The journey of The Great Trek was an honour. We poured our hearts into this production for the 20th Kwita Izina ceremony.#KwitaIzina2025 #TheGreatTrek #Mashirika #VisitRwanda

Post 1/2 To carry a vision is one thing, but to find the right collaborators who can see it, feel it, and help bring it to life is a whole other blessing. I am deeply grateful to the incredibly gifted humans who poured their hearts into the recently concluded Kwita Izina 20th Celebrations: Matt Delay – the genius behind the iconic bamboo gorilla monument . Emmanuell – the brilliant head choreographer of The Great Trek theme performance. It was also a great honor to welcome Kand Kimie, the award-winning costume designer—visiting this time, but a cherished creative partner from Kwibuka 20. Your artistry, passion, and dedication made this milestone unforgettable. Here’s to creating even more magic together. Thank you @RDBrwanda for the opportunity . ❤️ ✨ #KwitaIzina20 #RwandaHeritage #TheGreatTrek #CreativeCollaboration
