On this episode, I follow up with a very special Daughter of Change, Esi Chantal Umuraza. You may remember Chantal from our podcast in July of 2021 entitled “Daughter of Rwanda”. On that podcast, we discussed her journey from a young survivor of the Rwandan Genocide to a budding social entrepreneur.

Since we last spoke, Chantal’s dream of creating a retreat in her homeland to highlight the rich, cultural history of her country - while helping the people in her community - has become a reality.

Chantal is the proud founder of Ishobe Rwanda, a wellness retreat center that specializes in connecting people through traditions, cultural activities, arts, thematic events, and wellness.

We’ll be discussing how her concept became a reality, what she has learned, and how she is lifting up her local community.
