Tuesdays with Junior | Ep 4 | January 27, 2026
From France to Florida: The Big News
If you’ve been following Tuesdays with Junior, you know Junior Hakizumwami doesn’t just work hard. He dreams with precision. This week, that precision paid off: Junior has officially been accepted into Keiser University in Florida.
This is a pivotal chapter. Moving from the Mouratoglou Academy in France to a top-tier collegiate program in the US gives Junior the competitive environment he needs to launch a professional career: high-stakes tennis paired with high-quality education. It’s the exact kind of sovereign pipeline the Kodjoe Family Foundation was built to fund.
The Work Behind the News
In this episode you see both sides of Junior’s week: the intense court sessions, situational play, aggressive net-work, movement patterns being refined rep by rep, and the quieter moments with friends, celebrating the kind of milestone that reminds you why the grind exists. A team dinner after a long week isn’t just a meal. It’s proof that community is part of the curriculum.
But big news comes with bigger costs. Transitioning to the US collegiate system means new equipment needs, travel, and logistical support. The Love All Scholarship was designed for exactly this: to keep the opportunity open at every stage of the journey, not just the first step.
Junior is building a legacy for African tennis. The next chapter is closer than ever. Follow along every Tuesday and help keep him on the court.
