(1/6) Today, as we mark #Kwibuka30 , my heart is heavy with the memory of losing 27 family members in the genocide against the Tutsi in 1994 in Rwanda. The journey of remembrance is both a tribute to their lives and a vow to never forget.
Last week, 7 courageous aid workers with World Central Kitchen were killed by an Israeli airstrike in Gaza while trying to feed starving people.
Listen to the words of Chef José Andrés on what's happening in Gaza today.
A great Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie spoke about the danger of a single story & urged Africans & those in the African Diaspora to share our own experiences instead of letting negative portrayals of Africa dominate Western media. Gratitude to Professor Senait Fisseha 4 amplifying our voices!
Yesterday, I was at #Rwanda ’s 30th commemoration of the genocide against the Tutsi, to honor the memory of over 1 million lives lost.
I felt again the impact and the hope that modern Rwanda, my new home, represents. My full reflection via the The Telegraph:

#Kwibuka30
“Rwandans will NEVER understand why anyone, any country would remain intentionally vague about who was targeted in the Genocide. Such ambiguity is in fact denial, which is a crime. Rwanda will ALWAYS challenge it.
HE Paul Kagame
.World Health Organization (WHO) and partners managed to reach Al-Shifa — once the backbone of the health system in #Gaza , which is now an empty shell with human graves after the latest siege. The team witnessed at least five dead bodies during the mission.

The concept of the “time billionaire” changed my life.
I hope it sparks you to think about yours.
