Since its Global inception in 2018, TikTok has taken the digital world by storm, feeding users a wide range of videos, from dance challenges and lip-syncs to educational content and viral trends. For newbies, however, particularly those in Rwanda, a quick recommendation of who to follow won’t harm.
To achieve this goal, we’ve solicited the help of Gaju Gatera alias @Techstalli, a Rwandan TikToker based mostly in Seattle. With 31.2k followers and 341.2k likes, Gaju recognised fellow countrymen whose content creation has shaped the country’s culture, music and fashion spheres.

“She’s not afraid to share a piece of her mind even if it’s not the most popular opinion,” echoed Gaju, adding how she finds that so refreshing. “I’m just kicking every time I see her videos about who did her dirty or when she’s talking shit about her friends, always curious about who she’s talking about.”
