I have always known that I will be a Doctor_ Dr Maxime Umubonwa

Dr. Maxime Umubonwa was referred to as 'Muganga' since she was a teenager. Her grandmother was technically supposed to be her first patient. Since she always complained of something, Maxime felt like she wasn't being attended to properly, and she would always tell her will treat her when she becomes a doctor. Dr. Maxime is a woman who wears many hats. She believes that a person is more than what they do and that being a medical does not stop her from having opinions on other important aspects of the community and inspiring the generation behind her. Listen to De Maxime Umubona sharing her journey with us. Thank you for listening to 6 in the Eve.

A conversation on conservation

Dorine Intwarinkase Mutaganzwa is a conservation researcher. While some of us believe that she is a specialist already, on her side, she is still pushing it. With two masters in the same field, she is doing course after course. Away from studies though, Dorine loves talking about our environment and discussing good practices to conserve it. One other fun fact about Dorine is that she loves coffee and coffee shops. She is always looking for feel-good environments to work from. Recently, she came up with an idea! An eco-friendly packaging and business model to sell coffee. Café Dre is an awesome concept and we invite you all to check it out. This episode is a call for all of us to reflect on our environment and pledge to protect it. Thank you so much for your time. Meet you here again next week.

I want to sing for a living

When Sherry was 10, she had a very clear picture of what she wanted to do/be. A singer. It took what looked like an eternity for that dream to materialise. She gave up many times and picked herself up again, and continued. When she released Gerayo, she wanted to put her dream on hold as it was becoming hard to continue without help. In this episode, Sherry Uwase tells her story of perseverance. She talks about her early journey to motherhood, she shared the difficult times she went through while pursuing music and a separate professional career. As it is now, Sherry has been signed by an artist management firm in East Africa and will have all the support she needs to do music. Finally! 6 in the Eve says congratulations for Sherry. We can't wait to listen to all the bangers! Thank you for taking the time to listen. See you next week.

It was born ten years ago

Ten years ago, Ginty received 2 young people in the studio. They were part of a dance group called Sick City Entertainment. The reason they were invited on air was to talk about a new idea that they wanted to put in place. Our Past Initiative. The big idea was to create a platform for the young people in Rwanda to learn their history and story. The right medium to do that was art. Using art as a universal language, but also, as the language that young people understand beyond speeches. They created the right partnerships and started organising events that included dance, poem, acting, with messaging lessons of History and the Genocide against the Tutsi. They also would run projects to support the genocide survivors. In this episode, Ginty speaks to Christian, the leader of Our Past Initiative, and tells the story of their journey. 10 years later, Our Past initiative is a registered NGO that plans to do more and better. The power of having and idea and acting upon it! Thank you for listening. Meet you here next week!
