Actress and philanthropist Shakira Ninsiima is set to once again honor all fathers in style with the second edition “Fathers in the Spotlight”, happening on June 21, 2025, at Theatre La Bonita.
Following a successful debut last year, Shakira — the first Ugandan to consistently champion Father’s Day as a celebrated event — is doubling down on her mission to recognize the unsung heroes: fathers. Under her events brand Shaky Events, the Western Uganda-born actress has curated a lineup packed with musical stars and touching tributes, all wrapped in a night of gratitude, entertainment, and giving back.
The event will be hosted by Comedy Store Uganda’s Kalera and AjSwag 256, with performances from top local artists including Ronald Mayinja, Carol Nantongo, Levixone, Aziz Azion, Dax Vibes, Karole Kasita, Bruno K, Okello Okello, and surprise acts set to light up the stage.
As with the first edition, part of the proceeds from the show will go toward charitable causes.
Shakira Ninsiima
Shakira’s inspiration for the show is deeply personal. She was raised by a stepfather whom she describes as loving, kind, and fatherly in every way — a man whose impact inspired her to celebrate father figures of all kinds. Her mission is to shift the narrative around fatherhood in Uganda and give men who show up for their families the recognition they deserve.
Shakira Ninsiima is known for her acting roles with The Ebonies, her stint on Urban Life on Pearl Magic, and various series aired on DStv. She continues to use her platform not just for entertainment but for meaningful community impact.
