Deep and meaningful conversation is at the core of what Barbara Umuhoza believes can connect and heal others. This vision drove her as a pastor and has been continued with her as the business owner of Eclat Communications.

With her pastoral background, integrity is essential to how she runs this firm, which is dedicated to helping with their marketing and promotional strategy. She’s particularly dedicated to helping her country become a regional conference hub for east Africa. Her company has a wide spread of services, such as translation, content production, and social media usage.

Umuhoza describes hos she’s keen to the change in her country, with more women attending university and pursuing a business career. While some old attitudes remain, she’s hopeful for a wider cultural shift and encouraged by the president and first lady of Rwanda’s support for women. She’s seen the change in her own family — her husband was supportive of a time she walked away from a job, while her father was more skeptical.

Umuhoza also offers a perspective on the Rwanda genocide. With this retelling, she frames the context for younger generations, which she hopes will sustain the vision for the Rwanda they wish to build.
