Hello!
I’m Xavier Maurice Gonda Cooper, a Liberian kid born in the USA.
At 11 years old, I’m the youngest DJ in Rwanda. I’m also the Brand Ambassador of Zora-Bots Africa. In 2020, I was the 1st place winner of AfriCAN Code Challenge for Rwanda’s Africa Code Week.
On March 4, 2023, I was a member of my primary school’s robotics team which won 1st Place for Engineering Excellence & 1st Runner Up for the First LEGO League National Championship in Rwanda.
I want to spread fun all around the world. I love science, music, and art.
By the way, Gonda means “warrior” in Vai, a language spoken in Liberia and Sierra Leone.
Now you know all about The Gonda Group!
SCIENCE
SCIENCE HAS MANY FORMS
Science could be in the form of an acorn or a big oak, a bumblebee bat (smallest animal in the world) or a blue whale. And, yes, even YOU are a form of science! The thing is, science makes up all of us.
And if we learn about science, we can learn amazing things, like a potato battery or a homemade volcano.
I would make a science joke...nah, all the good ones argon!
MUSIC
MUSIC IS POWERFUL
Music can be many things. Country, tech, pop, rock...so, so many things. And if you don’t like the music, you can just sample it and make it your own song. Sampling is magical.
It’s how you can turn Michelle - The Beatles into Navajo - Masego into Champagne Poetry - Drake! Trust me, this content is gonna B major!
ART
ART IS MAGICAL
From Jean-Michel Basquiat to Zohra Opoku, art is in the air. No matter what it is, it’s art.
It can be an Ed Sherran song or a painting by Leonardo da Vinci, it’s art. Besides, the earth without art is just...eh.
