Tazibone, a figure known for her style, has revealed her personal choice to embrace celibacy. When discussing the complexities of dating in Kampala, she offers a pragmatic perspective.
“Date like a detective, not a poet,” Tazibone advises, emphasizing the need for careful observation rather than idealistic assumptions. She further cautions against assuming exclusivity in relationships within the city, describing Kampala as a “shared resource.”
Beyond romance, Tazibone touches on various aspects of life in Kampala. She notes the pervasive friendliness but warns against mistaking casual social invitations for concrete plans. On the topic of fashion, she critiques the repetitive ‘shimmery bodysuit’ trend among female musicians and suggests that dramatic stage outfits are sometimes a necessity when the performances themselves lack flair.
Adulting, according to Tazibone, comes with its own set of challenges, including the inescapable nature of loans and the demands of “black tax,” where earning adults are expected to support family members. She also expresses mild annoyance at the generally slow pace of people walking in the city.
If financial constraints were removed, Tazibone envisions a life of unrestrained travel, with her location dictated by spontaneous desires for meals and moods. Her relationship with social media is summed up as “vibes and inshAllah,” distinguishing it from what she sees as the performative nature of others’ online presence.
