== Career ==
Kawamara gained popularity for becoming a female journalist from Uganda that defied all odds and covered the [[Rwandan genocide|Rwandan Genocide]] in 1994. This was her biggest story. Sheila was among a group of daring Ugandan journalist who headed into Rwanda to cover the genocide two days after then-President Juvenal Habyarimana’s plane was shot down. It was a bold move for a young woman and it turned out to be life changing. Her biggest story was titled “Thousands killed in church” and it shocked the world. Kawamara had been on that “beat” for nearly four years. Married to a Ugandan army officer, she learned on the night of October 1, 1990 that scores of soldiers of Rwandan descent had deserted the Ugandan army at once, with arms.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Schiffrin|first=Anya|last2=Lugalambi|first2=George|title=African Muckracking: Exposing Genocide|url=https://gijc2017.org/2017/11/17/african-muckracking-exposing-genocide/|access-date=2020-06-25|website=Global Investigative Journalism Conference 2017|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=MISHAMBI|first=SHEILA KAWAMARA|title=Horror of Rwanda killings still with me|url=https://observer.ug/special-editions/40516-horror-of-rwanda-killings-still-with-me|access-date=2020-06-25|website=The Observer - Uganda|language=en-gb}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=New book details decades of African investigative journalism|url=https://www.news24.com/news24/Africa/News/new-book-details-decades-of-african-investigative-journalism-20171114|access-date=2020-06-25|website=News24|language=en}}</ref> She was then working at [[New Vision (newspaper)|New Vision]], a local Daily.
