Meet Immaculée...
Immaculée Ilibagiza survived the 1994 Rwandan genocide by hiding in a 3x4-foot. bathroom for 91 days with seven other women. Immaculée endured fear, starvation, anger, and despair for months, all while her family, community, and nearly one million of her tribe were slaughtered. Remarkably, her tragedy transformed Immaculée into a strong woman dedicated to peace and reconciliation. Immaculée now travels the world sharing her story and healing the hearts of those struggling with fear, doubt, and hate. Her autobiography, Left to Tell, has sold more than two million copies and is in the process of becoming a major motion picture.
