Media personality and Head of Broadcast at Nation Media Group–Uganda, Flavia Tumusiime, has withdrawn from the forthcoming Dominate 2026 women’s conference following days of heated public debate. The event, slated for 28 March 2026 at Kololo Independence Grounds, had been promoted as a gathering intended to inspire women to “dominate in life while remaining submissive within marriage.” The theme ignited fierce discussion online, with critics describing it as regressive and at odds with modern feminist ideals. On social media, some questioned why Tumusiime, widely respected for her professional accomplishments, would associate herself with messaging they viewed as limiting. One commenter argued she would be better placed speaking on leadership, workplace politics and professional excellence rather than submission.
