"“If you told me today to start a fashion line, I don’t know if I would be as brave because the older you grow, the more you calculate what could go wrong or right.”"

"I strongly believe that Rwanda has a very rich culture with an artistic side to it, and I am determined to put the country on the world fashion map."

"The purpose of denial is to destroy truth and memory. The denial of the genocide against the Tutsi causes the gravest offence to survivors."

"Let us condemn all the deniers of the Genocide against the Tutsi so we give dignity to the deceased and respect the survivors."

"Join me, as I stand here today and pray for every Rwandan, who is healing from a life left by the Genocide’s ‘visible and invisible’ scars."

"The most important thing is truth, dignity, and that enduring Rwandan spirit – the spirit that must never die."

"What you see today is me, dressed in a cloak of healing, which is often forgiving and will be in production forever."

"May we all hear the voices of children, who are learning to be expressive under the best of circumstances, and are often completely absent when they, as I was, have been traumatized."

"there is still a gender gap in the industry, in different movie production departments like female producers, female camera operators, movie directors, and scriptwriters but she says that they are most likely to fit in acting and it's a good sign of the growth of the industry."

"During the lockdown, I tested my entire crew for Covid-19 and we were confined together in a rented a house, where we also did shooting for the film so as to avoid possibilities of contracting the virus. This obviously, was costly on my end you of I had to cater for many people and ensure that we work in a secure environment."

"The industry is growing, and many are making a living out it. I am a scriptwriter and producer of my movie dubbed 'Inzozi (Dreams)’, if the movie industry was not a ready investment sector, I would have invested in other creative industries ."

"the industry is a safe investment due to the availability of market and local televisions which are supporting their movies, even though the journey is still too long."

"This year, there is another film called ‘Selfish’ that I will release. There are several messages on this one. There are different messages that I cannot disseminate through Inzozi because it already has its own primary story. I will do like five seasons of Inzozi, end it, and then do other films of not more than two seasons each. I envision showcasing all lifestyles in my films"

"This proves that what we act reflects the life that people are experiencing. There are even instances where you act something and people experience it after, and base on a character in the film to react appropriately. Films are significant in society because our stories encourage and advise people."

"My role in Inzozi is that of a miserable woman because her husband is burden to her. I have had instances where women looked for me just to tell me that they were about to file for divorce but because they saw the results of my patience in the film they chose to be patient too."

"Also, it was clear that it is a profession that I will benefit from soon or later, and at the same time support the Rwandan society."

"“I used to like sports a lot - that's what made me actually join cricket,” she reminisces. “I was going to the new school where I was doing these technical courses, and those courses don't have many girls – there were 35 students and we were only three girls. That school didn't have enough girls to play the school games, so they would tell the new girls to join the game. Each time they would find new students, they would tell the new girls to join. I was the only one who went in my class.”"

""We are well prepared and we put in work during the lockdown – we never stopped training. Every player worked on their fitness and skills through that period. This is why we can't wait for this tournament to start. With this readiness, we promise a good performance and we'll not disappoint our fans and the nation."

"We are so happy to be part of this tournament after it was cancelled last year due to COVID-19. Our team is ready and we are in good spirits"

"After that the tournament, I realised my potential and decided to the take the game more seriously. By then, cricket in Rwanda was still at a low level and we performed poorly but I was very happy to represent my country,"

"I first got to witness cricket with my eyes in 2008 and I immediately picked interest. There was no women’s team then, so I started training with the boys, which I believe help me adapt quickly,"

"To me, cricket means more than just a sport, it’s also my source of hope. I was in despair, with no clear purpose of life before joining this beautiful sport,"

"At first I didn’t like fielding because I was afraid of the ball hitting me but with time, I over came my fears and I can now field, bat and ball because it’s required as a team player."

"Because of the love I gradually attained for cricket, I learnt the rules of the game pretty fast and I was able to play for the U19 National Team in Kenya in 2008. I was also able to play in 2010 and 2011 in Tanzania and I learnt a lot and gained more skills in all these region tournaments,"

"I am extremely happy to achieve this. It was a long journey, but finally all has ended well"

"I asked myself, why I couldn’t try. Then, I decided that I can push beyond the 24 hours and add two more hours"

"We won’t underestimate anyone. We are going to take every game as it comes and we hope to win the tournament."

"We are not doing well in batting as you may have seen it during these series. The games we lost can solely be attributed to poor batting. I think these series are here to show what to improve and we really have a room for improvement in batting."

"We had one common mission which was to win the tournament. We worked as a team, game by game, as the coach told us and here are the results."

"We are very happy to bring the trophy to our country, the competition was not easy but we put together and listened to the coach's advice and managed to win. As you can see on our faces, the competition was well prepared, we left Rwanda with one goal to win.(Turishimye cyane kuba tuzanye igikombe mu gihugu cyacu, irushanwa ntabwo ryari ryoroshye ariko twashyize hamwe twumva inama z’umutoza tubasha gutsinda.Ni ko kanyamuneza mubona ku maso yacu, irushanwa ryari riteguye neza, twavuye mu Rwanda dufite intego imwe yo gutsinda)"

"When we got to the field like that, you don't say much to the players except to remind each one of his role on the team, that's why we participated in this tournament that all we want is to win, all we need is to participate in the World Cup. In the next game Eswatini team this victory is a great motivation to prepare for the next meeting.(Iyo twageze mu kibuga burya nta byinshi ubwira abakinnyi usibye buri wese kumwibutsa inshingano ze ku ikipe ni cyatumye twitabira iri rushanwa ko icyo dushaka ari ugutsinda, icyo dukeneye ni ukwitabira igikombe cy’isi.Mu mukino ukurikira ikipe ya Eswatini uku gutsinda akaba ari Motivation ikomeye yo kwitegura iyo tuzahura ubutaha)"
