Hi, I'm Jade Natacha IRIZA

I write, I speak, I overthink (professionally).

About

JadeSaid is my corner of the internet where I put into words the politics, the tender bits of being a girl who loves too loudly, the quiet pride of being African-Rwandan, and the messy in-between of public service and personal dreams.
