19:94 is a new short film by @douxfree that follows the journey of Keza, a young woman who has spent sixteen years wearing her father’s coat and tie. Every year, she returns to the very place where his story ended, hoping she might see him once more.
While it is a story of deep grief, it is even more a story of vision and hope. It is about the choice to leave the darkness behind, to step into the light, and the courage to Remember while Rebuilding.

My team and I had the opportunity to be part of a powerful and successful story for @the_roots_network It was truly humbling to hear how people are laying down their lives for the Gospel in different places.
Moments like these remind us why we do what we do. As a team, our heart is to tell stories that carry impact, stories that matter, stories that point beyond us.
Grateful for the trust, the experience, and the stories we were allowed to witness.

When simplicity becomes art.”
This maternity shoot reminded me of a time when African women expressed beauty with confidence and elegance, no excess, just natural grace. The afro wasn’t just hair; it was a statement of identity, strength, and pride.
The white dress adds purity and timelessness, while the minimal background gives all the attention to what truly matters, her smile, her presence, her story.
African fashion has always been about creativity and meaning. Every look, every detail speaks of heritage and artistry that never fades. This shoot is my way of celebrating that, natural beauty, cultural pride, and the art of being authentic.

Still in Zambia and loving every bit of it!
The people here are so warm and welcoming, always smiling. I’ve been exploring some beautiful places like Chongwe, where I’m working on a project before heading back to Rwanda.
Traveling really opens your eyes. You meet amazing people, try new food, learn about different cultures, and every moment becomes a story.
Can’t wait to share more of what I’ve seen and experienced here!
Our company created a short documentary on something truly powerful.
the story of how coffee transformed lives in Dukundekawa.
People built new houses.
Some bought cows, goats, pigs.
Others paid school fees all the way to university.
One family’s journey became a book.
Some even traveled the world,
all because of coffee.
This film captures real stories, real faces, and real change.
It’s more than coffee. It’s what coffee made possible.

This is a man whose life is rooted deep in the hills of Musasa. just like the coffee he has grown for decades.
He started with nothing but his hands and hope. The early days were hard. He worked on the coffee farms long before the world began to recognize the value hidden in Rwanda’s soil. But he stayed. Season after season. Harvest after harvest.
Today, he owns a motorbike, not just for transport, but as a symbol of independence. He sent his child to school, and not just any school all the way to university.
That’s what coffee did for him.
Not just beans. Not just income.
Coffee gave him a future, and the ability to change his family’s story.
As I took this portrait, I wasn’t just documenting a man. I was witnessing the quiet strength of someone who turned labor into legacy.
The people of Dukundekawa inspired me deeply during this assignment. I came to take pictures. I left with perspective.

He showed up with his milk can, calm and steady, just like the hills behind him.
I was taking portraits at Dukundekawa Musasa,
a cooperative that’s doing more than business; it’s changing lives in this village.
As I spent time there, hearing the stories of the people, watching how the community works together, I felt something shift in me. It wasn’t just about capturing a good shot anymore. it was about honoring their spirit.
This is one of my favorite portraits from that day. It reminds me that real strength doesn’t always shout. Sometimes, it just shows up early with milk.
Happy Labor Day to all the workers who quietly build the future. You inspire more than you know.

Climbing Into the New Year: Our Karisimbi Story
To wrap up 2024, we decided to take on the ultimate challenge climbing Mount Karisimbi, the tallest point in Rwanda. Sounds crazy, right? Well, that’s the kind of energy we wanted to carry into 2025.
With the RDF squad and some dope tour guides by our side, we hit the trail ready for whatever came our way.
The views? Insane.
The laughs? Non-stop.
And the journey? Absolutely unforgettable.
Did we make it to the top? Nah.
But guess what? We didn’t fail either. We pushed ourselves, created memories that will last forever, and proved that it’s not always about reaching the summit, it’s about the climb and everything it teaches you.
The mountain’s still there, and so are we. Maybe next time, Karisimbi. Until then, here’s to chasing dreams, embracing challenges, and soaking up every step of the journey.
Would you ever try something like this?
