About the Author
Michel Hakizimana is an entrepreneur, professional truck driver, and aspiring institution builder based in Dayton, Ohio. Born in 1988 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, he was forced to flee because of war and insecurity. He spent more than thirty years living as a refugee before being resettled in the United States and later becoming a United States citizen.
After completing secondary school, Michel continued learning through work and experience. His trucking career taught him discipline, safety, responsibility, and the importance of reliable systems. In 2022, he founded M&M Income Tax Service and established M&M Transportation as a foundation for a future transportation business.
Michel is also the founder of the ZAYQUM GROUP vision.
