Caleb has written and produced features for BBC, Aljazeera, Deutsche Welle. He is a 2019 Media Challenge Fellow; a One World Media Fellow; and a LEDE Fellow with the Solutions Journalism Network (SJN). During his SJN LEDE Fellowship, Caleb will build Minority Africa — a digital publication providing solutions content on African minority communities and persons, using a multimedia approach that is data-driven, immersive (360 videos, virtual reality) and highly interactive. The publication is designed as a response to the underreported nature of interventions by African minorities in mainstream media. It will combine reporting with community engagement through Immerse events, a screening of Minority Africa’s features across African cities and communities, and will also provide a learning lab containing short courses by experts on solutions journalism from a minority perspective. Caleb is the Managing Editor at Minority Africa.

Caleb’s works have been translated into Spanish and German and his first novel, a collection of memoirs was published by Bahati Books UK in 2016. Caleb is pursuing his Bachelor of Journalism and Mass Communication at Cavendish University in Uganda.
