Tuesdays with Junior | Monthly Recap | January 2026
Junior Hakizumwami started this year the way most big stories start: nervous, excited, and a very long way from home.
On January 6, he posted his first Tuesdays with Junior update from the Mouratoglou Tennis Academy in Biot, France, the place he now trains as the Kodjoe Family Foundation’s original Love All Scholarship recipient. He’d left Kigali with a dream that already felt big. Within his first few weeks at the Academy, that dream got bigger.
“I remember when I was young I dreamt of becoming number one in Randa. But here at the Mouratoglou Tennis Academy, my dream now went bigger.”

That’s not a line written for him. That’s Junior, describing what it actually feels like to go from a court in Kigali to one of the most competitive training environments in the world.
The first month was about the basics of a completely new life: a new coaching system, a new rhythm between school and training, teammates from countries he’d never visited. By January 27, the story took its first real turn forward: Junior learned that after his time at Mouratoglou, his next step would be Keiser University in Florida, a signal that this scholarship was never just about one Academy. It’s a full pipeline, and Rwanda to France was only step one.
This is what Pillar 1, Academic Equity, looks like in practice. Not a slogan. A kid getting the training, the schooling, and the runway to go as far as his game can take him.
