Tuesdays with Junior | Ep 22 | June 2, 2026

From the Academy to the City of Light

This week, Junior Hakizumwami stepped away from training at the Mouratoglou Academy and made his way to Paris. Not just to visit. To witness.

“I went to Paris, I watched a bit of Roland-Garros and visited the city,” Junior shared in this week’s update. “It was a really good experience.”

Roland-Garros. The French Open. One of the most iconic stages in world tennis, set on the red clay courts of Paris every spring. This week, a young Love All Scholar from Rwanda walked through those gates and took it all in.

That’s not a small thing.

What a Scholarship Actually Builds

The Love All Scholarship doesn’t just place Junior at a world-class training facility. It places him in a world he can now navigate with confidence. Paris. The tournament circuit. The culture of international tennis at its highest level.

“We had fun with my friends,” he said.

Friends. Experiences. Exposure. These are part of the curriculum the Kodjoe Family Foundation invests in, because academic equity isn’t only about classrooms. It’s about expanding what young people believe is possible for them. Building the infrastructure for a life well lived.

Back to the Books

The Paris trip was short by design. Junior came back with exams ahead.

“I had to come back to get ready for the exam next week,” he explained. “I’m getting ready.”

That pivot from Roland-Garros to revision notes is the whole blueprint in a single week. Experience the world at its highest level. Come home and do the work. No gap between the two. Just a scholar doing both.

Junior is building something that extends well beyond tennis. It’s a life that integrates excellence in sport, scholarship, and self-determination. And every Tuesday, he shows us exactly what that looks like.

Be part of the movement.
