“You have everything that you need to get to the next level. All you have to do is look inward. Because all you have to succeed is in your DNA, if you CHOOSE to work!”  These are the words our youth are hearing at Giants Of Africa (GOA) basketball camps, one of the best initiatives […]

Meet Richard, a mobile money agent, near my home, a consistent source of inspiration.  He puts to shame those of us with no disability but are full of excuses as to why we can’t work/get a job done/be good and useful community members.  He’s a SUPERB example of heart and work ethic, one I strive […]

My family and I went to vote this morning.  My brother Brek in high spirits kicked us off with this on the way saying, A family that votes together progresses together..

23 years of consistent infrastructure development is another reason to vote for progress with RPF Inkotanyi led by President Kagame.   If you appreciate economic development you know we can’t succeed without good infrastructure.  In the last 7 years, I’ve witnessed consistent infrastructure development, and the results are here for all to see.  Electricity access […]

Few years back I wrote about a dream to pay digitally in one of Kigali’s most popular markets, Kimironko.  Fast forward to last month when I got this picture, taken in Kimironko market – I broke down and cried, this time tears of joy because I’m seeing a dream come to life.  And then, landing […]

To our the men and women in uniform who gave everything including their lives to liberate our Rwanda, we thank you.   I fondly remember and celebrate my uncles and cousins who left their families, jobs and school to go to the frontline.  Some never said goodbye in hopes they’d come back to us, or […]

Last night I had the pleasure of being among a group of food lovers invited to the official opening of Cucina at the Marriott in Kigali.  It was an experience for the books.   Cucina has pulled all the stops and it is complete with a Chef straight from Italy, Chef Luca Voncini.  Chef Luca […]

When it comes to our choice for President on August 4th, there’s only one choice:  Truthful NOT neutral.  This is my 7th year of living in Rwanda and I’ve had a front row seat at many milestones.   I look forward to sharing my truth and why there’s only one choice, for me at least […]
