Be Yourself. The World Worships the Original.
If you are Burundian and you like to party, then there is no doubt you know Dj Trick Triick. If you are not Burundian and you don’t like to party, well you should still know him. Trick Triick is one of the best deejays from Burundi. Based in Canada, he started his career in 2013. […]
Shiro is a Kenyan girl who I met at my university. For the longest time, I knew she was East African (we are a minority in our school) and I had had conversations with her but I never thought of her to be so talented. The first time I saw her perform, it was at an open […]
Diane and Nadia are not ordinary sisters. They are identical twins. Just in case you were starting to wonder, yes, they do fight and argue like normal siblings (I mean who doesn’t fight with their siblings). However, these two share something that not all the twins usually do (keep reading) Diane and Nadia were the […]
He goes by the name of Niragira. He is a well-known Burundian photographer/visual storyteller currently based in Rwanda. You probably have seen his Instagram page or his series of videos, 90sec Art in which he showcases African artists in a very creative way. But how much do we think we know the guy behind the camera?

Hosting the Burundian SnapChat account was a very cool experience for me. Before that, I had been following the account for only a few weeks and at first, I thought: huuum this is a fantastic concept. Of course, I was kind of lost; I had no idea what African Trip was. I finally got a friend […]
I have never been a math person and I will never be one. I just don’t get how it works. Yes I know 2+3=5 and that is because it is pretty basic but ask me how to derive or integrate an equation and it will take me as long as it takes a baby to […]
I met Melissa my first year of undergrad. We were in the same economics class and she heard me speaking on the phone in Kirundi and waited until the end of the lecture to talk to me. Now that I am thinking about it, I probably said something about her(without knowing she can understand Kirundi) […]
