We recently met with our partners at USIU-Africa for a co-creation session to design an engaging learning experience for the Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program team. Together, we're building stronger support systems through shared learning and partnership.

A big thank you to Psychologist Nyagah Mugo from @SolidMindsRw for joining today's episode of #WellnessAndRelationships on #KigaliInTheMorning. The discussion explored how identity is formed during adolescence, why ages 13–25 are crucial for personal development, and the role parents play in guiding young people without limiting their growth. Nyagah also highlighted how a strong identity builds confidence, shapes careers, strengthens relationships, and helps young people make purposeful life decisions.

Your identity isn't just who you are, it’s the lens through which you make every major life decision. #RoyalFM

A strong home is built on a shared vision and intentional leadership. When guidance and direction are absent, confusion and disarray can easily take root. True leadership is not about control, it's about showing up, taking responsibility, and stepping into your rightful place to protect, guide, and build together. @solidmindsrw #KigaliInTheMorning #WellnessAndRelationships

We appreciate Psychologist Ronald William Alosa from @solidmindsrw for once again joining another insightful episode of #WellnessAndRelationships on #KigaliInTheMorning. The discussion explored men’s mental health, burnout, career pressure, financial expectations, fatherhood, relationships, and self-worth beyond income. Alosa emphasized the importance of emotional expression, strong values, supportive relationships, and healthy work-life balance, encouraging men to prioritize their wellbeing and seek support when facing stress and life’s growing demands. #RoyalFM

Taking care of your mental health is an important part of being able to care for those who depend on you. To all fathers, thank you for your presence, your efforts, and your commitment. May you continue to thrive, find support when you need it, and never lack.

While these roles are important, fathers are people too. They have emotions, challenges, fears, and needs that deserve attention and care. This Father's Day, may we encourage fathers everywhere to extend the same compassion they give to others to themselves.

Today, we celebrate fathers, father figures, and the men who show up every day with love, sacrifice, and dedication. Being a father often means carrying responsibilities, solving problems, providing support, and putting others first.

A huge thank you to Psychologist Ronald William Alosa from @solidmindsrw for joining us on #WellnessAndRelationships on #KigaliInTheMorning. Alosa shed light on the often-overlooked psychological challenges men face as they navigate fatherhood, highlighting the emotional pressures, expectations, and responsibilities that come with parenting without a clear roadmap. His insights sparked an important conversation about mental well-being, resilience, and the support fathers need to thrive. #RoyalFM

Dear Men, You show up for everyone around you. It’s time to show up for yourself, too. You answer every call. You hold things together when they are falling apart. You are the steady one, the strong one, the one everyone leans on when things get difficult. And you do it well. But somewhere along the way, you slowly move yourself to the bottom of the list, maybe even off it entirely. Yet you need the same energy you pour into everything and everyone you care about. You deserve that same commitment. Prioritizing your mental health is not selfish. It is not weakness. And it is not stepping away from your responsibilities. It is what allows you to stay. It allows you to keep showing up, more present, more grounded, more whole. The people around you don’t just need your presence. They need you. Not the version that keeps going, but the one that is also thriving. So this June, as we are in Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month, allow yourself to give a little of what you give to others back to yourself. Start small. Speak to someone you trust. Take a moment to check in with yourself the way you check in on everyone else. Pay attention to what you have been ignoring. You have always known how to show up. Now it is time to show up for the most important person in your life, YOU.

Honored to host Psychologist Ronald William Alosa from @SolidMindsRw once again on another episode of #WellnessAndRelationships on #KigaliInTheMorning. The discussion focused on men’s mental health, highlighting the hidden struggles many men silently face, including depression, financial pressure, emotional suppression, and social media comparisons. The conversation stressed the importance of safe spaces, therapy, emotional expression, supportive communities, and seeking professional help. Listeners were encouraged to normalize vulnerability, check on one another, and prioritize mental wellness within families and society. #RoyalFM

Appreciation post to Dr. Mihigo Emmanuel from @SolidMindsRw for coming again to another episode of #WellnessAndRelationships on #KigaliInTheMorning. The discussion focused on parenting styles and the role of communication in shaping children’s behavior, emotional well-being, and moral values. Dr. Emmanuel highlighted the impact of authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, and uninvolved parenting, emphasizing that healthy communication, guidance, and positive role modeling are essential in raising responsible, resilient, and emotionally balanced children for a better society.

As argued by several psychologists, the demandingness (control/rules) and responsiveness (warmth/support) in parenting matters. I learnt that the best possible style of parenting as recommended by Mr Mihigo from @SolidMindsRw is Authoritative Parenting. It is true that in this style of parenting where parents set clear rules and expectations, by explaining reasons, listening to the child, and showing warmth, in the end; children are encouraged to be independent, to reason, and to regulate their emotions when demands are not respected by the parent. If one was to relate by lived experiences growing up; the tangible and evident outcomes show that children tend to be confident, socially skilled, academically successful, and emotionally stable if listened to and advised accordingly. I interacted with a certain parent who eventually told me that the best way to train a child is by empowering them to handle situational challenges whenever faced. Even if one was to be strict on a child, it is important to recognise their feedback or responses, advise and come up with the suitable and commendable solution that works for both of you. Remember that you will not always be with the child, hence empower them as much as possible to overcome the life's hurdles when encountered. #WellnessAndRelationships

“How do I disconnect from work when I am out of the office?” A question many of us wrestle with, but the answer is rarely a quick-fix formula. During one of our wellness workshops, a clinician responded with a surprising answer: “Come see me at the clinic.” Why? Because your inner world is unique, and your mental well-being deserves support shaped around your story, not a generic template. The moment you ask yourself, “How do I take better care of myself?” the journey has already begun. Read our latest article, Come to the Clinic, and discover why personalized guidance is one of the most honest and caring forms of support we can offer ourselves. Help is always within reach. #MentalHealth #Wellbeing #SelfAwareness #EmployeeWellness
