Namakula's career was derailed by the entertainment industry's COVID mandates. Now she's fighting back by running to be the NY president of SAG-AFTRA. Victory, however, may require exposing shocking levels of corruption within the union. Namakula is a multimedia artist who graduated from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. She went on to develop a robust career spanning over 20 years in NYC, working throughout the US and Europe as a commercial video editor, creative producer, actor, VO talent, writer and casting director, at a high level. She's supported and spearheaded commercials, industrials, webseries, art films, live events and has worked with top tier ad agencies and production companies, on accounts ranging from multi-million dollar prestige brands to indie projects. She's also a bass player, known as "Nasejje", currently in the indie rock duo, FINE PRINT. In the last few years, she and 1000s of SAG-AFTRA members have suffered work stoppage due to the union pushing unscientific, medical mandates as a contingency for employment. This, and the discovery of rife corruption within the guild, has been the impetus for her SAG-AFTRA NY Local Presidential candidacy, (August 2023). https://www.namakula.com/artivist 0:00:00 -- Intro. 0:03:37 -- Renaissance Woman and Citizen of the World. 0:18:54 -- Curiosity, Openness, and Being an Outlier. 0:23:51 -- On Pandemic Skepticism. 0:52:12 -- The Onset of the Mandates. 1:02:35 -- Dysfunction & Corruption in SAG-AFTRA? 1:27:58 -- On the Future of Show Business. ------------------------------------------------------- SUBSCRIBE TO THE STATE OF THE ARTS: cliftonduncan.substack.com BUY TWIN ENGINE COFFEE: https://twinenginecoffee.com/?aff=4 DONATE VIA VENMO: https://account.venmo.com/u/CliftonDuncanArt OR PAYPAL: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/CliftonDuncanArt OR CASHAPP: $CliftonDuncanArt
