During an interview with a local TV station, seasoned gospel artist Judith Babirye expressed her desire to live a normal life, free from the public scrutiny and the constant spotlight she experienced in Uganda.
“I have roughly 23 years of experience singing gospel music. One of the things I have admired my whole life is the idea of living a normal life like other people, walking without fear of who might see me. I found that freedom in Canada,” she said.
Babirye noted that many Ugandans were arriving in Canada and needed assistance with obtaining necessary immigration documentation. Her motivation to study immigration law came from observing a Canadian gospel minister.
“When I first came here, a lot of people from Uganda were arriving. After observing a pastor regularly helping people move, I decided to find out more information. I went to Carleton University in Ottawa on a scholarship. I studied immigration and migration studies for my master’s degree. The course addresses issues related to graduated students, refugees, resettlements, and migration policies,” she clarified.
As she spoke about her experiences, Babirye emphasized that God’s hand had been instrumental in grounding her.
“I have known only Jesus since I was nine years old, and I do not know any other life. The Lord has molded both my strengths and weaknesses. I prayed to God when I was at my weakest,” she continued.
She further stressed that she remains an active gospel minister, retaining full control over the new music she is releasing on her YouTube channel.
Babirye also cautioned Ugandan artists against allowing others to control their music channels, sharing that she lost her entire catalogue in a similar manner
