Jeanne was a mere child when the genocide erupted, forcing her and her siblings into the wilderness, running from violent militias. Despite the relentless brutality and the tragic loss of her family, Jeanne found in herself a strength that not only ensured her survival but also fueled her relentless pursuit of education and justice.
She transformed her life from a genocide survivor to a celebrated humanitarian, earning a master's degree in Public Administration and Public Policy and a bachelor's degree in International Relations. Today, she sits as Chairwoman for the ODIHR International Survivors of Trafficking Advisory Council (ISTAC), where she is a formidable force against human trafficking on a global scale. Her work has had significant impact at United Nations events and her innovative NGO, One Million Orphans, provides sustainable support to vulnerable children worldwide.
In the midst of her busy life fighting for human rights, Jeanne found time to pen "A Voice in the Darkness." Her memoir gained significant attention, even being featured in President George W. Bush's book, "Out of Many, One: Portraits of America’s Immigrants." Jeanne also serves as the Manager of Disability Services for Lone Star College, championing inclusivity and accessibility in education. As a distinguished member of the Washington Speakers Bureau (WSB), her speeches inspire countless individuals.
Now residing in the Greater Houston area with her husband, Paul, and their son, Samuel, Jeanne's journey continues to illuminate the transformative power of resilience, forgiveness, and the immigrant experience. Her memoir, "A Voice in the Darkness," is a testament to this journey.
