Jeanne Celestine Lakin, recently featured in George W. Bush's book Out of Many, One: Portraits of America's Immigrants, has had a life full of trials and tribulations, but remains a testament to the power of resilience and faith. In April of 1994, the Rwandan government, aided by trained paramilitary militias and Hutu citizens, initiated an ethnic massacre aimed at eliminating the Tutsis. Just nine-years-old and a Tutsi herself, Jeanne faced a grave reality. Over the course of 100 days, she and her sisters were forced to survive in the wilderness as violent militiamen hunted them. After months of slaughter, she discovered nearly all her adult relatives, including her parents, along with one million others were killed. Surviving the genocide was only the beginning. At 14 years old, Jeanne found herself in an American classroom learning a new language and new culture while healing from the horror she witnessed and abuse she endured. As she grew into adulthood, journaling became her cathartic release.

She was determined to create a better life for herself in America and went on to attend college and then earn her master's degree from Eastern Washington University. Upon graduating, Jeanne met a kindred spirit, her now husband, Paul, who also suffered childhood abuse. Together, they attended counseling, grew closer and found their deep passion for helping children who have suffered situations similar to their own. For the past ten years, Jeanne has served as an adoption counselor and academic advisor, and most recently released her memoir, A Voice in the Darkness. The book recounts her loss of innocence and fight for survival. It also provides hope that bright lights can overshadow dark days. As a Washington Speakers Bureau speaker, Jeanne inspires audiences around the country about the power of forgiveness and the value of education.
