I was born and grew up in Burundi (located in the central-east part of Africa). I now live in USA with my family.
I think that the world would be of breathtaking beauty if we all lived in harmony. I am working on living in harmony with myself first as I believe that my outer world is a reflection of my inner world.
My ultimate desire is that the life conditions - especially for women - in Burundi will improve; that honest conversation between both ethnic groups will happen. That hatred between Hutus and Tutsis will consequently recede.
I am committed to playing any role I can to initiate real conversation that would include women as they are the ones to suffer the most from war atrocities.
