With Our Hearts, Words, and Actions!

Hello world, there are 826 People in this mass grave. During International Women’s Month I was joined with a couple thousand women asking to be heard as they marched for freedom and peace for humanity. But the suffering becomes more and more, globally. 

I passed through a country who has its own story and experience of Genocide in Africa; that country is Rwanda. I had a chance and privilege to be present during the Annual Commemoration Day to see and be one of the witnesses of this month of awareness, of genocide, of massacres and all atrocities against humanity. These things continue in our global community. 

This memorial is in the Kabuga sector of Kigali Rwanda, where they’re still finding mass graves of murdered citizens to grieve and give proper burial. The killing of Tutsi in Rwanda in 1994, now 28 years later, is still so heavy and people need us to be mindful and mourn with this part of our world citizenry.

Personally, I felt how heavy this all weighed on me, how women were raped in such a way that they were unable bear children afterward.

I have been moving around the world carrying these issues that I and my sisters suffer, this rape of humanity. The system doesn’t want to stop and hear these voices crying out, ie. the South Korean Comfort Women of World War II, even until now. No official apologies. No grieving. Rwanda grieves deeply over what happened within its borders, but today, western countries want Rwanda to soften the narrative; to minimize the genocidal atrocity that raped and murdered hundreds of thousands in an effort to “cleanse” the land of one ethnic group.

Let us say in our hearts and with our words and through our actions: Never Again!
