About Immaculée Ilibagiza


Immaculée Ilibagiza was born and raised in a small village in
Rwanda, Africa. She enjoyed a peaceful childhood with her loving
parents and three brothers. Education was very important in her
household, so it was no surprise that she did well in school and
went on to the National University of Rwanda to study electrical
and mechanical engineering. It was while she was home from school
on Easter break in 1994 that Immaculée's life was transformed
forever.


In 1998, Immaculée emigrated from Rwanda to the United States
where she continued her work for peace through the United
Nations. During that time, she shared her story with co-workers
and friends who were so impacted by her testimony they insisted
she write it down. Three days after finishing her manuscript, she
met best-selling author Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, who, within minutes of
meeting her, offered to publish her book. Dyer is quoted as
saying, "There is something much more than charisma at work here
- Immaculée not only writes and speaks about unconditional love
and forgiveness, but she radiates it wherever she goes."


Immaculée's first book, Left to Tell; Discovering God Amidst the
Rwandan Holocaust (Hay House) was released in March of 2006. Left
to Tellquickly became a New York Times BestSeller. To date, it
has been translated into seventeen languages and has sold over
two million copies. Immaculée's story has also been made into a
documentary entitled The Diary of Immaculée. She has appeared on
60 Minutes, The CBS Early Show, CNN, EWTN, CBS Evening News, The
Aljazeera Network as well as in The New York Times, USA Today,
Newsday, and many other domestic and international publications.
She was recently featured in Michael Collopy's Architects of
Peace project, which has honored legendary people like Mother
Teresa, Jimmy Carter, Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama.


Immaculée has received honorary doctoral degrees from the
University of Notre Dame, Saint John's University, Seton Hall
University, Siena College, Walsh University and the Catholic
University of America. She has been recognized and honored with
numerous humanitarian awards, including The Mahatma Gandhi
International Award for Reconciliation and Peace, the American
Legacy's Women of Strength & Courage Award and the 2015
National Speaker’s Assocation’s Master of Influence Award.


Left toTell has received a Christopher Award "affirming the
highest values of human spirit," and was chosen as Outreach
Magazine'sselection for "Best Outreach Testimony/Biography
Resource of 2007." Left to Tell has been adopted into the
curriculum of dozens of high schools and universities, including
Villanova University, which selected it for their "One Book
Program," making Left to Tell mandatory reading for its 6,000
students.


Immaculée has written six additional books in recent years - Led
by Faith: Rising from the Ashes of the Rwandan Genocide, Our Lady
of Kibeho, If Only We Had Listened, Visit from Heaven, and The
Boy Who Met Jesus, and The Rosary.


Today, Immaculée is regarded as one of the world's leading
speakers on faith, hope and forgiveness. She has shared this
universal message with world leaders, school children,
multinational corporations, churches, and at events and
conferences around the world, including a recent presentation to
over 200,000 people in Sao Paulo, Brazil.


A major motion picture about her story is under production with
an international release in theaters in 2018.
