The worst of the coronavirus pandemic could be behind us but for John Bunyeshuri, a Public Relations practitioner and founder of the Kigali Fashion Week, the events of 2020 were a rollercoaster. Caught up in Japan, he escaped to London, where it got worse and later to New York where reality hit.

Just after the conclusion of the 2019 Kigali Fashion Week in Rwanda, he travelled to Japan as part of the Kigali International Fashion Show Tour. β€œIt was successful, and the team stayed on in the hope of doing more networking, and further working on the prospective deals we had cited,” said Bunyeshuri.
