I’ve been to Rwanda before. But I was never invited into a backyard. Now I know why.
Janet Nkubana, Rwanda’s master basket weaver, tells me the backyard is where the women of Rwanda gather. It’s where they talk. It’s where they share their secrets.
No men allowed.
As a journalist, it was my responsibility to convince Janet that it would be a good thing to reveal just a few secrets from the backyard.
