🗓️ 7th Nov | 🕙 10AM EAT
📍 Zoom

Just 7 days left until The Last Lecture! The countdown to unmissable insights, advice, and maybe a few reality checks is on. Future you is banking on this moment – skip the usual Netflix binge and show up ready.

After all, who knows when you'll get another chance to pick up a life hack or two (no pressure, of course)!

Introducing Ms. Lilian Nakalyowa Kisekka, the dynamic Team Lead of "Train Up a Leader!" Lilian is an advocate for mental resilience, career development, and leadership in Uganda. With her unique insights into mental health, she's transforming the landscape of youth development through her organization’s focus on guiding young leaders and offering career counseling in secondary schools. Her life mantra, “You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf,” perfectly encapsulates her approach to handling life’s unpredictable transitions.

At "The Last Lecture", Lilian will tackle the topic, “Mental Health Resilience: Coping with Transition Beyond Campus.” And let’s be honest—navigating life post-graduation can feel like being tossed into a chaotic ocean without a life jacket. Graduates often encounter identity crises, unemployment woes, and the inevitable pressure to “adult” overnight. Lilian’s session will provide a practical toolkit to help graduates find their footing when reality slaps harder than the deadlines did in university.

Think of this session as a life raft for anyone struggling to cope with the real world’s mental health challenges—stress, anxiety, and the uncertainty of the future. Lilian’s wisdom, paired with her trademark sense of humor, will help you ride those waves instead of being dragged under. Missing this talk? Let’s just say, not attending would be like jumping into those choppy post-graduation waters without even attempting to learn how to swim.

Be sure to catch Lilian at "The Last Lecture"—it’s the only life lesson you won’t want to sleep through!

Tonight’s the big reveal! 🎉 Our panelists for The Last Lecture will be announced at 10pm EAT—get ready for some serious excitement! 😉 Keep those guesses coming... who do you think made the cut? 👀 Stay tuned, you won’t want to miss this one!
