AS a young learner I finished college and started working in media business in 2011 at radio10 as a DJ and a radio presenter and music programmer. I started an entertainment radio show (the RED zone show) I had an idea to start that because I loved the media business and one day I was with my friend and we were thinking how we could start something that would make the youth come together.
That’s how I started looking to options I had and I saw I could really have an impact on our generation basically cause I knew what the loved, what they would love to be doing and Personally, I wanted to get involved with the entertainment business and it was a pleasure to see the youth working radio presenters, concert organizers and fashion designers already.
And I started doing proposals to different radios and I had Radio10 that were very interested and saw the vision I had and we started immediately, not too long ago it was paying back we had our first sponsors .
We kept going the show improving and we were pleased that our simple ideas became reality and becoming something big .we started organizing different events that we know youth would love to participate and it was successful.
After that encouraging start I wanted to continue my studies and signed up into mass media and communication classes in Mount Kenya to get more knowledge about the business and have some tips to make me even more successful in the business media.
That opened my mind on making something more bigger I had an idea of opening my own Music TV station that idea came up when I was working with radio10 I saw the process of making a TV studio, TV programs, I couldn’t do it alone I had to find partners that have the same mentality and willing to work hard for the dreams to come true.
Rwanda’s Development Board also established the Entrepreneurship Development, which is a strategy to increase business start-ups in Rwanda. With their five-year plan, they seek to provide existing and potential entrepreneurs with the right skills and knowledge to become competitive locally and regionally.
With that kind of help I personally look up to some of my mentors and they successful stories that continue to inspire me to this very day that I’ll start my own TV station end of this year. My message to all the dreamers and doers out there is to Persist and believe in yourself and work hard.
