A Self-Discovery Channel Gone WrongHer YouTube channel, she said, was launched in 2022 when she was just 22 years old. She said she felt confident about the topic despite her age.

In one video, she recalled speaking explicitly about bedroom matters and using a banana as a prop.

A Father's Shock and Ultimatum Things took a serious turn when the video was sent to her father by concerned Ugandans. 

“My father was devastated. He gave me two options: shut down the channel or face expulsion from the clan,” Karungi said.

The video raised so much concern that her father's friends even questioned his role as a parent. 

“They asked him if I was really his daughter, and he even considered denying me,” she added.

A Tough Decision to Close the Channel Faced with an impossible choice, Karungi was forced to shut down the channel. 

“My dad asked me where I had even gotten the experience to start teaching such things online. I was only 24 at the time, and it wasn’t worth losing my family over,” she said. 

Although she had started the channel with good intentions, the pressure ultimately led her to walk away from the online platform.
