Immaculee is a native of Rwanda and was a college student at the National University of Rwanda in 1994 when her life trasformed dramatically during the Rwanda genocide. She and seven other women huddled silently together in a cramped bathroom of a local pastor’s house for 91 days! During this horrific ordeal Immaculee lost most of her family but survived to share her story and her miraculous transition into forgiveness and a profound relationship with God.
She is the author of the New York Times bestseller Left to Tell and the follow up story Led by Faith. She has appeared on 60 Minutes and has been featured on CNN, EWTN, Aljazeera, and many other domestic and international networks. Immaculee was also recently featured in Michael Collopy’s Architects of Peace, a project which includes Mother Teresa, Jimmy Carter, Nelson Mandela, and the Dalai Lama.
