Global luxury tequila brand Don Julio has partnered with socialite and media personality Sheilah Gashumba to celebrate her 30th birthday in an exclusive event dubbed Sheilah @30.
The invite-only celebration is scheduled for Sunday, February 15, at the rooftop of Mediterraneo Restaurant in Kololo, one of Kampala’s premium nightlife and dining spots.
Popularly known as “Lil Stunner” among her peers, Gashumba has grown up in the public eye, transitioning from a teenage television personality into a lifestyle and digital influencer with a brand anchored in style, cultural relevance and bold reinvention.
Over the years, she has navigated both success and public scrutiny, building a presence across television, radio, digital platforms and lifestyle culture.
Her influence resonates strongly with a generation grappling with ambition, visibility and reinvention in real time.
Come Sunday, Gashumba is expected to toast the beginning of what she has described as her “tricenarian era,” celebrating the milestone with close friends and family in what organisers describe as a grand yet intimate gathering.
The guest list is expected to feature some of Uganda’s top socialites and celebrities. The party’s soundscape will be headlined by South Africa’s Don Julio influencer DJ NEL, known for Amapiano, EDM and pop sets.
The DJ lineup will also include Selector Jay, Edwizzy, DJ Spinny and DJ Dash, promising an energetic mix for the rooftop celebration.
Judie Nandekya, Senior Brand Manager for Tequila and Rum East Africa, described the birthday as a milestone worthy of celebration.
“Don Julio is known for being the perfect tequila brand for momentous occasions. Sheilah turning 30 is a milestone worth celebrating, the Don Julio way.
She has scaled hills and valleys, and grown into an industry leader in her own right. Don Julio 1942, the pinnacle of luxury, will ensure Sheilah’s celebration is befitting of the occasion,” Nandekya said.
The Sheilah @30 celebration will be strictly by invitation, underscoring its positioning as a curated luxury experience rather than a public party.
