Kizito prides himself in being a storyteller with a dream of telling successful African stories to the world. After graduating from the Film & Television Production program at Toronto Film School, he attended the Independent Producers program at Centennial College. He learned the art of building bridges through cross-sector collaboration to create a world we wish to see – a more connected, self-sufficient, and just society.
Born in Rwanda, Kizito was 11 years old during the 1994 Genocide against Tutsi and having grown up with memories of 94, he later faced an impossible battle to overcome PTSD; a struggle which many in the Rwanda Canadian community continue to face today – especially those who were young at the time of the Genocide.
By taking a holistic approach to life, Kizito was able to overcome the worst of PTSD (severe depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts). He has since worked tirelessly to understand issues in his (African Canadian) community, partnering with youth and leaders and leading organisations to develop programs designed to solve these challenges collaboratively for current and future generations.
