About Me
My journey in debate started with a simple question: "Why should I be quiet when I have something to say?" At The Voices Of Future Rwanda's Global Scholars Program, I discovered that my voice could change conversations, influence decisions, and inspire others.
From my first nervous speech to winning the East Africa Debate Championship, this program has transformed me from a hesitant speaker into a confident leader. The skills I've learned—critical thinking, structured argumentation, and persuasive communication—have helped me excel not just in competitions, but in my academic life and university applications.
I've been accepted to the Harvard Summer Program and am preparing to apply to top universities globally. The Voices Of Future Rwanda didn't just teach me to debate—it taught me to believe in my potential.
