About late Winnie Bwire
Winnie Bwire was a multifaceted artist born in the 1980s. Her talents spanned a wide range of artistic fields, including acting, scriptwriting, songwriting, singing, painting, and interior design.
Additionally, she was a skilled baker, a businesswoman, and a devoted mother. She held a bachelor's degree in Industrial Fine Art and Design from Makerere University.
Winnie Bwire's battle with cancer
Winnie was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer in 2022. In a previous interview, she shared that she initially found it difficult to believe the diagnosis.
“I knew when it was too late,” she said, reflecting on how her symptoms did not align with typical signs of cancer. She noticed pain under her armpit, which she initially dismissed as related to her menstrual cycle.
Despite this, she made another appeal in August 2024 for an additional Sh5 million. Tragically, just a month after this appeal, her family announced her death.
