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.

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!

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.

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!

Early this week, social media was on fire. Everyone was talking about Super League, UCL, UEFA champions league, Perez etc. It was so polarising that even those who do not watch football wanted to be part of the conversation. We then though, that since we are many not to speak the football language, we would get someone who can try and explain in simple and accessible terms why everyone seemed excited. Henry Muhire Brulart is a former sports presenter. He explained the business side of football and tried the best he could to breakdown the mystery about Super League. His opinion might not represent that of the majority, and a few teams in the Super League saga might have switched camps since then. Thank you for listening. Meet here next week.

Marcel Mutsindashyaka is a survivor indeed! He chose to live and do it well, to the best of his ability. He was very young in the Genocide Against the Tutsi. The time his brain was able to make clear connections and understand complex concepts, he simply couldn't think of something else. As he grew up, he realised that he was so affected and needed help. Likely, he got the help he needed and spoke to professionals. Years later, he founded umuseke.rw. He later continued his studies in the USA and currently lives and works there. On this episode, we talked about his journey of resilience and leading a worthy life. He also shared his journey as a parent and how to tell the genocide bitter story to children. Thank you for listening. Meet here again next week.

This week, Rwanda and friends of Rwanda are commemorating for the 27th time, the Genocide against the Tutsi. A lot has happened in 27 years. Genocide survivors have shown an extreme level of resilience, Rwanda has been rebuilding one step at a time. But the fact is wounds are still raw and the healing journey is a long one. 6 in the Eve caught up with Ngabo Brave Olivier. He is currently the Programs' Manager at Ibuka and the Director of Kicukiro Memorial Centre. Brave used to be a dancer when he was younger. Many of us show his extraordinary performances. When speaking with 6 in the Eve, Brave said that he started dancing as a way to remember his dad who was killed during the Genocide against the Tutsi. Dancing helped him with his healing journey. Brave later built a career in Marketing and sales. He now uses his knowledge to build projects that bring income to genocide survivors. He believes that this is probably the reason he is alive today. Listen to Ngabo's story and share your story of resilience. Thank you for listening. See you here next week.

In one of our previous episodes, we talked to Boris who mentioned a few facts about mental health and how we should be talking about these issues more in our society. We spoke to a professional in mental health to give us a number of important details on depression. Josiane Umukundwa tells us how the depression starts, possible causes, symptoms to look out for and what to do once they are there. The reason why people hide their mental status is stigmatisation. Those who attempt crying for help are sometimes bullied, called names. Their feelings are dismissed or silenced. We could all strive to normalise mental health conversations for the betterment of our society in general. If you, your friend, or a member of your family have any symptoms of depression, Josiane says it is possible to get help. Thank you for listening. Meet you here next week.

This is the last episode of the month of March. This month, we listened to ladies sharing amazing ideas and telling the stories of their contribution to the community. They shared their expertise and challenges. This time, we will speak with Ariane. A sports presenter and commentator. Ariane Uwamahoro, also known as Ariana Mami is an energetic storyteller, with an infectious laugh. When she was young, her dad wanted her to be a scientist. Deep inside she knew that she will never be an accomplished scientist. A small voice always directed her towards journalism. When she was done with Biology and chemistry in high school, she decided that it was time to give journalism a try. In this episode. she tells us how she couldn't be admitted to the national university but had to be more creative to reach her goal. When she started her career as a journalist, she was a radio presenter, but she always made sure to add some sports stories. One day, the sports presenter took ill. Ariane was invited to sit in for him and since then, the rest is history. In this episode, Ariane tells the story of her journey, what it took to convince the manager to trust her, and some of the sexist barriers that women face in this field of work. The journey was not smooth, in fact, the first football match she commented on was such a terrible experience that she is so glad she was stopped after the first half. Listen to Ariane's inspiring story and share it with friends. Meet you here next week.

This is the second part of the conversation that Eliane Umuhire had with 6 in the Eve. In this episode, Eliane tells us how she decided to quit her job and took up acting full time. She had no special support and had no savings. She just knew that somehow, it would work. Eliane didn't want to spend her life doing something she didn't like while failing to give acting a chance. That decision was a risky one and she also advises anyone who might want to take drastic decisions to follow their passion. It did pay off. She has won awards. She saw places she has always dreamt to see. Eliane told us how she couldn't believe it the time she was called to Hollywood and was given a lead role. An unbelievable experience, she says. The movie will be released this March. We will keep you posted. Thank you for listening. Meet you here next week.

Eliane Umuhire is an award-winning Rwandan actress. When she was 11, she was given a role to play in class. That time, she felt an emotion that she didn't know before. She had no idea what it meant but it is as if she was no longer herself and could have the feelings of her character. She later understood that the feeling is normal for actors and that this could be a real profession. Growing up, Eliane would look for places where she could jumpstart her career. She discovered the theater scene in Rwanda but figured it might not be able to pay her (At least at that time). Eliane did accounting in high school and University. Although she confesses she attended very few classes at the University. At that time, she was more preoccupied with acting! When she finished school, she took her acting to the next level. The number of plays was increasing. They did many tours in Europe but still, the pay wasn't enough to sustain her. To survive, she looked for jobs to top up. One day, she decided that she was going to quit and focus on acting. This was going to be her career, she was going to try her best and make it work. She decided she was going to be an actress, and do it full time. Listen to Eliane shares her journey, the career she has always wanted, the painful path. Eliane has just returned from Hollywood. She acted in a movie that will be released in a few months.

Aurore Irangeneye is a research and gender specialist. She is married and is a mum to a handsome boy. It took Aurore years before she could finally become a mum. It is a journey that took so much work and mixed emotions. She had to go through societal trauma, incessant questioning comments that sound like insults, many medical visits. Aurore says that this journey made her relationship with her partner better which is not always the case. On this show, Aurore shared her journey with us. She has accepted to speak up because she knows that many women go through the same problem and suffer in silence. Infertility issues touch more people than we can ever imagine. The biggest trouble is our inability to talk about it which reinforces the secretive concept. As a society, we should definitely be doing better. Better at understanding, better at respecting people's privacy, better with kindness, and overall respect to other humans. A special thought goes to all couples, especially women who are going through the same thing. Aurore is available to talk if you wish to! Thank you for listening. Meet here next week.

Urbain Gilles Sugira, is a young man who simply loves writing words that sound absolutely beautiful. He is a music enthusiast and a poet. He writes and talks about love mainly. In the Rwandan culture, poetry occupied an important place. It might not feel the same way today but there is actually a growing community of poets and spoken word artists and enthusiasts amongst young people. Urbain discovered his passion for poetry when he was still in high school. It was after an assignment that his English teacher had given them. The biggest challenge at that time however was to get to the right audience to help him practice. He was in boys-only school, and he felt like his schoolmates were the worst audience to help him grow his passion. In this episode, UrbaIn tells the journey of his passion, poetry. He told us how he made it against all odds, how he found his tribe (other poets). Check out Urbain's Instagram page for more of his content. He also wrote a poetry book that you can find on Amazon. Thank you for listening! Stay tuned for our next episode.

A year ago, the trailer of 6 in the Eve was shared on social media. It was exciting to see how the audience received it. In one year, 6 in the Eve has gone through a number of changes and it took many shapes. 6 in the Eve main reason of being, though, never changed. That is creating conversations that are important to our society. Currently, it is a radio show and a podcast that is aired once a week. A month ago, Mpinga (Marino) asked Ginty is she could interview her when 6 in the Eve turns one! What an amazing idea this was. Mpinga is a very curious soul and she had all her questions well drafted. She wanted to know how it feels to have a project turn 1 year, she wanted to know what inspired 6 in the Eve and the choice of guests, how people can support it and future projects. Obviously, this was a long conversation, so this is only part one. Stay tuned for the rest of the show. Stay safe, speak to you next week.

This is the second part of the conversation that Ginty had with Malik. In this episode, Malik shared his journey and his professional growth. He says it is fine to be confused and not having a clear picture of who you want to be or what you want to do. The most important thing is to learn through your journey and maybe, one day, you will figure it out. Thank you for listening!

Kagire Edmund He says that the biggest problem with cancer is getting a late or wrong diagnosis. He also mentioned the financial hardships attached the getting proper treatment. In fact, he says the government of Rwanda paid his medical bills, but the whole treatment is too expensive that they couldn't have afforded had they not had the courage to ask for help. This conversation is not only about cancer. Kagire tells us how he started in his journalism career, how he is dealing with these difficult times as someone with an underline condition and so much more.

The 4th of February is Word Cancer day, and this episode is entirely dedicated to that. Some years back, Kagire's body started sending him signs that something might be very wrong. After going through a number of Medical tests, it was confirmed that he had liver cancer. In this episode, Kagire tells us how it all started, the process, the diagnosis, the struggle and how he finally made it to India for treatment.

Malik Shaffy Lizinde is a serial entrepreneur. He is always coming up with new projects and business ideas. His first business was a black market trade of CDs at school. On this episode, Malik reflects on his journey. He is now a project manager and developer. When he was younger, he thought he would be a musician. He even produced a song that was never aired on any station. He then thought he would be a photographer, then he thought he could be a music producer, and he actually made a few attempts. Watch this song that he did for DJ Miller (May his soul rest in eternal peace). He says that his starting point was Nyamirambo. This neighborhood shaped him and helped him understand who he was and who he wanted to be in the future. His vision and direction are clearer now, but it took an interesting journey and a whole lot of other things to figure it out. Enjoy the show and meet you here next week.

Cece has always been a storyteller. When he spends time with people, he finds himself having stories to tell. He immediately gets along , and they certainly start laughing. Cedric Rudasingwa considers himself an upcoming comedian. He is highly inspired by his own life. The stories he tells are mainly things happening around him and are very relatable. A Norwegian comedian noticed his talent and asked him to join him during his stand up comedy. It worked well for Cedric and he really loved it. But there was one problem. He felt like he never was able to say everything he wanted to say. Some words were missing. Because in his mind, those funny Kinywarwanda words couldn't be translated, and if they were, they didn't sound funny. He later decided to start creating his pieces in Kinywarwanda and share the pieces on social media and with his network. Check out Cece YouTube channel here. If you like his stories, show some love. Thank you for listening, Speak next week.

Borys S.Mugisha is a social media enthusiast, an art critic, and an artist in his own capacity. Borys is also a strong advocate for mental health.

More importantly, Borys shares his experience on mental health and says he wishes to put up a mental health hospital in Rwanda. At the end of it all, this conversation took a whole different direction. Ginty and Borys ended up talking about religion, faith, and how some of these imported beliefs have affected African people. Thank you for listening. Meet here next week.

Dominique Alonga has always been a very curious person. Even as a small child, she would open things up, put them back together, and break a few more. She grew up loving books, but she initially wanted to be a doctor until they brought a piglet (to dissect) during one of her advanced biology class. She then understood that she will never belong in the medical field. She used to write stories in high school and her colleagues loved them, but it was a hobby. Now, Dominique's full-time job revolves around writing and publishing books.

Last week, Esther, Sarah, and Peace shared their story with 6 in the Eve. We wanted to know how Sarah and Peace managed the fame of their big sister Esther, who was the first woman to ever fly a plane in Rwanda. On this episode, they talk about the love, the support, the fights and everything that comes with that. When they were younger, Sarah and Esther were the ones fighting, all the time. Now, Esther is more of a referee when Sarah and Peace are at it. The sisters picked up running during this time of COVID, so that they get to spend time together but also get healthier. In terms of hobbies, Esther is also a good cook. Her sisters call her a pilot-recipe developer. Peace is the assistant chef, while Sarah is excellent at tasting the food. Enjoy the show, and see you next week. Do not forget to follow 6 in the Eve on social media to participate in #OffersAt6 Contest. This week, you will be winning coffee, breakfast, and Burger vouchers, courtesy of Café Camellia.

Esther, Sarah, and Peace are sisters. Most of us got to know Esther because she is the first female pilot in Rwanda. Before a few other girls joined her in the profession, she was the only one doing all the TV and Radio interviews. Both locally and internationally. At some point, we could even see her on billboards. She was featured in a project by NiNyampinga, a media brand that inspires young girls in Rwanda to explore their full potential. When you have a sibling that has achieved something great or has been first in a highly regarded field, the whole world wants to look at you with the same lenses. They want to know if you are walking your sister or your brother's path. This creates a feeling of leaving under the shadow of another person, may as well dim your light since you are hardly noticed. But having a person like that is the family can also build you. Likely, this is the story of the three sisters. Sarah and Peace are career women too, never wanted or dreamed to become pilots. Sarah works with entrepreneurs, while Peace published books for children. They both have strong personalities and learned to live and celebrate their sister's fame. Although to be quite honest, the little one, Peace is the most famous, because at some point she attended the Miss Rwanda (Nyampinga) contest. Sarah jokes a lot about her status of the ''less known, but well known in the kingdom of God''. They shared their stories and thoughts with us. The love, the fights, and everything in between. This is the first part of the show. Watch this space for the second part next week.

Moses Turahirwa runs one of the most successful fashion business in Rwanda. He never dreamt that his career was with the fashion industry. In fact, he would have laughed at your face if you said that. He wasn't born in the city or exposed to fashion trends. He just had the talent. But talent needs to be nurtured. Tune in today and listen to his journey. While sharing his journey, Moses mentioned some of the horrific things that people tell you when you tell them you have chosen an artistic career. He almost gave up. He says he is now confident that Moshions would still function even without him. How many businesses would survive without their owners' daily supervision? In this episode, you will also get to know how you can participate in #OffersAt6, an online contest by 6 in the Eve. This week, you can play and win 2 nights stay at Five Volcanoes Boutique Hotel, a luxury hotel in Musanze. The contest will continue during the whole month of December with various prizes.

Nirere Shanel is a songwriter, a singer, an actress, and a woman with amazing energy. In 1998, she walked over to the national broadcaster and asked if a cameraman could come over and take a video of her singing. I don't know what you think but that level of confidence is not very common. That was her very first music video. In this episode, Shanel tells the story of her debut, the good, the bad, and the ugly. She talks about her career as an actress and her transition from Rwanda to France. At the end, she also shares her opinion on the current music industry. What works and what doesn't! Thank you very much for listening. Meet here again next week.

How do radio stations make money? A question asked to every single person who works with a Radio station. There is a whole business ecosystem in Media but few people really know how it works...If you listen to the show, you will learn a thing or two from one of our own who understands this industry. That is Lee Ndayisaba. Lee started off his career as a radio presenter. Being a big dreamer, he later continued his adventure in Tanzania where we work with the leading media house in that country. By the way, when he left Rwanda, he bought a one-way ticket. He was determined to make it or to make it! Speaking of setting crazy goals. In this episode, Lee shares his experience working with the media in East Africa and a dept analysis of Rwanda's media landscape. Lee produced the very first East Africa Got Talent. He talked about the contest and the way forward. In other news, 6 in the Eve will run a #VisitRwanda contest in December. The contest will be on Twitter and Instagram.

Keza spoke to Ginty for a long time. Every aspect of the conversation was so worth it that they decided to put this conversation in two part. You can find Part one here. In this particular episode, Keza talks about her healing journey, how it changed her and made her a whole different person with different perspectives. She also talks about her love life and the things she now considers important. Keza is now a content creator, she says gives constructive criticism on various issues in comic ways. You can check out her her Instagram page for more.

Keza is a woman, a mum, a wife, a former flight attendant, a content creator, and a cancer survivor. In fact, she says she beat cancer a**! Keza is such a storyteller (Check out her Instagram). That is the exact reason why her conversation with Ginty has two parts. This is the first part of the conversation with Keza on 6 in the Eve. She tells the story of her 'debut' as a radio presenter in Rwanda. At that time, working as a radio host was not an easy task. The money was little, the pay not consistent, but Sistah Kaz enjoyed her work all the same, and it did open more doors for her. Since she was 10, Keza wanted to be a flight attendant. A few years later she started working with Rwandair! It looks like dreams do come true indeed. In this episode, she shares with us her cancer journey, the healing process, and the most important things she learned. *As a bonus, Keza tells us how she found love after her divorce and so much more. We hope you enjoy this conversation, watch this space for part two. See you next week.

A conversation with Eric Ngangare (1Key). 1Key shared his journey as an artist, who is trying to survive and thrive doing what he loves. Music. His passion though is currently not giving him the income he needs to make ends meet. So, he does what most adults do. Get into a different profession. He works in advertising, but his heart is not there. His dream is way bigger. He wants to make money, buy an island, and build an art school on it. Well...Kristine K. Stevens said, If Your Dream Doesn't Scare You, It Isn't Big Enough! How big is your dream? How passionate are you about it? What are you doing about it? Since dreaming is free and we have complete control over our ability to do so, why is it that we limit ourselves? This and more on this episode.

There is an old saying in French: 'Qui ne dit mot consent', meaning that silence is consent. But is it really? Ginty and Mpinga (Marino) decided to have this conversation when one of Marino's friends asked a group of women she was interacting with if they would ever refuse to have sex with their husbands, in case they don't want to. In the begging, Ginty couldn't really understand what Mpinga was talking about, because in her mind people should be able to say no when they don't feel comfortable about certain things. Well... the truth is, that is a very naive way of looking at things. More often than not, women are told that they actually CANNOT say no! This is the general discussion during many bridal showers. But when you do not have the ability to say no, can we assume that you have said yes? There will be a time that you will let things happen because you want them to, there will also be a time you will let them happen because you have no choice. You have no right to say no. No right to explain yourself. That is marital rape, and it is actually recognized as a crime in Rwanda. But do people know? Do they report? Are they given justice? Do women or men ever go report such abuses? Listen and tell us what you think.

This is the second part of the conversation that Ginty had with Pam. You can listen to part one here They are talking about Social media, the impact it has on us, and how we relate to each other in that virtual world. What happens when someone is saying/using words that do not work for you, things that are controversial, things that might affect you as a person or as a society, or things that might work against you? Are we able to control how people express themselves? How do you make peace with things you cannot control or should you try to put up a fight? One important aspect of this show is the discussion on how toxic social media can be. In other news, Ginty and Pam briefly talked about issues that affect young girls such as teen pregnancy, rape, and how the words used to express these situations are often misleading. Thank you for listening and let us meet here again next week.

This is a conversation with Pam Wa Mudakikwa. Pam is an ordinary woman doing extraordinary things with an interesting point of view on many aspects of life. When Ginty booked an appointment with her to have a chat about life in general, Pam said yes, knowing that she might be going to the hospital at any time during the interview. She was waiting for her baby boy. (Congratulations Pam). While growing up, we all went through phases of questioning and trying to understand what exactly we wanted to do or be. Pam says, 'you don't have to do one thing'. She had a strong take about our ability to properly use the 'Kinyarwanda' language and this show was quite a good exercise for Ginty. Ginty and Pam spent some time discussing beliefs and traditions in Rwandan settings. Sometime back, a video circulated on social media, and all hell broke loose. Disagreements were all over the timeline. A lady was clearly stating that she is not a virgin and that in fact, she casually carries condoms! We do not really know the origin or disagreements on those facts, or why we as a society are so uncomfortable with these subjects, but Pam did say something about it. Send us your thoughts and thank you for listening.

Here is the 6 in the eve radio promo for the month of October. Some of the sound bites in the promo are part of the shows that you will be listening to very soon!

This is a conversation about Rwanda's local tourism. In this episode, Ginty speaks to Seth Butera, an expert in regional tourism, and specializing in digital tools for the tourism industry (e-tourism). Seth helped us understand Rwanda as a destination and unpacked the services that are available and truly designed for the locals. Covid-19 has made governments and tour companies re-evaluate their tourism strategy and approach. All over Africa, we have seen the new strategies putting the locals at the center. Is this likely to continue even after the world would have gone back to normal? Can the tourism industry survive and thrive if it centered on foreigners only? That and more in this episode.

In this episode, Ginty had a conversation with Karen Bugingo. Karen is a cancer survivor, a businesswoman, and a published author. . Ginty and Karen talked about life, her cancer journey, the healing journey, the serial entrepreneur she is and so much more.

Our guest today is Caroline Othim. Caroline is a woman, a mother, a feminist, an activist, and is the Global Campaigns and Policy Coordinator – Africa for GATJ, which stands for Global Alliance for Tax Justice. This episode is part of the 6 in the Eve podcasts, ''The South Explained'', a podcast that focuses on issues from the Global south and tries to unpack them for everyone to understand. We turn technical discussions into casual conversations. This particular conversation is part of the series named: Women's realities. We talked about the whole tax justice movement but with women's rights lenses. You will hear: 1. What tax Justice means. 2. The link between tax justice and human rights 3. Tax justice and financing of women rights 4. Why it is Important to unpack these themes for the general audience 5. COVID-19 and tax justice 6. The demands to policymakers 7. How we should all participate and contribute. Thank you for listening. Cynthia Ginty Umurungi.

A conversation with Marino. A former radio presenter in Rwanda. She was there right at the beginning of private radio stations in Rwanda. This episode is about life in general, and it is a conversation they should have more than ten years ago, but... life is full of surprises. Plus, the content then, would obviously have been very very different! Ginty and Marino talked about career paths, parenting, and freedom and they laughed a lot (which they often do).

This episode is an intimate conversation about infertility and the pressure that comes with it. Leila, our guest on the show, has a condition called PCOS (Polycystic ovary syndrome), which can cause infertility. In most cases, society will blame/judge a woman when she cannot conceive. For a long period of time, they won't even remember that her partner could be the one with a medical condition. Due to stigma, social norms, and accessibility of medical care/services, cases of infertility are diagnosed late or not at all. Leave a comment on www.6inthe.com,

This is the second part of the conversation that we had with Claver Irakoze. When Claver's daughter was five, she asked him what the word 'Genocide' meant.
