Remba, was sparked from three things that have been apart of me from a young age:

1) Women

I have traveled to and from Africa for the last 8 consecutive years now, previously working with two organizations on the ground and in the states, AIDS Orphans and Street Children & Invisible Children.

I've always done short term work concerning children with HIV/AIDS and child soldiers but knew my involvement would be extensive somehow another level in development. It has now turned into using my talents for skill training and business development.

2) I've always had a heart and calling to address and fight the bondage, suffering and oppression that exist in many forms for women and young girls, whether here in the states or around the world.

3) I've been in love with the art of hair design. I'd sit for days at a time watching my Papa do hair for this clients. I loved when I had the privilege to do hair for friends and family, and the affect it had on them as they glowed at their reflection in the mirror. I graduated high school early and went into college, trying to figure out what I wanted to do. It wasn't long before I took a break to attend Paul Mitchell the School. My experience there changed my life and developed my talent. I truly come alive when I have the canvas of an individual's hair in my hands and having a positive affect on their lives from the outside in.

I was inspired what I found the ground for business development in Rwanda and Africa in general; the evergrowing, lucrative industry of beauty.

Remba is more than idea but an initiative that has slowly been unfolding the last two years, both on the ground in Rwanda, here in America and soon to be the Philippines.
