That’s me, though I’m not convinced that I have a Ph.D in me. Mbabazi (baBABz) is my Ugandan name, which means “gracious one.” My friend Darius gave me the name about two weeks ago, and now that the class knows that name too, some of them are starting to call me Mbabazi (but not Darius, interestingly enough). Now I just have to associate it with me.

I’m Jessica Hughes, an Anglican priest serving at Uganda Christian University through the Society of Anglican Missionaries and Senders (SAMS). “Here I am” is both an answer to the geographical question “WHERE are you?” and a nod to my favorite Bible verse, Isaiah 6:8.
