Back Home, and Playing for Rwanda
“I'm training and preparing to represent my country in Davis Cup next month, and I'm trying to spend more time with my family and friends.”
Junior Hakizumwami, Love All Scholar

Tuesdays with Junior | Ep 25 | June 23, 2026

When Junior Hakizumwami arrived at the Mouratoglou Academy in Biot, France on a Love All Scholarship from the Kodjoe Family Foundation, he was a teenager from Rwanda chasing a dream that few around him had a blueprint for. This week, that trajectory has expanded into something even larger. Junior is back home in Rwanda.

A Different Kind of Court

Junior is preparing to represent Rwanda in Davis Cup next month. “I’m training and preparing to represent my country in Davis Cup next month,” Junior said, “and I’m trying to spend more time with my family and friends.”

What the Foundation Built

The Kodjoe Family Foundation didn’t just fund a scholarship. They funded a career arc — and now, an athlete who will wear Rwanda’s colors in Davis Cup.

What Comes Next

Davis Cup is a month away. Be part of the movement.
