Henriette Mutegwaraba

Born in Butare Province, Rwanda, Henriette Mutegwaraba lived through the harrowing days leading up to, and the inconceivable execution and aftermath of, the 1994 Genocide against the Rwandan nation’s Tutsi people. She graduated from the University of Texas at San Antonio. She serves as a board member for OneTribe, a non-profit peace-building organization serving in East and Central Africa. She authored the memoir, By Any Means Necessary Healing and Forgiveness After Genocide. Henriette enjoys speaking to colleges, church groups, and human rights organizations about attitudes and actions that prevent mass atrocities, consequences of human prejudice, and the healing potential of intentional unity. As founder of The Million Lives Genocide relief fund, she is an ardent advocate for truth-based justice, PTSD awareness, and community restoration.
