Meet the Nominee: Charles Shima

Founder of Tourifique | Travel-Tech Innovator | Cultural Storyteller

Born in the Democratic Republic of Congo and raised in Rwanda, Charles Shima's life was shaped by hardship and displacement. But from adversity, he rose to become a visionary leader—building bridges between cultures through innovation, technology, and storytelling.

Now based in Canada, Charles leads at the intersection of travel, digital inclusion, and cultural identity. His company, Tourifique, connects global African diaspora travelers with authentic, local, and culturally immersive experiences—empowering communities and spotlighting underrepresented creators around the world.
