Details | In 1994, more than 1 million people were killed in the Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, leaving only a few thousand Tutsi survivors. In August 2024, these survivors and their families will gather together with scholars, artists, and activists at the Voices of Resilience conference in Houston, Texas to connect, heal, and equip attendees with strength and resilience that will be passed on through generations. Atrocities like the Genocide against the Tutsi have taken countless human lives and devastated nations and communities throughout history. But when the violence ends, those who survive are left with trauma and fear so deep that it can be passed down through generations. Today, there are hundreds of thousands of people who have survived atrocities but are living with dark shadows of fear and pain. At Voices of Resilience, we will bring light into the shadows by sharing truth and experiencing healing together. We will harness the resilience that survivors of genocide have cultivated in their lives to move forward with understanding and renewed strength that will be passed down through generations.
