This Mother’s Day, a special spotlight shone on remarkable Ugandan women, thanks to a thoughtful initiative by Bailey’s Strawberry & Cream. Going beyond the usual festivities, the brand chose to celebrate the day by recognizing a few standout individuals whose work continues to shape communities and industries in meaningful ways.
Among those honored was Crystal Newman, a familiar voice and face in Ugandan media known for her inspiring presence and impactful storytelling. She was joined by Dyna Vence Ruvuza, whose fashion designs have carved out a distinct space in the industry, and Scovia Nanziri, a committed advocate working with FINCA to empower women and promote gender equality. Each woman received a beautifully curated Bailey’s hamper — a gesture that blended elegance with appreciation.
According to Nancy Nansikombi, Bailey’s Brand Manager, the celebration was about more than just gifts. It was a tribute to the grace, strength, and dedication that these women bring to both their personal and professional lives. She noted that the Strawberry & Cream flavor was chosen for its sweet, indulgent character — a symbolic nod to the warmth and love that mothers and women bring into the world.
The campaign emphasized more than appreciation; it was also a reminder. In a world where multitasking and pressure are part of daily life, especially for women balancing careers and family, this moment of recognition invited them to pause, breathe, and enjoy something meant just for them.
With this gesture, Bailey’s reinforced its role not only as a delicious beverage but also as a brand that understands meaningful celebrations. The campaign added a personal, human touch to a national occasion — celebrating not only motherhood, but also influence, resilience, and ambition.
So as Mother’s Day came to a close, a few extraordinary women ended their day with a toast — one that recognized everything they represent and the many lives they continue to inspire.
