I AM DONE I wonder if everything I went through was worth it. Not every story has a happy ending, some just END. Maybe it's time to focus on something more important, sinzi! Gusa thanks very much to everyone who has been there with me. Ndabakunda.

I love curating sounds & experiences, building community, and shaping culture in the process. This year has already blessed me with so many opportunities to do so, and this week is no exception! Check out this thread to see where you can find me doing my thing this week. 🧵

Artists, not everyone that is rolling with you and figuring the settings out with you, is for you. Learn the essentials of being involved not just the studio. Read more. Be present. To fail is beautiful. It's the only way. You have no other choice but to learn and grow.

My name is Naike. I am 15 years old. I have written this poem to tell my story, and that of so many others, the second generation of genocide survivors. I tell my story to inform you, to tell the world that we survived the unthinkable, to teach and remind you of the consequences of the Genocide against the Tutsi, and its horror. I tell my story with the hope that this will never happen again. Dear survivors, Dear parents, Dear Rwandans, If there’s one thing you can keep from my message, it’s that my generation and I, we have learnt, and we are proud of who we are: Rwandans, who will always hold your hand. We will strive for the everlasting peace, prosperity, and hope of life in Rwanda. We will always remember what happened during the Genocide against the Tutsi. We’re going to write. We’re going to remember. We’re going to make changes. Humura, Rwanda rwacu. Ntabwo bizongera. Tuzibuka kandi tuzakubaka. #Kwibuka31
