I had a heartwarming reunion with Dr. Tony Mudakikwa at the #ICCB23 , one of the first African wildlife vets in Rwanda and my mentor! I write about him in my memoir in Chapter 5 and other chapters. He has been a great pillar of support in my conservation journey with gorillas 🦍.

In my early teen years, I decided to become a vet because I loved animals and always wanted to take care of them. I am thankful for people like my mother @rhodankalema for encouraging me to pursue my dreams of becoming a veterinarian.
