Journey
May Ruth Nankya, born on July 27, 1954, in Uganda, etched her name into the gospel music scene with a distinct blend of passionate vocals and deep spiritual narrative. Her debut EP, "Mbikolera Mwami Wange," released in 2001, introduced audiences to worship anthems like "Okweebaza" and "Nziriramu," sung in her native Luganda. Her music resonated across East Africa, touching the hearts of many with its emotive depth and unwavering devotion. Educated at Bina Primary and Kitante Secondary School, Ruth not only championed gospel music but also broke into international trade. She imported clothing and fashion goods from the UK, Italy, and China, inspiring a wave of women entrepreneurs in her community by showing the possibilities beyond traditional limits. Anchored by the words of Psalm 125:1, Ruth's Christian faith was both a refuge and a guiding star through life's trials. A devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, she instilled values of love, resilience, and ambition in her progeny. May Ruth Nankya's peaceful departure on May 14, 2025, marked the end of a radiant life journey, but her influence endures in the hearts of those she uplifted and inspired.
