Marie-Christine Williams Biography

Marie-Christine Williams, survivor, author, speaker, captivates audiences with her story of anguish, disappointment, tragedy, horror…and ultimately, triumph, hope, and the unrelentless power of the human spirit.

For just a moment imagine your worst nightmare. Now imagine living it over and over for 7 years. That was Williams’s life from the age of 7 until 14. Abandoned when she was only 3 months old, abused by her father from age 7 to 14, and then running from death squads for 100 days during the 1994 Rwandan Massacre, Williams endured everything imaginable…and things unimaginable.

The power of her story comes from the realization that she’s been there. Very few audience members can hear her story and quietly dismiss it as “but she doesn’t understand”. She’s gone through more than what most people can fathom, but her story is not one of tragedy it’s one of triumph, it’s not a story of being a victim, but one of victory.

Williams has been motivating and inspiring audiences since 2014 when she published her book The Dark Side Of Human Nature, and started traveling the country as a keynote speaker.

Marie-Christine Williams Speaking Topics

Motivational

Perfect for events with the goal of inspiring their audience with a story of overcoming unimaginable obstacles, finding meaning, and ultimately finding your purpose. The audience will leave with a sense of empowerment, hope, and knowing the past doesn’t control a person’s future.

At times it is easy to feel we are alone in our struggles, and find it hard to believe that someone can truly understand what we are going through. The power of Marie-Christine’s story is that she has been through more than most people can imagine and still triumphed. Listening to her story and how she overcame her struggles, captivates and inspires audiences to do the same in their own lives.

Diversity: The Importance of Diversity & Inclusion

Perfect for events that want to focus on the topic of diversity and inclusion. The audience will leave with knowing why it is important to understand and accept others, how the compassion of one person can change another person’s life, an example of the ultimate consequences of a divided society, and more.

The Rwandan Genocide is an example of the tragic end to a divided society. Friends and neighbors killing each other in the street. Listen to a person story of the tragedy, the lessons learned, and how Rwanda overcame its differences and became one of the most successful countries in Africa.

Overcoming Adversity: Finding Peace & Meaning Out Of Trauma

Perfect for audiences who have experienced trauma. The audience will leave with a sense of knowing they aren’t alone, knowing the healing power of accepting yourself and your past, and how to find hope in spite of a painful past.

Marie-Christine’s past is one of multiple traumas. Both from the extreme child abuse from the age of 7 to 14, and the horrors of the genocide while she ran for her life for 100 days. Her story gives hope to those who just need a little extra push, and to those who have trouble finding hope at all. She speaks from experience as someone who has been through the darkest of the dark and not only survived, but learned how to thrive.
