Abstract
This article, published on September 6, 2019, profiles Annie Uwase, Rwanda's first female tour guide driver, who faced immense skepticism and family conflict due to negative perceptions linking women in tourism to immorality. She inspires youth to overcome limiting mindsets via talks through the Mastercard Foundation Hanga Ahazaza initiative. This initiative supports young women's employability to shift the sector's negative gender narrative.
