LOVE ALL SCHOLARTuesdays with Junior
A weekly check-in with Junior Hakizumwami, following his Love All Scholarship journey from Kigali to the Mouratoglou Academy, one Tuesday at a time.
Junior's Story
Junior started playing tennis at seven years old in Kigali, Rwanda. His ceiling was becoming the best player in the country. Not because he aimed low, but because that's what the ceiling looked like from where he stood.
Then Boris Kodjoe told him the ceiling was a lie. The Kodjoe Family Foundation's LOVE ALL Scholarship sent Junior to the Mouratoglou Academy in Biot, France, the same academy that's trained some of the best players in the world. Every Tuesday since January 2026, he's checked in and told us what he sees.
