ABOUT JULIAN B. KIGANDA
FOUNDER, Bold & Fearless

I am an artist, designer, speaker, writer. I’m a mother, daughter, sister, friend. I’m a globetrotter, cultural junkie, dance fanatic. And being a native-born  Ugandan with mixed Rwandese heritage raised in America, has colored the lens through which I live my life and experience the world.

In my lifetime, I’ve been blessed to have some of the most amazing opportunities to use my gifts in more places than I can count. Previously, as the founder and managing partner of multicultural design and communications firm, I led and collaborated on projects ranging from award-winning magazines and Fortune 500 company web sites, to international marketing campaigns, and life-changing cultural and historical exhibits. As a community organizer with African Diaspora for Change, I have chaired star-studded events and led critical community dialogues, while developing culturally-relevant programming. As a performing artist, I have traveled all over the United States and to the Caribbean exhibiting and teaching East African dance, music and culture with Mbuutu of Uganda.

Despite all of these incredible experiences, I’ve also been knocked around by life—as I’m sure you have. But I’ve learned from those trials—which I sometimes wasn’t sure I would get through—that ‘this too shall pass.’ And when it does, I’ll be all the wiser for it. I’m still learning. Thank God for faith. It means that I can look beyond the immediate and hold on to the hope and vision of what is to come.

As Maya Angelou has said, “When you learn, teach. When you get, give.” My mission with Bold & Fearless is to weave all of those life experiences together and, along with my incredible team of contributors, share with you what I have learned to encourage and inspire you to live your life Boldly and Fearlessly.

I hope that you will give yourself permission to walk with reckless faith and shameless audacity into the life that the world is waiting for you to live. Because someone out there is waiting on you to use your gift to help them shine.

Welcome!
