"I chose to practice sports Journalism because I felt I could."

"Being born near the stadium was one of the factors that made me fall in love with sports"

"I believe in dreaming big no matter what comes your way. That was inspired by Andrew Kabura of SuperSport"

"I find myself reflecting on the resilience of women and the incredible power we hold to heal."

"I have walked the long and painful road of trauma, grief, and healing. I have also witnessed, time and time again, the strength of women; the way we rise, even when the weight of the world is on our shoulders."

"In a country that has endured the worst of humanity, it was women who stood at the forefront of healing, We carried not only our own pain but also the burdens of our families and communities."

"Women have the power to heal a nation, We are tender, we are listening, and we understand pain in ways that make us natural caregivers.."

"We dreamt of a place where people could find mental health support free from stigma and judgment. At the time, we only knew that Rwanda needed a safe space for mental health, but we did not realize just how deep that need ran."

"My message today is simple: Let’s help each other. Let’s seek help when we need it. Let’s be strong -not by pretending we have it all together, but by allowing ourselves to heal and by supporting one another."

"On this International Women’s Day, I celebrate every woman who has found the courage to heal. I celebrate the women who stand beside others, offering a listening ear and a helping hand."

"Healing is not a privilege; it is a right. And when women heal, families heal. Communities heal. Nations heal."

"To every woman reading this: Your well-being matters. Your healing is powerful. Your resilience is shaping a better world. Do not give up!"
