      <image:title>About - My Story</image:title>
      <image:caption>I was born and raised in Rwanda, aka the Land of Thousand Hills. I was lucky to survive the 1994 genocide against the Tutsis that shook my whole country and claimed close to one million lives. My husband, my parents, four of my siblings and my extended family, many friends, coworkers and neighbors were murdered in cold blood. No goodbyes, no funerals. The community as I knew it was gone. In 1996, I immigrate to the United States as a refugee. I learned English, went to school for a different career while heading a household of five. Now than I am a grandmother, I find myself reminiscent of my own childhood, my life as a whole; places I lived, people I met, challenges overcame, lessons learned, and all the memories made.  Especially I think about my family and their untold stories. I believe it is time to share them. Go here for Christina - Long</image:caption>

      <image:title>About</image:title>
      <image:caption>Fast forward to 2016, I remarried and moved to live in a new city (real City this time). I was able to take some time off from my career to recharge and get familiar with my new life and new home. Then 2020 and the Covid19. I found myself solving a different problem. Will I call it a third career? Or simply a continuity of my life of service and impacting community. In any case Mukesha.co is now part of my unfolding story.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Christina story -Long version - My Story</image:title>
      <image:caption>I was born and raised in Rwanda, aka the Land of Thousand Hills. I was lucky to survive the 1994 genocide against the Tutsis that shook my whole country and claimed close to one million lives. My husband, my parents, four of my siblings and my extended family, many friends, coworkers and neighbors were murdered in cold blood. No goodbyes, no funerals. The community as I knew it was gone. In 1996, I immigrate to the United States as a refugee. I learned English, went to school for a different career while heading a household of five. Now than I am a grandmother, I find myself reminiscent of my own childhood, my life as a whole; places I lived, people I met, challenges overcame, lessons learned, and all the memories made.  Especially I think about my family and their untold stories. I believe it is time to share them.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I transferred my soft skills; the accuracy, attention to details, confidentiality, and all the compassion I have acquired trough caring for people to now caring for and about their finances. Though I fondly remember my nursing days, I found pleasure working with finances and contrary to the common belief, most accountants possess high ethics and offer useful and fundamental services (Hold your thoughts we will have a conversation about this in a different post). Fast forward to 2016, I remarried and moved to live in a new city (real City this time). I was able to take some time off from my career to recharge and get familiar with my new life and new home. Then 2020 and the Covid19. I found myself solving a different problem. Will I call it a third career? Or simply a continuity of my life of service and impacting community. In any case Mukesha.co is now part of my unfolding story.</image:caption>
