For years, socialite Shanitah Namuyimbwa, popularly known as Bad Black, has dominated headlines for her flamboyant lifestyle and controversial moments. However, the mother of four is now charting a different path—one centered on empowerment, healing, and giving hope to vulnerable women.

Through her newly unveiled Namuyimbwa Women Development Initiative Uganda Limited, Bad Black has announced the launch of a transformative event dubbed “Beauty Beyond the Scars.”

Scheduled to take place on September 12, 2026, at Kabira Country Club from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM, the event aims to shine a spotlight on women who have endured difficult life experiences but continue to rise above them.

According to promotional materials released for the event, Beauty Beyond the Scars is designed to address the silent struggles many women face, including domestic violence, sexual abuse, early motherhood, abandonment, rejection, and the emotional scars that often remain hidden behind smiles.

Carrying the message “No More Tears, No More Shame, No More Silence,” the gathering seeks to create a platform where women can share experiences, find encouragement, and rediscover their self-worth.

Bad Black will be joined by an impressive lineup of celebrated women from Uganda’s entertainment and social circles, including Halima Namakula, Suzan Makula Bugingo, Spice Diana, Karole Kasita, Vinka, Gabbie Ntaate, Christine Nampeera, and Nalongo Lewis.

Tickets have been categorized to accommodate different attendees, with Early Bird tickets going for UGX 50,000, Ordinary tickets at UGX 100,000, and VIP access priced at UGX 500,000. Interested participants can purchase tickets through the MoMo App using the provided event code.

The initiative marks a notable shift for Bad Black, with many observers already praising her efforts to use her influence and platform to champion causes that affect women across Uganda. Whether this signals a permanent new chapter remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—this latest version of Bad Black is attracting attention for all the right reasons.
