Rwanda Civil War Survivor and Author Clementine Bihiga will be our featured guest speaker on December 8th. Her energy and humor is very contagious, along with her personality, no one would ever know she has had such a trying life.
At the age of eight, Clementine and her family were forced to flee their home in Rwanda due to the Genocide and Civil war of 1994 which killed almost a million people in 3 months. Clementine and her family lived as refugees in multiple refugee camps and settlements before they were admitted to the USA in 1999 as refugees. Clementine who faced many life and death situations at a young age including living in refugee camps and waking up among the dead, being bullied as a high school student and losing a daughter, has turned her tragic past into a positive calling of inspiring others to never give up.
Clementine is a motivational public speaker, certified coach, trainer, and an award-winning author of “Happily Broken: Discovering Happiness Through Pain and Suffering. She has appeared in business magazines with leaders like Mark Cuban and Jeff Bezos. Her motivational story, presence on stage and addictive personality has allowed her to share the stage with Aisha Tyler from “The Talk”, Kim Kardashian, Cheryl Crow and other celebrities.
Clementine will share her personal story and how you can find resilience, perseverance, and success midst the storms.
