Josette Komezusenge is a Rwandan beauty entrepreneur. She is born to the late Callixte Kayihura and Alexia Muhundwangeyo, both killed in the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi along with 10 of her siblings. At the age of 15 she went to Belgium to begin her secondary education at College St Andre de Tournai. “After completing my studies, I worked for the Belgian Government, but I wasn’t satisfied with my work and decided to be my own boss. With my humble savings, I opened up a salon and sold fashion accessories for women. Again, I wasn’t totally satisfied with my work because I dealt in products that changed skin complexion and hair colour, yet I wanted people to look more natural,” she says.Now, Josette owns 6 beauty salons, under the brand Maza Salon, the most famous in the country with a workforce of 30 women.Credithttps://www.gianmarcomaraviglia.com/rwanda-women
