What if the story isn’t over, just paused?
In this powerful episode of The Gathering of Givers, host Jacqueline Asiimwe Mwesige sits down with Rebecca Cherop, the brave and visionary founder of The Semicolon Nation. After surviving childhood trauma, the loss of her parents, and a clinical diagnosis of anxiety, depression, PTSD, and OCD at just twenty-two, Rebecca made a life-changing decision: to pause, heal, and then rise, not just for herself, but for others navigating similar storms.
Her story is not one of endings, but of continuations. With deep vulnerability and unshakable purpose, Rebecca speaks on the quiet generosity of sharing one’s truth. She shows us how empathy, storytelling, and advocacy can become lifelines for healing and tools for reshaping systems.
Through The Semicolon Nation, Rebecca is shifting narratives around mental health across Uganda and beyond, especially among youth and communities facing humanitarian crises. Her mission is bold: to end stigma, champion inclusive mental healthcare, and remind every survivor that they are not alone and their story isn’t finished.
Tune in and be moved by a story that proves sometimes the most generous thing you can give… is your truth.
