Mothers.. they carry us, cheer us on and never let us quit. Happy Mother’s Day to all amazing mothers, those to be and those whose memories remain with us. #HappyMothersDay

One year ago today, I proved that belief, discipline, and consistency can take you further than fear ever will. From learning golf in 2023 to becoming a Guinness World Record holder in 2025, every step reminded me this: dream boldly and start anyway. For every woman and girl out there, if I did you can also do. Now go out there and be great. One year in, and we’re just getting started. ⛳️ #GWR2025 #GolfLife #VisitRwanda #RWOX

@tinytweetsplus I appreciate you. The only way is forward 🙏✊

You are a star Mel! Keep the spirit.

On 8 May, I mark one year since earning the Guinness World Record for the Fastest Unassisted Round of Golf by a Woman, achieved in Rwanda at Kigali Golf Resort & Villas. It is a moment of great pride to have achieved this in my home country. Your Excellency @PaulKagame , I remain deeply grateful for this milestone, which reflects not only personal discipline and vision, but also the environment that continues to enable Rwandans, especially women, to pursue excellence at the highest level. I have not yet had the honour of meeting you in person. However it would be a profound privilege to one day have the opportunity to personally present my Guinness World Record achievement to you, as a reflection of what Rwandan women and girls can accomplish. Thank you for your leadership and continued inspiration in shaping a nation that dares to dream and achieve. #RWOX #WomenEmpowerment #Golf #GuinnessWorldRecord

They said, “Do a Q&A.” I said, “Bet—but make it golf.” ⛳ Mixing focus, fun, and a little pressure. Real answers, real swings, no filter. #GWR2025 #GolfLife #VisitRwanda #RWOX
