Africa-Press – Rwanda. Former Rwandan tennis number one Joseline Umulisa on Saturday night, May 17, departed for the United States to attend the 46th Sports Emmy Awards, in which she has been nominated.
The Sports Emmy Awards, encompassing 47 categories of nominees, are presented by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) in recognition of excellence in American sports television programming, including sports-related series, live coverage of sporting events, and best sports announcers.
The awards will be held live and in-person on Tuesday, May 20, at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Frederick P. Rose Hall in New York City.
Umulisa is vying for a recognition at the awards thanks to her story, ‘Tennis can be My Medicine,’ was nominated for ‘Outstanding Long Feature’ category.
In 2024, Umulisa, the co-founder of the Tennis Rwanda Children’s Foundation, made history as the first Rwandan to become a member of the International Tennis Club of the United States of America (USIC), mainly courtesy of her dedication to improving the lives of Rwandan children through tennis and education via her development initiative dubbed ‘Tennis Rwanda Children’s Foundation (TRCF)’.
