Immaculée Ilibagiza Biography
Immaculée Ilibagiza is a Rwandan-American author and motivational speaker known for her story of survival, faith, and forgiveness. As a survivor of the Rwandan genocide, Ilibagiza found shelter in a pastor's home, where she and seven other women hid in a small bathroom for 91 days. During this time, her family, except for one brother, was killed.
While in hiding, Ilibagiza deepened her faith, taught herself English, and committed to a life focused on peace and forgiveness. After the genocide, she worked at the United Nations and later emigrated to the United States. Encouraged by colleagues and friends, she documented her experiences in her first book, "Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust." The book became a New York Times bestseller, has been translated into multiple languages, and has sold nearly two million copies. "Left to Tell" received a Christopher Award and was selected by Outreach Magazine as a top testimony and biography resource. The book has been included in the curriculum of several universities, including Villanova University, and her story was adapted into the documentary "The Diary of Immaculée."
Ilibagiza has authored additional books, including "Led by Faith: Rising from the Ashes of the Rwandan Genocide," "Our Lady of Kibeho," "If Only We Had Listened," "Visit from Heaven," "The Boy Who Met Jesus," and "The Rosary: The Prayer that Saved My Life." She has appeared on "60 Minutes," "The CBS Early Show," CNN, EWTN, CBS Evening News, and Aljazeera Network, and her work has been featured in The New York Times, USA Today, and Newsday. She was also featured in Michael Collopy's "Architects of Peace" project.
Ilibagiza has received several humanitarian awards, including The Mahatma Gandhi International Award for Reconciliation and Peace, the American Legacy's Women of Strength & Courage Award, and the National Speaker's Association's Master of Influence Award. She has received honorary doctoral degrees from institutions such as the University of Notre Dame, Saint John's University, Seton Hall University, Siena College, Walsh University, Duquesne University, and the Catholic University of America. Ilibagiza established the Left to Tell Charitable Fund, which supports Rwandan orphans. She is recognized as a leading speaker on peace, faith, and forgiveness, sharing her message with diverse audiences worldwide, including world leaders, students, corporations, and faith-based organizations.
