Being Rwanda’s sole agony aunt for adolescent girls is a role Flavia Mutamutega cherishes. She talks to Veronique Mistiaen about how life prepared her for it, the questions she gets asked and her belief in young people.
Flavia Mutamutega is Baza Shangazi, literally ‘ask auntie’ in Kinyarwanda, the national language. She works as part of Ni Nyampinga, a hugely popular multi-media youth platform launched by international non-profit Girl Effect in 2011, made up of a magazine, radio show, a network of ambassadors and clubs, and digital platforms.
