Welcome to 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐎𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐞, a travel docu-series that takes you on a journey off the beaten path. We travel to different countries flying under the mainstream radar where millennials are on the cutting edge of emerging industries.   We meet these inspiring millennials who are Visionaries, Innovators, Disruptors and Tastemakers challenging the status quo, creating new opportunities and empowering their communities. Through this experience, we intimately explore the cultures, traditions and histories of their country. —— On this episode of 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐎𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐞, we travel to Rwanda. A country located in East Central Africa, where millennials are at the forefront of the country’s flourishing creative sector. We focus on the stories of two influential millennials: Matthew Rugamba who is shaping the fashion industry in the city and Harriet Ingabire who is developing the eco-tourism industry in the countryside. We learn more about how their inspiring journeys have been shaped by their Rwandan heritage. —— I’m your host Ife Bethel-Sears🙋🏾‍♀️ and I’m from The Bahamas🇧🇸 I created this travel docu-series called 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐎𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐞. It began as a passion project in 2018 that quickly morphed into my 1st independent production. I put my heart & soul into creating this project and I’m excited to share it with you! ——— Music Credit 🎶 Steve Millington, Harvio, Halcyon Lounge and Global Journey Photo Credit📸 Kwena Baloyi, Black Panther, Lupita Nyong’o, Junior Nyong’o, Ellen Degeneres/AP, Matthew Rugamba, The Kigali Genocide Memorial, Jean-Marc Boujou, Pulitzer Center, Harriet Ingabire, Red Rocks Rwanda Creator/Producer/Host 💁🏾‍♀️ Ife Bethel-Sears @ifebethelsears Production in Rwanda🇷🇼🎥 64 + Waves @64waves Olivier Habiyaremye @ruleexe Fabrice Twahirwa Andrew Wani Samuel Mod @wanilokulang Clement Mugisha @clemento7 Post Production in The Bahamas🇧🇸🎞 Jiggy Productions @jiggy.productions Kyle Ferguson @kyle.jiggyproductions Craig Walkine @cjwalkine
