Happy Women’s Month!
I got to share my experience of owning a business in Rwanda with @Essence for their story on Black American Women Building Businesses in Africa!
Owning a business is never easy but there is no place I would rather do it than Rwanda!

Happy Liberation Day Rwanda!
Thank you to all who played a role in liberating Rwanda and everyone who helped bring about the peace and unity we enjoy today.

Aujourd’hui, nous célébrons la journée de la libération. Une date gravée dans notre mémoire collective. Merci aux héros qui ont ramené la paix, l’unité et l’espoir. #Kwibohora32
I am so happy @CityofKigali is a walkable city. These petrol price increases are really going to get us in shape.

I am so excited for what you are building in Rwanda for the continent and world @iamgaidi and aoa.school team!!!! 🧮
Dr Gaidi Faraj: "Rwanda’s supportive environment played a crucial role in the academy’s rapid development....stability, openness to African diaspora professionals, and ease of establishing institutions allowed the school to launch in just one year." aoa.school/
“Our mission here is really about scaling impact. Research shows that students who participate in math Olympiads often go on to achieve extraordinary things. We want our students to be AI creators and developers so that Africa is not dependent on technologies built elsewhere.”

I love this series! Thank you @Judicaelle_
It's day 7 of sharing African women who shaped the political and social fabric of our continent yet you may or may not know them.
Today I am talking about Rebecca Allen Namugenze Mukasa, also known as Rebecca Mulira, was a Ugandan women's rights advocate and social activist. But mostly she was a panafrican and one of the pioneers of the Panafrican organization of African women in Addis Ababa in 1962 alongside Aoua Keita I talked on Day 3
Those who knew Rebecca described her as relentless. Again it takes relentlessness to be a woman in politics alongside your husband in the 50s and 60s while consistently asserting your own voice and individuality not as a wife of but as an activist yourself.
Rebecca's legacy in Uganda is known in different women organizations she worked with, women councils she chaired and the social activism she carried within the government.
And yet so little is also known about her. As we know women are not written properly in history, let alone African women

If there is a sport any sport and they do a large scale championship match, race or series… it will come to Rwanda.
Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but it will. Oh and if it is annual expect it will come and return.
THE HANDBALL CUP OF NATIONS IS HERE!!
When back streets for the back streets have traffic…. #Kigali we were so spoiled for years. Now we know what the T word is.
Okay, Lagos, LA, Nairobi I know we are dramatic but for us this is dramatic. You know we are suburban kids.

“Even in difficult times, don’t waste that time, learn from it. There are lots of lessons in difficult times. There should be lessons in good times too, meaning just don’t pass the day, and the year like that. Take something from it and associate it with a purpose, meaning a purpose of your life.” President Kagame | ASG Matriculation Ceremony.
