be able to benefit. I decided to do the African Woman Magazine; a voice for every woman.
SP: What is your take on Miss Uganda since you left?
Sylvie: These days you don't even get to know when Miss Uganda will take place. People are trying to revive it but it is a big project. It should be a national event-for all people but that is not being done lately.
SP: Are you dating, Married, or single?
Sylvie: Iam engaged to Per Munk-Nielsen. We have been dating for 11 years now. My Kwanjula was in 2002. We have a son Adam(2 years) and baby on the way.
SP: Why have you taken long to get married?
Sylvie: I'm not your typical girl who fantasizes about weddings. We are staying together and I feel like I'm married.
