I wrote it for you, for me, for our children, for all of us. We know where we come from, what it means to experience hate and how important it is to live in peace. We should keep this peace at all costs so that our children and their children never have to experience what we have gone through. I love you. Ndagukunda cyane Marie.
Judence's new book takes children and adults on a reading journey that is understandable, cleverly written and instructive. It shows how important it is to form a unit, how important it is to listen to each other and reach out to each other. The book makes it clear how strong and important cohesion is in society. To fight evil in time, before it gets out of control. It's a quick and interesting read and you can write your own thoughts into it. Well done @JudenceK 👏a must read!

"As a survivor of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, this moment touches me deeply. Thirty-two years ago, I lost my family and nearly lost my own life. Today, seeing my book A Broken Life displayed during the meeting between the First Lady of Rwanda and the First Lady of Türkiye is more than an honor-it is a testament to resilience, remembrance, and hope. What was once a story of pain and silence has become a voice that travels across borders. I am humbled that my journey, and the memory of those we lost, can be seen and remembered in such a meaningful place. Their lives matter. Their stories matter. We remember." #NeverAgain #Kwibuka #ABrokenLife #Resilience #RememberUniteRenew #GenocideAgainstTheTutsi #Rwanda

Congratulations, Ambassador Christine Nkulikiyinka! 🇷🇼🇪🇸 Wishing you great success in this appointment. Rwanda is proud of you! 🌟@CNkulikiyinka
Congratulations to my dear sister Christine @CNkulikiyinka on your appointment as #Rwanda ‘s first Ambassador to Spain. 🇷🇼🇪🇸 Your dedication to public service earned you the affectionate nickname “Minister of Enjoyment.” Today, diplomacy has officially claimed you back. I have no doubt you will represent Rwanda with the same dedication and grace that have defined your service throughout the years. As your little sister, I couldn’t be prouder. Congratulations, Ambassador!

Today in Paris, I stood where memory speaks louder than words. As a survivor of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi, this memorial touched my heart deeply. It honors those we lost, preserves the truth, and reminds us of our shared responsibility to ensure that such a tragedy never happens again. We remember. We honor. We carry their legacy forward. 🕯️🇷🇼 #Kwibuka32 #GenocideAgainstTheTutsi #NeverAgain #Paris #RememberUniteRenew

✨ 2026 is already filling up with meaningful moments of storytelling, remembrance, and human connection. Through my books A Broken Life and Brücke zwischen den Welten, I continue sharing stories of survival, healing, resilience, identity, and hope. These readings are not only about literature they are about creating dialogue, building bridges between cultures, and remembering the importance of humanity. I am grateful to meet students, readers, educators, and communities in Ettlingen, München, and Frankfurt. 💛 Thank you to everyone supporting this journey and helping these stories reach new hearts. #JudenceKayitesi #ABrokenLife #BrückeZwischenDenWelten #Lesung2026 #Resilience #Healing #CulturalConnection #Storytelling #DiasporaVoices #GenocideAgainstTheTutsi #NeverAgain
