‘’For a couple of days, I couldn’t get out of the bed, I didn’t care, that’s not me. Then I started having thoughts about ending it. I could go in there right now, and just end it all,’’ the Washington D.C. native said.
The ‘’What Men Want’’ actress could feel herself falling out of her network with her friends and loved ones amid thoughts of self-harm. She said people were calling her and she declined to respond. At the moment she just did not care at all.
However, she said she finally decided to talk to one of her girlfriends for the reason of not wanting them to think she is crazy. One of the other reasons she revealed for finally talking is she doesn’t want them to come and see her because she still felt like she should be alone for a while.
She said that one day she just bluntly admitted to her friend and immediately felt relief after coming forward with the difficult admission. She even cast out the suicidal thoughts and said she now wouldn’t do it.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
