In this episode, we hear from Gertrude Atuhaire, also known as Scarlet, a commerce student, entrepreneur, and woman of faith. She opens up about her journey from chasing the party life to discovering her purpose in empowering others and building Sami Beauty, a skincare brand born out of her battle with acne.

Through setbacks, self-teaching, and spiritual growth, Scarlet transformed pain into purpose and found peace in becoming who she was meant to be. Her story is a powerful reminder that you don’t need perfect conditions to begin—just the courage to try, fail, and grow.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

  • Failure and rejection can be the foundation for purpose.
  • You don’t need all the answers to get started—just faith and action.
  • True transformation begins with honesty, not perfection.
  • Being introverted isn’t a weakness—it can be your greatest strength.
  • Start with what you have; consistency builds credibility.

Press play to hear how Scarlet built her vision from scratch—and be reminded that it’s never too late to start again, trust God, and grow into your calling.
